Privacy policy
Last updated
This explains what happens to information when you visit this site or send us an enquiry. It is written to match what the site actually does, not what a template says it might do.
The short version
- There are no visitor accounts. The only thing the site stores about you is an enquiry you choose to send.
- The contact form sends your enquiry to us: it is saved in our database and emailed to our inbox, and we reply to the address you give.
- Two cookieless tools from Vercel measure page views and load speed. Neither builds a profile of you.
- The work section embeds live demo sites. Those run in your browser and can set their own storage.
- We do not sell personal data and there is no advertising network here.
01Who this policy covers
Foxquart is a product engineering studio based in India. We build operational software (clinic systems, school and warehouse platforms, automation) and this website is where we describe that work and take enquiries.
This policy covers this website and the enquiries that reach us through it. It does not cover data we handle inside a client project; that is governed by the agreement signed for that project, and is described in section 13.
02What the contact form actually does
Nothing you type is transmitted while you type it. When you press send, the form submits what you entered to our own server, which does two things: it stores the enquiry in our database (hosted by Neon) so it cannot be lost, and it emails a copy to our enquiry mailbox (delivered by Resend) so we see it quickly. Both copies contain only what you put in the form.
Alongside the fields you fill in, the server records the time of the submission, your browser’s user-agent string, and a one-way hash of your IP address. The hash is used only to slow down abuse of the form (rate limiting); the IP address itself is not stored.
03Information you give us
The enquiry we receive is built from the fields you fill in:
- Your name, and the email address you want a reply at.
- Optionally your company name and a phone number.
- The kind of work you are asking about, a timeline, and your preferred time of day for a call, together with the timezone your browser reports.
- Whatever you write in the message field, usually a description of the process or system you want fixed.
You can also reach us without the form. If you email business@foxquart.com or call one of the numbers on the site, we hold that correspondence and any notes we make about the conversation.
Please do not send us confidential material, patient data, credentials or production exports in a first enquiry. If a project needs that, we will put an NDA and a secure transfer route in place first.
04Information collected automatically
Three things measure or log traffic on this site. None of them shows us who you are, and none of them is an advertising tool.
Vercel Web Analytics
Records a page view when you open a page: the path, the referring site or search engine, coarse device information (browser, operating system, device type) and the country the request came from. Per Vercel’s documentation it sets no cookies. Repeat visits within a day are counted using a hash derived from the incoming request and a salt that rotates every 24 hours, so the same person cannot be recognised from one day to the next.
Vercel Speed Insights
Measures how fast pages actually load on real devices: Core Web Vitals such as LCP, CLS, INP, FCP and TTFB, alongside the route, device type and connection quality. It sets no cookies and captures no page content or form input.
Hosting logs
Our host receives the information any web server receives in order to answer a request: IP address, user agent, the URL requested and a timestamp. These are used to deliver the site, to investigate errors and to deal with abuse. They are short-lived and we do not mine them.
There is no login, no session recording, no heatmap tool, no advertising pixel and no cross-site tracking on this site.
06Who else is involved
We keep the list short on purpose. These are all of them:
Vercel
Hosts the site and provides Web Analytics and Speed Insights. It processes traffic data on our instructions.
Neon
Hosts the database where contact-form enquiries are stored, on our instructions.
Resend
Delivers the notification email that carries your enquiry from our server to our mailbox. It processes the message in order to deliver it.
Our enquiry mailbox is a Google account, so emails that reach us are stored in Google’s systems. Google also serves the web fonts this site uses.
Unsplash
Serves some of the photography used in the work section.
Demo hosts
The live demo sites embedded in the work section are hosted on Netlify and Vercel and are loaded directly by your browser.
We do not sell personal data, we do not share it with advertising networks or data brokers, and we run no retargeting. We disclose information to authorities only where the law requires it.
07Why we use this information
- To answer your enquiry and prepare a scope or proposal. For visitors in the EEA or UK, the basis is steps taken at your request before entering a contract; under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, it is the purpose for which you voluntarily provided the information.
- To understand which pages are useful and how quickly the site loads. The basis is our legitimate interest in running and improving our own website. The measurement is aggregate and does not identify you.
- To keep the site available and deal with abuse. The basis is our legitimate interest in the security of our systems.
- To keep records of engagements we take on. The basis is legal obligation under tax and company law, and our legitimate interest in being able to answer a dispute.
We do not use enquiry details to build a marketing list. If you write to us once and we do not work together, we do not add you to a newsletter.
08How long we keep it
- Enquiries (the database record, the email copy and call notes): kept while the conversation is live and for 24 months after the last message, then deleted from both the database and the mailbox.
- If an engagement starts: correspondence and project records are kept for the life of the engagement, then for the period Indian tax and company law require of business records, currently eight financial years for books of account.
- Analytics: aggregate, non-identifying counts held by Vercel for the retention window of our plan. No profile of you is built or stored, and nothing there can be traced back to a person.
- Hosting logs: short-lived, kept by our host for its standard operational window.
You can ask us to delete your enquiry earlier than any of this. See section 10.
09Where your information is processed
Foxquart operates from India. The site is served from Vercel’s global edge network, so your request is usually handled by whichever server is closest to you, which may be outside India. Enquiries are stored with Neon and delivered by Resend, whose infrastructure may also be outside India. Our mailbox is hosted by Google.
Where information about visitors in the EEA or the UK is processed outside those regions, we rely on the standard contractual clauses and transfer terms our providers publish for their services.
10Your rights, and how to use them
Whoever and wherever you are, you can ask us to:
- Tell you what we hold about you and why.
- Correct anything that is wrong.
- Delete it, including deleting an enquiry thread from our mailbox.
- Stop using it for a particular purpose.
- Send you a copy in a portable format.
Write to business@foxquart.com from, or quoting, the email address you contacted us with, so we can be reasonably sure the request is yours. We respond within 30 days. There is no charge and we will not treat you differently for asking.
If you are in India, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 gives you rights of access, correction, erasure, grievance redressal and nomination, and the right to escalate to the Data Protection Board of India. If you are in the EEA or the UK, the GDPR and UK GDPR give you access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, and the right to complain to your data protection authority.
11Security
Traffic to this site is encrypted in transit over HTTPS, and so is the connection between our server and the enquiry database. There are no visitor accounts; the only personal data the site stores is what you send through the contact form, and that database is not readable from the website itself; it is reachable only with credentials held by the people who answer enquiries. The mailbox that receives enquiries is protected with two-factor authentication.
No system is completely secure. If a breach affects your information we will tell you and the relevant authority within the timeframes the law sets.
12Children
This site is aimed at businesses and the people who run them. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, write to us and we will delete it.
13Data inside a client project
During an engagement we often process data belonging to a client’s business: patient records, staff rosters, stock movements, customer lists. In that relationship the client decides what is collected and why; we act on their instructions under the agreement signed for that project, with access limited to the engineers working on it.
If you are a customer, patient or employee of one of our clients, your rights sit with that organisation, not with us. Write to them, and they can instruct us.
14Changes to this policy
The date at the top of this page is the date of the current version. If a change materially affects how we handle enquiry data we will say so on this page, and tell active clients by email.
15Contact and grievances
For any privacy question or request, or to raise a grievance about how we have handled your information, write to business@foxquart.com. Our postal address is available on request. You can also call:
If you are not satisfied with our answer, you may escalate to the Data Protection Board of India, or (if you are in the EEA or the UK) to your local supervisory authority.
