Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how TeqEngine ("TeqEngine," "we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit teqengine.ai, submit a form, contact us, or otherwise interact with our website.

This website is intended for business visitors, prospective clients, partners, and candidates. It is not directed to children and is not intended for the submission of regulated, confidential, or sensitive client data.

2. Information We Collect

3. Information You Should Not Submit

Do not submit passwords, production credentials, API keys, protected health information, payment card information, trade secrets, confidential client materials, source code, or regulated data through the website contact form. Sensitive project information should be shared only after an appropriate agreement is in place.

4. How We Use Information

• Respond to inquiries and evaluate whether TeqEngine is a fit for a potential engagement.
• Operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website and contact form.
• Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, and other security incidents.
• Manage business operations, pipeline, client communications, and administrative records.
• Develop website content, service positioning, and marketing performance analysis.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce agreements or website terms.

5. AI-Assisted Business Tools

TeqEngine may use internal productivity, automation, search, or AI-assisted tools to organize business information, draft responses, manage pipeline, or improve internal workflows. Do not submit confidential or sensitive information through the website. Client confidential information, production data, and engagement materials are governed by the applicable services agreement, statement of work, confidentiality agreement, or data processing terms, not this general website policy.

6. Cookies, Security, and Analytics

The website may use essential cookies, local storage, server logs, or similar technologies for security, performance, functionality, and abuse prevention. To protect the contact form from spam and automated abuse we use rate limiting and bot filtering that runs within our own AWS infrastructure, which may process technical signals to verify that a visitor is legitimate.

If analytics or advertising measurement tools are enabled, we will use them to understand website usage, campaign performance, and service interest. We do not currently sell personal information, and we do not use website contact-form submissions for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Some browsers offer "Do Not Track" signals. Because there is not a uniform industry standard for responding to those signals, this website does not currently respond to them.

7. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with the following categories of recipients when necessary:

• Cloud hosting, infrastructure, and email delivery providers, including AWS and Amazon SES.
• Cloud infrastructure used for security and anti-abuse (rate limiting and bot filtering), operated within our AWS environment.
• Content management, analytics, CRM, scheduling, email, and business operations tools if enabled.
• Professional advisors, legal counsel, accountants, or similar parties when needed.
• Government authorities or other parties when required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, or security.

8. Retention

We retain website inquiries, business communications, and related records for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, managing business relationships, maintaining security, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative safeguards designed to protect information submitted through the website. No website, network, or transmission method is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have some or all of the following rights:

• Request access to personal information we maintain about you.
• Request correction or deletion of personal information, subject to legal and operational limits.
• Object to or restrict certain processing where applicable law provides that right.
• Opt out of non-essential marketing communications.
• Appeal or submit a complaint where applicable law provides those rights.

To make a request, contact us at hello@teqengine.ai. We may need to verify your request before acting on it.

11. California Privacy Notice

This section is provided for California residents. We may collect identifiers, professional or employment-related information, internet or electronic network activity information, commercial information related to service inquiries, and inferences from website or business interactions. We use those categories for the business purposes described above. We do not sell personal information and do not knowingly share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

If the California Consumer Privacy Act or another state privacy law applies to a particular request, we will handle that request in accordance with the applicable law.

12. International Visitors

TeqEngine is based in the United States. If you access the website from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed in the United States and other locations where our service providers operate.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will apply prospectively unless otherwise required by law.
