Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how 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, live 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

• Review career expressions of interest and communicate with candidates about a potential fit.
• 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 Tools in Business Operations

TeqEngine may use internal productivity, automation, search, or AI 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, live 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, analytics, and abuse prevention. Form submissions may be screened for spam and automated abuse.

Google Analytics and PostHog are enabled by default to help us understand website traffic and improve the site. You may turn analytics off at any time through the footer controls. We respect previously saved opt-outs. PostHog session recording and automatic interaction capture are disabled. We omit query strings and contact-form contents from our analytics events. When analytics are on, Google Analytics may use analytics cookies; PostHog stores anonymous identifiers in browser-tab storage during your visit. Approved campaign labels may be retained during that visit. We do not sell personal information or use contact submissions for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We keep analytics off when your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track. A local preference records your analytics choice; necessary form protection and server security logs are independent of that choice. Turning off analytics does not prevent you from sending an inquiry.

7. How We Share Information

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

• Service providers that support website operation and email delivery.
• 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, use our contact form. 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.
