Privacy Policy

Techies Lab ("Techies Lab," "we," "us," or "our") operates techieslab.app (the "Website").

This policy covers the Techies Lab company website and related business-development communications. It does not cover independently operated products that publish their own privacy policies, including AntiBot. The privacy policy displayed by the relevant product applies to that product.

1 · Who is responsible for your information

Techies Lab is the controller of personal information processed through the Website for its own business purposes.

• Email: yolo@techieslab.app
• Website: techieslab.app

2 · Information we collect

2.1 Information you provide

When you submit a brief, book a call, contact us, or communicate with our team, we may collect:

• Your name;
• Work email address;
• Company or organisation;
• LinkedIn profile or other professional profile you choose to provide;
• Information about your product, market, business objectives, and the areas you would like to improve;
• Meeting details, messages, attachments, and other information you include in communications with us; and
• Information required to prepare, discuss, or perform a potential engagement.

Please do not submit passwords, access tokens, payment-card details, government identifiers, health information, or other sensitive personal information through a general Website form. Do not include confidential business information in an initial enquiry unless appropriate confidentiality arrangements are already in place.

2.2 Information collected automatically

When you use the Website, our hosting, security, and analytics systems may process limited technical information, such as:

• IP address and approximate location derived from it;
• Browser, device, and operating-system information;
• Pages viewed, referring page, links used, and timestamps;
• Cookie or similar technology identifiers, where enabled; and
• Technical logs, error data, security events, and performance information.

The exact information depends on the Website configuration and the tools enabled at the time of your visit.

2.3 Information from professional or public sources

When relevant to a genuine business enquiry or relationship, we may review professional information made available by you, your company, LinkedIn, company websites, or other public business sources. We use this information to understand the enquiry, confirm professional context, prepare for a conversation, and maintain business records.

3 · How we use information

We may use personal information to:

• Receive, review, and respond to project briefs and enquiries;
• Schedule calls and communicate about a potential or existing engagement;
• Understand a product, market, or operational challenge described to us;
• Prepare proposals, statements of work, contracts, and project plans;
• Deliver consultancy, tooling, execution, research, or related services under a separate agreement;
• Operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the Website;
• Measure Website performance and understand how visitors use it, where permitted;
• Protect the Website, our systems, clients, and users from misuse, fraud, and security threats;
• Maintain business, legal, tax, and accounting records;
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims;
• Comply with applicable law and valid legal requests; and
• Send relevant business updates where you have requested them or where applicable law otherwise permits. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time.

We do not use Website enquiries to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects solely through automated processing.

4 · Legal bases for processing

Depending on the applicable law and the context, we process personal information on one or more of the following bases:

• Your consent, including for non-essential cookies or marketing where consent is required;
• Steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, such as reviewing a brief or preparing a proposal;
• Performance of a contract with you or your organisation;
• Legitimate interests, such as operating and securing the Website, responding to business enquiries, improving our services, and maintaining professional relationships, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights; and
• Compliance with legal obligations and the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

Where consent is the legal basis, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out lawfully.

5 · Cookies and similar technologies

The Website may use:

• Strictly necessary technologies required for security, routing, form delivery, or other essential functions;
• Preference technologies that remember choices you make; and
• Analytics technologies that help us understand Website usage and performance.

Where required by law, non-essential technologies will be used only after you provide consent. You can change your choices through the cookie controls made available on the Website or through your browser settings.

Techies Lab does not sell personal information. Techies Lab does not share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.

6 · How we disclose information

We may disclose personal information only as reasonably necessary to:

6.1 Service providers

We may use providers that support website hosting, form delivery, email, scheduling, cloud storage, collaboration, analytics, security, and professional services. They may process information on our behalf under contractual or other appropriate protections.

6.2 Professional advisers

We may provide relevant information to lawyers, accountants, auditors, insurers, and other professional advisers where reasonably necessary.

6.3 Legal, safety, and security purposes

We may disclose information where we reasonably believe it is necessary to comply with applicable law or valid legal process, protect rights or safety, investigate fraud or security incidents, or enforce applicable agreements.

6.4 Corporate transactions

Information may be disclosed in connection with a proposed or completed merger, acquisition, financing, reorganisation, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal safeguards.

6.5 With your direction

We may disclose information when you ask us to do so or otherwise provide valid consent.

We do not allow service providers to use personal information supplied by Techies Lab for their own unrelated advertising purposes.

7 · International data transfers

Techies Lab and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you are located. Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we use an available legal mechanism, contractual protection, or other appropriate safeguard.

8 · Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to respond to an enquiry, maintain a business relationship, perform a contract, protect the Website, meet legal or accounting requirements, and resolve disputes.

Our intended baseline is:

• Unsuccessful or inactive business enquiries: up to 24 months after the last meaningful interaction, unless a shorter period is required or a longer period is justified;
• Client, contract, invoicing, and project records: for the engagement and the period required by applicable legal, accounting, tax, or claims requirements;
• Website security and technical logs: according to the configuration and operational need of the relevant system; and
• Cookie and analytics data: according to the lifespan and retention setting disclosed in the Website cookie controls.

We delete, anonymise, or aggregate information when it is no longer required.

9 · Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live and which law applies, you may have the right to:

• Receive information about how your personal information is processed;
• Request access to personal information we hold about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• Request deletion of eligible information;
• Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
• Object to certain processing, including direct marketing;
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• Request a portable copy of eligible information;
• Opt out of a sale or legally defined sharing of personal information, where applicable;
• Request information about categories of information collected, used, or disclosed; and
• Lodge a complaint with an applicable data-protection authority.

To exercise a right, email yolo@techieslab.app with the subject Privacy Request. Please explain the request and the Website interaction or business relationship concerned. We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity or authority. We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

Some rights are subject to legal exceptions. For example, we may retain information required to comply with law, protect security, preserve the rights of another person, or establish or defend legal claims.

10 · Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These measures are described at a high level on our Security page.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Please use appropriate caution when deciding what information to submit through the Website. If you believe information associated with Techies Lab has been exposed or misused, email yolo@techieslab.app with the subject Security Report.

11 · Third-party websites and services

The Website may link to LinkedIn, Discord, scheduling tools, product websites, research sources, and other third-party services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. Techies Lab is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of an independent third party.

12 · Children's privacy

The Website is intended for business and professional audiences and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person below the minimum age applicable in their jurisdiction. If you believe a child has submitted information through the Website, contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

13 · Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the Website, our services, our data practices, or applicable requirements change. The date at the top shows the most recent update. If a change is material, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.
