Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to KreateKode. This Privacy Policy explains how we process information when you visit our website, use our digital tools, and interact with our services. We are committed to transparency regarding our technologies and data practices.

2. Information We Collect

We receive and process information when you interact with our website. This is generally separated into information you provide directly to us and information collected automatically through our service providers.

3. Information You Provide

When you voluntarily submit forms on our website, we receive the information you enter. This is processed solely for the relevant business or support purpose, such as responding to your inquiry or fulfilling a request.

4. Website Usage and Analytics

Depending on your consent preferences, our third-party service providers may automatically collect website usage and performance data. This may include device information, browser types, interaction metrics, and IP addresses (which may be processed temporarily or anonymized).

5. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to measure website traffic and understand usage patterns. We have implemented Google Consent Mode v2, which defaults to a "denied" state for optional analytics storage upon your first visit.

When consent is denied, Google Analytics does not write cookies. It instead uses anonymized, cookieless measurement behavior to capture basic traffic levels. When applicable consent is granted, Google Analytics may utilize cookies (such as _ga and _ga_*) for stateful session measurement.

6. Google AdSense and Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on specific areas of our website, including our tools and blog sections. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies depending on your consent, applicable settings, and Google's advertising configuration.

Applicable consent mechanisms and Google Privacy & Messaging configurations are utilized where required to manage these technologies. When optional storage is denied, personalized advertising and advertising cookies are restricted. For more information on how Google uses data in advertising, please review How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.

7. Cookies and Local Storage

Our website utilizes cookies and local browser storage to function properly and remember your preferences:

• kreatekode-cookie-consent (Local Storage): Stores your cookie and consent preference.
• kreatekode-theme (Local Storage): Stores your selected website visual theme (e.g., dark or light mode). This is functional preference storage, not advertising tracking.
• Analytics Cookies (e.g., _ga, _ga_*): May be utilized by Google Analytics only where applicable based on your consent and configuration.
• Advertising Cookies: Google AdSense and related technologies may use cookies depending on consent and configuration.

8. Consent Management

We ask for your consent before optional analytics and advertising processing occurs. Optional consent defaults to a denied state. You may choose to accept or reject optional technologies. Your consent preferences are stored locally in your browser.

9. Third-Party Services

We utilize the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics (Google LLC): Website analytics.
• Google AdSense (Google LLC): Advertising.
• Vercel Analytics (Vercel Inc.): Website usage and traffic measurement where enabled.
• Vercel Speed Insights (Vercel Inc.): Performance and Core Web Vitals monitoring.
• Resend: Email delivery for website forms.
• Upstash Redis (Upstash): API rate limiting and abuse prevention. IP information may be processed temporarily for rate limiting and security purposes.

10. Contact Forms

Visitors may voluntarily submit information through KreateKode forms, including our Contact, Order, Bug Report, and Suggestion forms. Possible information received includes your Name, Email, Message, and any other voluntarily provided information. This information is processed for business and support purposes related to your submission.

11. Data Sharing and Service Providers

Submitted information may be processed by the service providers necessary to operate the website (such as Google, Vercel, Resend, and Upstash) depending on the relevant service. We do not sell personal information.

12. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect submitted information. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

13. Data Retention

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, support and business operations, security, dispute resolution, and legal obligations.

14. International Data Processing

Third-party providers may process information in countries outside of your country of residence, depending on their global infrastructure.

15. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply to you, you may have rights relating to your personal information, such as the right to access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, withdrawal of consent, and other applicable privacy rights. To make a privacy-related request, please contact us at kreatekode.help@gmail.com.
