Privacy Policy

TheDCworker ("we," "us," or "our") provides website management and social media management services to small businesses. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through thedcworker.free.je (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site or submitting a form to us, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide directly — such as your name, email address, business name, and message when you submit our contact form or book a discovery call.
• Communications — records of emails, calls, or messages you exchange with us once you reach out.
• Automatically collected information — basic technical data such as browser type, device type, pages visited, and approximate location, gathered through standard web server logs or analytics tools.

We do not knowingly collect payment card details through the Site; any billing for services is handled separately through invoicing or a payment processor at the time you engage our services.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries submitted through our contact form and schedule discovery calls.
• Provide, maintain, and improve our website and social media management services.
• Send you information about your project, invoices, or account-related updates.
• Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it.
• Comply with legal obligations and protect against fraud or misuse.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it to send unsolicited marketing to third parties.

3. Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share limited information with:

• Service providers who help us operate the Site or deliver our services — for example, our contact form processor (Web3Forms), website hosting provider, and email provider — under obligations to handle your data responsibly.
• Legal or safety reasons — if required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of TheDCworker, our clients, or others.
• Business transfers — if TheDCworker is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. Cookies & Similar Technologies

The Site may use cookies or similar technologies to remember basic preferences and understand aggregate visitor behavior. You can disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect some Site functionality but will not prevent you from contacting us.

5. Data Retention

We retain contact form submissions and related correspondence for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and, if you become a client, for the duration of our working relationship plus a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping and legal purposes. You can request earlier deletion as described in "Your Rights" below.

6. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information you share with us. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain uses of it. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

8. Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for business owners and professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the relevant age of consent in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or operational reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
