Privacy Protocol

When you submit the contact, collaborator or beta tester forms on hakolkal.com, we collect your name, email address, and your message (a project description, or for the other two forms a portfolio link, or your device and the app you want to test). No account creation is required and no payment data is processed on this site.

We do not use tracking cookies, fingerprinting, or behavioral analytics beyond standard web server logs.

Your contact data is used solely to respond to your inquiry and assess project fit. We do not send unsolicited marketing emails.

Contact form submissions are routed through EmailJS, a third-party email delivery service. EmailJS processes your data solely to transmit the message to our inbox. If you sign up as a beta tester, the email address you give is entered in Apple TestFlight or Google Play Console, solely to give that account access to the test version.

The chat assistant on this site sends the messages you type to Anthropic, which generates the replies as our processor. Do not share sensitive personal data in the chat. We keep the text of each conversation, with no IP address or other identifier attached, for up to 12 months to understand what visitors need and to improve the service, then it is deleted automatically; write to contact@hakolkal.com to have yours deleted sooner. To cap usage, we keep a daily message counter keyed on a hash of your IP address and the date made with a secret key, so the counter cannot be traced back to your address; counters are deleted automatically within about three days. Our hosting provider, Google Cloud, also records the IP address of each request in its standard access logs. If you book a call from the chat, a short summary of the conversation is passed to Cal.com, the booking tool, as the booking notes. If you use the microphone button, your browser's own speech recognition turns your voice into text; in some browsers, such as Chrome, the audio is sent to the browser maker's service for that. The text only leaves the chat if you send it.

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with any other third party.

Contact inquiries are retained for the duration of the business correspondence and up to 24 months thereafter, unless you request earlier deletion.

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us via the form on this site.
