Public website / initial inquiries
This policy describes how Stakforge handles information connected with this public website and the messages you send through it. We have kept it focused on what this site actually does.
Scope
In this policy, Stakforge, we, and us refer to Stakforge. This notice covers visits to stakforge.com and inquiries sent through its forms or published contact details. Information handled during a client engagement may be governed by a separate agreement or notice.
This is a business-oriented website. Please do not submit information about children or confidential client records through a general inquiry form.
Information we receive
- Information you provide. Our forms ask for your name, work email, and a message. Depending on the form, you may also provide your organization, role, project type, and preferred timing. If you email or call us, we receive the details you choose to share.
- Inquiry context. A form submission can include the page you sent it from, so we can understand the request. Form submissions are delivered to the Stakforge team by email.
- Technical information. Website hosting and security systems may process ordinary request information, such as an IP address, browser or device details, requested pages, and timestamps, to deliver and protect the site.
How we use information
We use information to respond to your inquiry, discuss work you have asked us about, operate and troubleshoot the website, protect it from misuse, and meet applicable legal obligations. Please use an agreed secure channel, rather than a general web form, if a conversation requires sensitive or confidential material.
Website technology
As currently configured, this public site does not load an advertising pixel or a third-party analytics tag. Basic server records may still be created when a page is requested or a form is submitted. If we add non-essential tracking technology later, we will update this notice and provide any controls required by applicable law.
When information is shared
We use service providers to host the website and transmit inquiry emails. Those services may process information as needed to provide those functions. We may also disclose information to professional advisers or authorities when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights, or address security concerns.
Retention and security
We may keep inquiry correspondence and related technical records after a request is closed for ordinary business, security, or legal recordkeeping. How long we keep a record depends on its purpose and any applicable requirements, so retention periods may vary.
We take reasonable steps intended to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Your choices
You can choose not to submit a form, though we may then be unable to respond to a request. Depending on applicable law, you may be able to ask us for access to, correction of, or deletion of information you have provided. Email us using the address below; we may need to verify your request and may retain information where the law permits or requires it.
Other sites and updates
Links from this site, including links to social platforms, lead to services with their own privacy practices. Please review their notices before sharing information there.
We may revise this policy as the website or our practices change. The date at the top of this page will show when the posted version was last updated.
