It is written in plain language so you can understand exactly what we do and why. We encourage you to read it fully and to contact us with any questions.

Information We Collect
We collect information that you provide directly and information that is generated automatically when you use our website or services. The categories described below cover the full range of data that may be processed.
Contact and identity information includes your name, email address, phone number, company name, job title, and physical address when you submit an enquiry, request a consultation, or register for a service. Payment and billing information includes billing addresses, invoices, and records of transactions when you purchase our services through approved channels. We do not store full payment card numbers; payments are processed by regulated payment providers.
Technical information includes IP addresses, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, pages visited, referral sources, and the dates and times of your visits. Project information includes the details you share about your systems, infrastructure, vendors, and business processes when we deliver design, integration, or support services.
We also collect information about your preferences, including which communications you choose to receive and how you interact with our newsletters and updates. This helps us tailor our services and messages to your needs.
How We Collect Information
We collect information in several ways. First, you give it to us directly. This happens when you fill in the contact form on our website, send us an email, call our phone number, or meet with our engineers. Everything you type into a form or share in a conversation is provided voluntarily.
Second, we collect information automatically through standard web technologies. Our website logs basic technical details so that we can keep the site secure, reliable, and fast. We may use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences and to understand how visitors use the site. These technologies are described in more detail in the cookies section of this policy.
Third, we receive information from third parties. When you use payment providers, business partners, or subcontractors involved in a project, those parties may share limited information with us where it is necessary to deliver the service. We only accept such information when we have a lawful basis to process it.
Fourth, during projects we collect information about your environment with your permission. This may include configuration details, usage data, and diagnostic information that helps us design, integrate, and operate your systems effectively.
How We Use Your Information
We use personal information for clear and legitimate purposes. We respond to enquiries, prepare proposals, deliver contracted services, and provide ongoing support and maintenance. Your contact details allow us to schedule work, share progress updates, and answer questions about your systems.
We use technical information to operate and improve our website, detect and prevent fraud and abuse, and ensure that our pages load quickly and work correctly across devices. Analytics data helps us understand which content is useful so we can improve the experience for all visitors.
We use billing and payment information to invoice for services, process payments, and maintain accurate financial records. We use project information to design solutions, perform integration work, and monitor the systems we operate on your behalf.
We may also use your information to send you service-related notices, updates about changes to our policies, and, with your consent, occasional marketing communications. You can opt out of marketing at any time without affecting the services we provide to you.
Legal Bases for Processing
Where data protection law requires a lawful basis for processing, we rely on the following grounds. We process information to perform a contract with you, for example when we deliver design, integration, or support services you have requested. This covers most project related data.
We process information based on our legitimate interests in operating a professional services business, improving our services, securing our website, and communicating with clients and prospects. When we rely on legitimate interests, we balance them carefully against your rights and freedoms.
We process certain information with your consent, such as marketing communications and optional cookies. Where consent is the basis, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that happened before the withdrawal.
We also process information to comply with legal obligations, including tax and accounting rules, data protection duties, and lawful requests from authorities. Where another basis applies under applicable law, we will rely on that basis and document our decision.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, and then for the period required by law or by our legitimate business needs. The length of retention depends on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
Enquiry and correspondence records are kept for a reasonable period after the enquiry is resolved, usually no longer than seven years, so we can respond to follow up questions. Project records, including designs and configuration documentation, are retained for the duration of the engagement and for the warranty or support period that follows.
Billing and financial records are kept for the period required by tax and accounting regulations. Technical logs are retained for shorter periods, typically between twelve and twenty-four months, unless a security incident or legal matter requires longer retention.
When information is no longer needed, we delete it securely or anonymize it so that it can no longer be linked to you. Our retention schedules are reviewed regularly and adjusted to reflect legal changes and operational needs.
Data Security
Protecting your information is a core part of our engineering work. We apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that are appropriate to the sensitivity of the data we hold. These measures are designed to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
On the technical side, we use encryption for data in transit and at rest, access controls that grant information only to people who need it, and monitoring that helps us detect unusual activity. We apply security updates promptly and review our configurations on a regular schedule.
