Privacy policy

This policy covers DECAPI’s website and the enquiries made through it. It explains what personal information we collect, the basis on which we hold it, and the choices available to you.

It does not cover third-party websites reached through links from this one. Those sites publish their own policies.

We keep collection to what an enquiry actually requires. In practice that means:

Enquiry details are held to answer you, to scope potential work and to maintain a record of our correspondence. Technical information is held to keep the site secure and to understand which pages are useful.

Where the law requires a lawful basis, ours is legitimate interest in responding to an enquiry you initiated, or performance of a contract once an engagement begins.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for advertising.

It is shared only with service providers who operate this site and our correspondence systems on our instructions, and with professional advisers or authorities where we are legally obliged to disclose it.

Enquiries that do not lead to an engagement are deleted within twenty-four months. Records connected to an engagement are held for as long as the relationship and applicable record-keeping obligations require.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request a copy of the information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to how we use it, or to have it transferred elsewhere.

To exercise any of these, write to admin@decapi.org. We will respond within one month.

Our hosting provider tells us the two-letter country your request came from, worked out from your IP address. We use it once, while the page is being built, to decide which currency to show prices in.

For pricing, it is used once and not kept. If you change the currency yourself, that choice is saved in your own browser and is not sent to us. The same country code is also recorded in our visit statistics, described below.

We keep our own simple statistics so we know which pages are useful, how people find us, and whether the site is fast enough. They are ours: no advertising company or analytics provider receives them.

For each page you view we record the page’s address, the website or search engine that sent you (if your browser says), any campaign tag in the link, your country, whether you are on a phone, tablet or computer, and the browser family. We also record how quickly the page loaded for you.

We do not record your IP address or anything that identifies you. To count visitors without a cookie, our server combines your IP address and browser with a secret and the date, and keeps only the scrambled result. It changes every day, cannot be turned back into your IP address, and cannot link your visits from one day to the next.

If you send an enquiry, we note which page you arrived on and how you found us, so we know which parts of the site lead to conversations. Visit statistics are deleted after twenty-five months.

We do not set cookies, for advertising, tracking or statistics. The visit counting above reads and stores nothing on your device, which is why the site does not ask for consent. The site stores one thing in your browser: the currency you chose, so you do not have to pick it again.

Information is transmitted over encrypted connections and held in access-controlled systems. No system is perfectly secure, and we will tell you promptly if a breach affects your information.
