Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 18, 2026 · Revised: May 18, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Blackridge ("we", "us", and "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website. This site presents Blackridge's software engineering work and provides a way to contact us.
What We Collect
When you submit the contact form, we collect your first name, last name if provided, email address, subject, and message. We use this information only to respond to your enquiry and continue the conversation you started.
When you visit the site, standard hosting and server infrastructure may record technical information such as IP address, browser type, requested pages, timestamps, and error logs. This is used for security, diagnostics, and reliability.
How We Use Your Data
Contact form submissions are used to reply to your message. We do not add you to a mailing list unless you separately ask us to.
Server logs are used to investigate errors, protect the website, and understand basic operational issues.
Cookie choices are used to remember whether you accepted, rejected, or customized optional cookies.
Cookies
Essential cookies are required for the site to work and cannot be disabled through the cookie banner. They include the cookie that remembers your cookie preferences and theme-related browser storage used by the site.
Analytics cookies are optional. If accepted, they may be used to measure page views, project page interest, and calls-to-action so we can improve the website.
Marketing cookies are optional. If accepted, they may be used later for campaign measurement or retargeting if Blackridge adds marketing pixels.
You can change your cookie choice at any time using the Cookies link in the footer.
Third-Party Services
Contact form messages are delivered using the SMTP email settings configured for this website. Your submitted name, email address, subject, and message are transmitted only as needed to deliver the email to Blackridge.
The site may be hosted on third-party infrastructure. Standard hosting logs may be processed by that provider for security, performance, and diagnostics.
LinkedIn is linked from the footer. If you open that link, LinkedIn's own privacy policy applies to your use of their website.
Data Retention
Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to respond to the enquiry and manage the business relationship that follows.
Operational logs are retained by hosting infrastructure for a limited period for security and diagnostics.
Cookie consent is stored in your browser for up to 180 days unless you clear browser data sooner.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, erase, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data.
You may withdraw optional cookie consent at any time from the Cookies link in the footer.
To exercise privacy rights or ask a privacy question, contact us at work@blackridge.org.in.
Security
We use reasonable technical measures to protect information submitted through the site, including HTTPS and server-side validation for the contact form.
No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
This website is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child submitted information through the site, contact us so we can delete it.
Changes To This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The Last updated date below reflects the latest version.