On the administrative side, our staff receive privacy and security training, confidentiality obligations are written into employment and contractor agreements, and access to personal information is reviewed when roles change. We also test our systems and processes to identify weaknesses before they can be exploited.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If a breach occurs that affects your rights, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law and take immediate steps to contain and remediate the incident.
International Data Transfers
We are based in the United States and our primary systems and data stores are located in the United States. If you access our services from another country, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection rules may differ from those in your location.
When we transfer personal information across borders, we apply safeguards to protect it. For transfers that require a specific legal mechanism, we rely on standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions, or other lawful transfer mechanisms recognized by the applicable regulations.
We also select service providers that offer recognized cross border protection. Before engaging a provider, we review its security posture, its compliance certifications, and its handling of international data. We update these reviews on a regular basis.
If you have questions about how your information is protected across borders, or about the safeguards we apply, please contact us and we will provide further details. You have the right to receive information about the mechanisms used for any international transfer that affects you.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over the personal information we hold about you. These rights are designed to give you control and may include the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your data.
The right of access allows you to ask for a copy of the information we hold. The right to correction allows you to ask us to fix incomplete or inaccurate details. The right to deletion allows you to ask us to remove data where the legal basis no longer applies. The right to portability allows you to request a machine readable copy in some cases.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at message@echohawk.buzz with a description of your request. We may need to verify your identity before we can act. We will respond within the timeframe required by law, usually within thirty days, and we will explain our decision in plain language.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe your information has been handled improperly. We ask that you contact us first so we can try to resolve the issue directly.
Privacy for Children
Our website and services are directed at adults and are not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.
In the United States, the Children Online Privacy Protection Act restricts the collection of personal information from children under thirteen. We design our data collection practices to comply with this rule and similar requirements in other jurisdictions.
If a child under the applicable age submits an enquiry through our website, we will delete that information without using it. We rely on schools, parents, and guardians to supervise the online activity of minors.
Parents and guardians who believe their child has shared information with us should contact us at message@echohawk.buzz. We will investigate promptly, delete the information where appropriate, and confirm the action taken.
Third-Party Links and Services
Our website may contain links to other websites, platforms, and services that we do not operate. Examples include payment providers, social media pages, and industry resources. This policy does not apply to those third parties, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices.
When you follow a link to an external site, you should review that site privacy policy before providing any information. The external site may collect data independently of us and may use cookies that we do not control.
During projects, our services may involve integrations with third-party systems that you use, such as software-as-a-service platforms and communication tools. Data exchanged with those systems is governed by their own terms and policies, alongside the agreements we make with you.
We review the third parties we work with to confirm they have reasonable privacy and security standards. However, we cannot guarantee the practices of sites and services that are outside our control, so we encourage you to stay informed and to make independent choices.
Analytics and Marketing
We use analytics to understand how visitors find and use our website. Analytics tools collect aggregated information such as page views, visit duration, device types, and general geographic location. This information helps us improve content, navigation, and performance.
We may use remarketing and advertising technologies that allow us to show relevant content to people who have already visited our site. These technologies use cookies and similar identifiers. You can adjust your advertising preferences through the controls provided by the advertising platforms.
For marketing communications, we only send emails to people who have requested them or who have a clear business relationship with us. Every marketing message includes a simple way to unsubscribe, and we honor opt out requests immediately. You can also write to us at any time to stop receiving such messages.
We do not use analytics data to build profiles that make automated decisions about you that produce legal effects. Any automated tools we use are limited to routine operations such as spam filtering, and decisions with significant consequences are always reviewed by a person.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will revise the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the website or by email.
Material changes will be highlighted so that you can see what has been updated. If a change requires your consent under applicable law, we will obtain that consent before the new version takes effect for any processing that depends on it.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of our website or services after the posting of a revised policy constitutes acceptance of the revised version, except where law requires active consent.
Older versions of this policy are available on request. Contact us if you would like a copy of a previous version or if you have questions about how a particular change affects you.
