Xandev ("we," "our," or "us") is the online identity under which freelance web development services are offered at xandev.us. We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about the data we collect. This policy explains what information we gather, why we gather it, and how it is used.
When you fill out our contact form, we collect:
If you interact with our engagement popup (which may appear after browsing several pages), we collect your name, email, and any optional message you provide.
If we initiate a live chat with you while you are browsing, the contents of that conversation are stored.
When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain data to understand how visitors use our site and to improve our services. We use a self-hosted, first-party analytics system—no data is sent to Google Analytics or other third-party analytics platforms.
We generate a browser fingerprint based on your device characteristics (screen size, browser type, installed plugins, and a canvas rendering test). This is used to recognize returning visitors across sessions without requiring cookies or sign-in. The fingerprint is stored as a one-way hash and cannot be used to identify you personally.
We assign a randomly generated visitor ID stored in your browser's localStorage. This allows us to recognize you across visits so we can provide a better experience (for example, not showing the same popup twice). This is not a traditional cookie but functions similarly for persistence.
We collect your IP address when you visit. We use a third-party service (ip-api.com) to determine your approximate geographic location (country, city, and region). Your IP address is transmitted to ip-api.com for this lookup and the result is cached on our server. A hashed version of your IP (first three octets only, with a salt) is stored alongside pageview records.
While you are actively browsing, your browser sends periodic updates (approximately every 30 seconds) to let our system know which page you are on and how long you have been there. This data is used for real-time analytics and is automatically purged when you leave the site.
All data is stored on our own web server within protected directories that are not publicly accessible. We do not share data with third-party database or storage providers. Access to stored data is restricted to the site administrator through a secured admin panel.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encrypted passwords, form protection against common web attacks, rate limiting, and secure session handling. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We use the following external services:
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party tracking or advertising platform.
We do not sell, trade, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may disclose information only:
By using this website, you consent to the collection, use, and storage of your information as described in this policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our website. Your continued use of the website following the posting of any changes to this policy constitutes acceptance of those changes.
You have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@xandev.us. We will make reasonable efforts to respond within 30 days.
We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. We provide this website and all data handling "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of security, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Xandev and the individual behind Xandev shall not be liable for any unauthorized access to, alteration of, or loss of your personal data, or for any damages arising from your use of this website or reliance on information provided herein.
Our services are not directed at individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
We may update this privacy policy at any time at our sole discretion. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Your continued use of our website after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. It is your responsibility to review this policy periodically.
