Privacy Policy

Last updated June 3, 2026

Decipher Zone Technologies ("Decipher Zone", "we", "us") operates https://www.decipherzone.com and provides software development services to clients across 35+ countries. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have under the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by CPRA (CCPA), and the India Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA).

If you only have time for the short version: we collect what you give us through our contact and consultation forms, we use it to reply to your enquiry and to run a quiet B2B sales process, we keep it for up to 24 months from your last interaction, and you can ask us to delete it any time by emailing info@decipherzone.com.

1. Data controller

The data controller for personal data processed through this website is:

We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer because we are not required to under Article 37 GDPR. For any data protection question, including DPDPA Data Fiduciary requests, write to the email above and we will route the request internally.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide

  • Contact and consultation forms: your name, email address, phone number, country, company name, and the contents of your message.
  • Project Estimator: the project type, industry, feature selections, and any cost or budget figures you enter to generate an estimate. The detailed estimate brief is only sent to us if you submit the unlock form.
  • Chat (Zeno or Tawk.to): the messages you send during the chat session and any contact details you choose to share.

Information collected automatically

  • Usage data: pages visited, time spent on each page, scroll depth, referrer, and approximate location derived from your IP address. Collected via our internal analytics and Google Analytics 4 only after you accept analytics cookies.
  • Device data: browser, operating system, screen size, and user agent string.

Information we do not collect

  • We do not knowingly collect special category data (race, religion, health, biometric, sexual orientation).
  • We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16.
  • We do not buy or rent personal data from data brokers.

3. Lawful basis for processing

Under GDPR and UK GDPR we rely on the following lawful bases:

  • Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): for analytics cookies, marketing cookies, the chat widget, and any optional newsletter sign-ups.
  • Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)): for responding to B2B enquiries, security logging, fraud prevention, and improving our services. We have performed a balancing assessment that documents why our interest in running a sales process does not override your rights.
  • Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b)): once a Statement of Work is signed, we process your data to deliver the engagement.
  • Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)): tax, accounting, and other statutory obligations.

4. How we use your information

  • Reply to your enquiry within one business day.
  • Schedule consultation calls and send proposals.
  • Run a quiet B2B sales follow-up cycle until you ask us to stop or 24 months pass with no interaction.
  • Operate and improve this website, including aggregated analytics and error monitoring.
  • Detect and prevent abuse, spam, and security incidents.
  • Meet our legal, tax, and accounting obligations.

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making with legal or similarly significant effects.
