Privacy policy.
What we collect when you use codebrisk.com, why, who sees it, how long we keep it and how to reach us about it. Last updated 13 November 2026.
Who we are
This website, codebrisk.com, is run by CODEBRISK ("CodeBrisk", "we", "us"), a software development company working from the United States and Pakistan. We decide how the personal data described here is used (we are the data controller).
For anything about your data, email admin@codebrisk.com.
What we collect and why
| When | What | Why and legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| You send the contact form | Name, email address, your message | To reply to you and send you a copy. Basis: your request and our legitimate interest in answering it. |
| You send the Launch your project form | Name, email address, budget, timeline, project description | To review your project, reply and prepare a proposal. Basis: steps you asked us to take before a contract. |
| You subscribe to the newsletter | Email address | To send you new articles and news. Basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time with the unsubscribe link in every email. |
| You book a call | What you enter in the booking calendar | To schedule the call. The calendar is provided by Calendly and loads only when you open it. |
| You email or call us | Your contact details and what you tell us | To answer you and, if we work together, to run the project. |
| Any visit | IP address, browser, pages requested, time (server logs) | To run the site securely and stop abuse. Basis: legitimate interest. |
| Any visit, only if you accept cookies | Pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser, how you arrived | To understand how the site is used (Google Analytics) and measure our LinkedIn ads (LinkedIn Insight Tag, home page). Basis: your consent. |
The forms are protected from spam by Google reCAPTCHA, which checks that a person, not a bot, is sending them. It loads only with a form. Basis: our legitimate interest in keeping the forms free of spam.
We don't sell your personal data, and we don't use it for automated decisions about you.
Cookies and similar storage
Analytics and advertising cookies are set only after you choose "Accept" in the cookie banner. If you choose "Reject", or make no choice, they are never loaded. You can change your choice at any time:
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
codebrisk_session, XSRF-TOKEN | codebrisk.com | Necessary: keep the site working and protect forms from forged requests | 2 hours |
cbx-consent (browser storage) | codebrisk.com | Necessary: remembers your cookie choice | 12 months |
cbx-theme (browser storage) | codebrisk.com | Remembers light or dark mode, if you switch it | Until you clear it |
_GRECAPTCHA | Necessary on pages with a form: spam protection | 6 months | |
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics | With consent: statistics on how the site is used | Up to 2 years |
bcookie, li_sugr, lidc, UserMatchHistory, AnalyticsSyncHistory | With consent: measure LinkedIn ads (home page only) | Up to 1 year |
The site's fonts and icons are served from our own server, so viewing a page doesn't send your IP address to a font provider.
Who we share it with
We use these service providers, who process data for us or, where they say so in their own policies, as independent controllers:
- Google: Google Analytics (only with consent), reCAPTCHA, and Google Drive for database backups. Google's privacy policy.
- LinkedIn: Insight Tag (only with consent). LinkedIn's privacy policy.
- Calendly: booking calls. Calendly's privacy policy.
- Our web hosting and email providers, which store the site and deliver our emails.
We may also disclose data when the law requires it, or to protect our rights.
International transfers
Our team works from the United States and Pakistan, and some of the providers above are based in the United States, so your data may be processed outside your country, including outside the European Economic Area and the UK. Where that happens we rely on the safeguards the law provides: the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework (and its UK extension) for certified providers such as Google and LinkedIn, and standard contractual clauses or your request (when you ask us to reply to you or take on your project) otherwise.
How long we keep it
- Contact messages and project requests: deleted automatically 3 years after you send them, unless we start working together (then project records are kept as long as the law requires).
- Newsletter: until you unsubscribe; your email address is then deleted.
- Analytics: as set in Google Analytics (14 months).
- Backups: database backups are rotated and the oldest is deleted after 2 years at most.
- Server logs: kept for a short time for security, then deleted.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU and the UK, or Californian law), you can ask us to:
- tell you what data we hold about you and give you a copy;
- correct it, or delete it;
- stop or limit using it, or object to how we use it;
- send it to you or to another company in a common format;
- withdraw your consent (cookies: ; newsletter: the unsubscribe link).
Email admin@codebrisk.com. We reply within one month and may need to confirm it's you first. Using these rights is free. If you're not happy with our answer, you can complain to the data protection authority where you live or work.
Security
The site uses HTTPS everywhere, only our team can sign in to the admin area, and access to enquiries is limited to the people who need it.
Children
This site is for businesses. It isn't meant for children under 16, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Changes to this policy
When we change how we use data, we update this page and the date at the top.
