This policy explains what personal data FourTabs (“we”, “us”) collects when you use this website, why we collect it and what rights you have. We keep it short and honest: we collect very little, and we never sell it.
Who we are
FourTabs is a software development company. For the purposes of data protection law we are the controller of the personal data described in this policy. You can reach us at hello@fourtabs.com.
What data we collect
We collect only what is needed to run the site and answer your requests:
- Contact form: your name, email address and the message you send us.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, pages visited and timestamps, recorded in server logs for security and troubleshooting.
- Cookies: a small set of cookies described in the “Cookies” section below.
We do not ask for payment details, identity documents or special categories of data. Please do not send us confidential information through the contact form unless we have agreed on that in advance.
Why we use it and on what basis
- To reply to your request and discuss a possible project (legitimate interest and steps towards a contract).
- To keep the site secure, detect abuse and fix errors (legitimate interest).
- To remember your cookie choice (legitimate interest) and, if you allow it, to understand how the site is used (consent).
- To comply with legal obligations where they apply to us.
Cookies
Necessary cookies keep the site working: they remember your language, protect forms against misuse and store your cookie choice. They are set without consent because the site cannot work without them.
Optional cookies, such as analytics, are set only if you choose “Accept all” in the cookie banner. At the moment the site does not load any third-party analytics; if that changes, this policy will be updated and your choice will be respected.
You can change your choice at any time with the button below or by clearing cookies in your browser.
Who we share data with
We do not sell or rent personal data. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site and our email, such as hosting and email delivery providers, and only to the extent needed. Those providers act on our instructions. We may also disclose data if the law requires it.
International transfers
Our providers may process data outside your country. Where that happens, we rely on recognised safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision.
How long we keep it
- Contact form messages: for as long as we are in conversation about a project and up to 24 months afterwards, unless a contract requires longer.
- Server logs: up to 12 months.
- Cookie choice: 12 months.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, to receive it in a portable format and to withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority. To exercise any right, write to hello@fourtabs.com. We will respond within the time the law requires.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including encrypted connections and access controls. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
This site is intended for businesses and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed. Material changes will be announced on this page.
