Privacy Policy – Asset-Box Website

1. Who We Are

Asset-Box is a mobile app portfolio and ASO (App Store Optimization) services website operated by Emre Balli. Our website address is https://asset-box.com.

For any privacy-related questions, you can reach us at [email protected].

2. Data We Collect

We are committed to collecting the minimum amount of data necessary to operate this website. Here is exactly what we collect and why:

2.1 Contact Form Submissions

When you use our contact form, we collect:

• Your name
• Your email address
• The subject of your message
• Your message content

This data is used solely to respond to your inquiry. Contact form submissions are sent via email through the Resend email service and are not stored in any database on our servers.

2.2 Cookie Consent Preference

When you interact with our cookie consent banner, your preference (accepted or declined) is stored in your browser's localStorage. This is not a cookie and is not transmitted to our servers. It remains on your device only.

2.3 Theme Preference

Your dark/light theme preference is stored in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device.

3. Data We Do NOT Collect

To be completely transparent, we want to clarify what we do not collect:

• We do not use Google Analytics or any analytics tracking service
• We do not use tracking pixels or advertising trackers
• We do not collect your IP address for profiling purposes
• We do not create user profiles or track your behavior across pages
• We do not sell, share, or trade any personal data to third parties
• We do not use fingerprinting or any cross-site tracking technology

4. Cookies and Local Storage

Our website uses minimal browser storage:

• Cookie consent preference: Stored in localStorage to remember whether you accepted or declined cookies
• Theme preference: Stored in localStorage to remember your dark/light mode choice
• Locale preference: Your language selection may be stored to provide a consistent experience

These are all stored locally on your device using the browser's localStorage mechanism and are never transmitted to our servers. You can clear them at any time through your browser settings.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

5.1 Vercel (Hosting)

Our website is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may collect standard server logs (IP addresses, request timestamps, page URLs) as part of normal web hosting operations. Please refer to Vercel's Privacy Policy for details.

5.2 Resend (Email)

We use Resend to deliver contact form submissions to our inbox. The data you submit through the contact form is processed by Resend in transit. Please refer to Resend's Privacy Policy for details.

5.3 Google Fonts

We load the Inter font from Google Fonts. This may result in your browser making a request to Google's servers, which could expose your IP address to Google. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for details.

6. Contact Form Security

We implement multiple security measures on our contact form to protect both you and us:

• Rate limiting: Maximum 5 submissions per hour per IP address to prevent abuse
• Input validation: All fields are validated for proper format and length
• XSS protection: All input is sanitized to prevent cross-site scripting
• Spam prevention: We use honeypot fields and time-based checks to block automated submissions

7. Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through our contact form, please contact us and we will take steps to delete that information.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your data:

• Right of access: You can ask us what data we have about you (in practice, we only have data if you contacted us via the contact form)
• Right to erasure: You can ask us to delete any emails or correspondence we received from you
• Right to rectification: You can ask us to correct any inaccurate information
• Right to withdraw consent: You can change your cookie consent preference at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage
• Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to file a complaint with a data protection authority in your jurisdiction

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Data Retention

Contact form emails are retained in our inbox only for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry. We do not maintain a separate database of contact form submissions. localStorage data persists on your device until you clear it or uninstall your browser.

10. International Data Transfers

Our hosting provider (Vercel) and email service (Resend) may process data in different countries. By using this website, you acknowledge that your data may be processed in countries outside your own. We ensure all our service providers maintain appropriate data protection measures.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
