# Privacy Policy

Effective November 12, 2026

This policy explains what personal information we collect through guvenkaya.co and when you contact us, what we do with it, and the choices you have. Client engagements are governed by the agreement we sign with each client, which takes precedence over this policy for that work.

## Who we are

"Guvenkaya", "we", and "us" mean the two companies below. Either may act as the controller of your information, depending on which one you deal with.

**Guvenkaya Inc.**\
169 Madison Avenue, Suite 43325\
New York, NY 10016, United States

**Guvenkaya L.L.C-FZ**\
Meydan Grandstand, 6th floor, Meydan Road\
Nad Al Sheba, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

For any privacy question or request, email <contact@guvenkaya.co>.

## What we collect

### Information you give us

When you use the contact form, we collect your name and work email, and, if you provide them, your role, organization, organization type, timeline, target date, a relevant URL, and the scope details you write. We also record which page you sent the form from. When you email us or work with us, we collect what you include in that correspondence.

Please do not send secrets, credentials, private keys, or confidential files through the form. We arrange a secure exchange once we have scoped the work.

### Information collected automatically

- **Server and hosting logs.** Our hosting provider records technical data such as IP address, browser type, the pages requested, and the time of the request, to deliver and protect the site.
- **Performance measurement.** We use Vercel Speed Insights to measure page load performance. It does not use cookies.
- **Analytics and advertising measurement.** We use Google Tag Manager to load analytics and advertising tags, which can include Google Analytics, Google Ads, and the LinkedIn Insight Tag. These tools use cookies or similar technologies to record how you use the site, such as pages viewed, the referring site, approximate location, device information, and whether you arrived from one of our ads.

## How we use it

- To reply to your inquiry, scope work, and send proposals.
- To perform and manage engagements with our clients.
- To operate, secure, and improve the website.
- To understand how visitors find and use the site and to measure our marketing campaigns.
- To meet legal, accounting, and regulatory obligations, and to establish or defend legal claims.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.

## Legal bases

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another place with similar rules, we rely on the following legal bases: taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, and performing that contract; our legitimate interests in running and promoting our business, where those interests are not overridden by yours; your consent, where the law requires it; and compliance with legal obligations.

## Who we share it with

- **Service providers** that process information for us: Vercel (website hosting and performance measurement), Resend (delivery of contact form submissions), our email and productivity providers, and Google and LinkedIn for analytics and advertising measurement.
- **Professional advisers** such as lawyers, accountants, and auditors, under duties of confidentiality.
- **Authorities** when the law requires it, or when needed to protect our rights, our clients, or others.
- **A successor business** if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Google and LinkedIn may also use information collected by their tags under their own privacy policies.

## Cookies and your choices

Analytics and advertising tags load when you first interact with a page, or straight away if you arrive from one of our ads. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. You can also opt out of Google Analytics with the [Google Analytics opt-out add-on](https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout), manage Google ad personalization in [My Ad Center](https://myadcenter.google.com/), and manage LinkedIn ad personalization in your [LinkedIn advertising settings](https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/advertising). The site works without these cookies.

## International transfers

We operate from the United States and the United Arab Emirates, and our service providers may process information in other countries. Where the law requires it, we protect transfers with appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses.

## How long we keep it

We keep inquiry information for as long as we need it to respond and follow up. If an inquiry becomes an engagement, we keep the related records for the duration of the relationship and afterwards for as long as contracts, accounting rules, or legal claims require. Analytics data is kept according to the retention settings of each tool. When we no longer need information, we delete or anonymize it.

## How we protect it

We use technical and organizational measures suited to the sensitivity of the information, including access controls, encryption in transit, and limiting access to people who need it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

## Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information; to object to or restrict how we use it; to receive a copy in a portable format; and to withdraw consent you have given. To make a request, email <contact@guvenkaya.co>. We may need to verify your identity before acting on it, and we will not treat you differently for exercising your rights.

You can also complain to your local data protection authority. We would appreciate the chance to address your concern first.

## Children

This site is meant for businesses and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16.

## Changes to this policy

We will post any changes on this page and update the effective date above. If a change is significant, we will make that clear on the site.
