Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Scope

QubikStack ("we," "our," or "us") provides software Quality Assurance (QA), automated testing, and custom web and mobile application engineering services to businesses and startups. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices concerning the collection, use, and protection of information obtained through our website (qubikstack.com) and our customer communications.

2. Information We Collect

We only collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when inquiring about our software engineering or QA consulting services:

• Contact Details: Your full name, business email address, company name, and phone number (if provided).
• Project Specifications: Information about your application requirements, timeline, budget range, and technical stack disclosed in our inquiry forms or initial scoping calls.
• Technical & Usage Data: Anonymized server logs, browser type, device category, referring URLs, and approximate geographic location collected through basic server metrics to maintain site security and performance.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the data collected strictly for legitimate business and professional purposes:

• To respond to your inquiries, schedule discovery consultations, and provide detailed project scope estimates.
• To formulate tailored QA strategies, test plans, and architectural proposals.
• To fulfill our obligations under service agreements and Statements of Work (SOW).
• To detect, prevent, and protect against fraudulent inquiries, spam, and security threats.

4. Mutual NDA & Client Confidentiality

We recognize that software architectures, product backlogs, and pre-release source code represent core proprietary intellectual property. All proprietary code, test data, and technical requirements shared with QubikStack are governed by strict confidentiality obligations. We readily execute mutual Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) prior to reviewing any proprietary documentation.

5. Cookies & Local Storage

Our website uses minimal, functional cookies and local storage tokens:

• Theme Preference: We store your choice of Dark or Light mode in your browser's local storage (`qubikstack_theme`) so the interface remains consistent across visits.
• Cookie Consent: We store a flag confirming your dismissal of the cookie banner (`qubikstack_cookies_accepted`).
• Aggregated Analytics: We may use privacy-preserving, non-invasive analytics (such as Google Analytics 4) to evaluate page engagement without storing personal identity profiles.

6. Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell, rent, trade, or monetize your personal information or business inquiry data to third parties. We only share information with trusted infrastructure providers (such as secure cloud hosting, transactional mail services, or calendar booking tools) solely to the extent required to deliver our services.

7. Data Security & Retention

We implement industry-standard encryption (TLS/HTTPS in transit) and access control protocols to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure of your information. We retain inquiry information only as long as necessary to fulfill the business relationship or satisfy legal accounting requirements.

8. Your Rights & Contact Information

Depending on your jurisdiction (including rights under California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and similar US regulations), you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data stored with us.
