Stateside Digitals [VERIFY: full legal entity name] (“we”, “us”) is a US-based software development company. We build mobile apps, web applications and enterprise software for businesses across the United States.
This policy explains how we handle personal information collected through:
Apps and software we build for clients. When we build or maintain an app for a client, any data belonging to that app’s users is handled under our contract with the client. The client decides what data their app collects and how it’s used, and their own privacy policy applies to their users. If you use an app we built for someone else, contact that company about your data.
Other websites. This site links to third-party sites, such as app stores and social platforms. Their privacy practices are their own, and we recommend reading their policies.
When you fill in a form, email us or talk to us, we collect what you choose to share. That usually includes:
If you apply for a job, we also collect your CV, work history, portfolio links and anything else you send with your application.
When you visit the site, we collect standard technical information, including:

We share personal information only where we need to:
We do not sell your personal information. [VERIFY: keep the next sentence only if no advertising pixels or retargeting tools are used on the site.] We do not share it with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. We use:
You can manage non-essential cookies through our cookie banner [VERIFY: confirm a banner exists] or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site working.
Global Privacy Control. [VERIFY: confirm the site honors GPC before publishing this.] If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of any sale or sharing of your personal information for that browser.
Do Not Track. There’s no agreed industry standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, so we don’t currently respond to them.
We keep personal information only as long as we need it:
When we no longer need information, we delete it or anonymize it.
We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the information we hold, including [VERIFY: e.g. encrypted connections to this site, access limited to staff who need it, and multi-factor authentication on business systems].
No system is completely secure, and we can’t guarantee that information will never be accessed without authorization. If a breach affects your personal information, we’ll notify you where the law requires it.
Wherever you live in the United States, you can ask us to:
Some of these rights are guaranteed by the privacy law of your state. We extend them to everyone. Certain exceptions apply, for example where we need to keep records to meet a legal obligation, and we’ll tell you if one applies to your request.
If you live in California, the California Consumer Privacy Act gives you the rights above, along with the right to know the categories of personal information we collect, the sources, the purposes and the categories of third parties we disclose it to. That information is set out in the sections above. You also have the right to limit use of sensitive personal information. We don’t collect sensitive personal information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about you. [VERIFY]

We’ll confirm we’ve received your request and respond within the time your state’s law requires. To protect your information, we’ll verify your identity before acting on a request, usually by confirming details you’ve already given us. We only use the information you provide for verification to process your request.
Authorized agents. You can ask someone to make a request on your behalf. We’ll need proof that they’re authorized, and we may still ask you to verify your identity directly.
Appeals. If we decline your request, you can appeal by replying to our decision. We’ll review it and respond with our reasoning. If you’re still not satisfied, you can contact your state attorney general.
No penalty for using your rights. We won’t treat you differently, charge you more or offer a worse service because you exercised a privacy right.
If you apply for a role with us, we use your application only to assess your suitability, communicate with you about the role and meet employment law requirements. Your application is seen only by the people involved in hiring. You can ask us to delete it at any time, unless we’re legally required to keep it.
We only send marketing emails if you’ve asked for them or have a business relationship with us that makes them relevant. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. Messages about an active project or enquiry aren’t marketing and will continue while that relationship is ongoing.
This website is for businesses. It isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it.
We’re a US company, and our website and service providers operate in the United States. [VERIFY: confirm provider data locations.] If you visit from outside the US, your information will be processed in the US, where privacy laws may differ from those where you live.
We’ll update this policy when our practices change or the law requires it. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed. If we make a significant change, we’ll make that clear on this page before the change takes effect.
