Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At GitLedge (gitledge.com), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, how we manage consent, and how you can control your data.

2. Information We Collect

Direct Information: When you contact us by email, phone, or chat, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, and message details.

Automatic Data: We may collect IP address, browser type, device info, visited pages, referrer URL, and analytics data via cookies and similar technologies.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tools to operate the site, improve experience, analyze usage, and serve relevant ads. Some cookies are essential, while others are for analytics and personalized advertising.

4. Consent Management & Google Consent Mode

We use a consent management system to record and manage cookie preferences, especially for visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland. Advertising and analytics cookies remain off until consent is given. Google Consent Mode ensures Google tags adjust behavior based on your consent status. You may change or withdraw consent anytime using our cookie settings.

5. Advertising & Third-Party Vendors

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this and other sites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and partners to deliver personalized ads.

You can opt out of personalized ads via Google Ads Settings or industry tools like AdChoices.

Services we may use include Google AdSense (ads), Google Analytics (analytics), and Cloudflare (CDN/security). These providers may track activity across websites per their own privacy policies.

6. How We Use Information

• To respond to inquiries and requests.
• To improve our content, site performance, and user experience.
• To display relevant ads via Google AdSense (only after consent where required).
• To protect the site and comply with legal obligations.

7. Legal Bases for Processing

For EU/EEA visitors, data is processed based on consent (for marketing/cookies) and legitimate interest (to operate and secure the site).

8. Data Retention

We retain data only as long as needed for the purposes outlined here or as required by law. Consent logs are stored to maintain compliance with Google and regulatory standards.

9. Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell or rent personal information. Limited data may be shared with third-party vendors for ads, analytics, hosting, or as required by law.

10. Your Rights

• Access, correct, or request deletion of your data (subject to legal exceptions).
• Disable cookies in your browser (note: may affect functionality).
• Opt out of personalized ads using Google or AdChoices links above.
• Request to restrict or object to processing (where applicable).

11. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. However, no online system is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

12. Children

GitLedge is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If discovered, such data will be deleted immediately.

13. International Transfers

Our services may be hosted outside your jurisdiction. Cross-border transfers are handled in line with this policy and applicable laws.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as needed to reflect changes in practices or law. Updates will appear here with a new “Last Updated” date.
