Privacy policy, disclosures, and statutory compliance.

1. Effective Date and Version History

This privacy policy is effective as of October 30, 2026. This version incorporates updated advertising platform standards, consent mode controls, and North Carolina statutory records.

2. Data Controller and Operator Identity

The data controller responsible for personal information processed on this website is Silverpatway, trading online at silverpatway.com. Our physical engineering office is located at 1210 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28206, Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. Telephone communications can be directed to +1 (388) 555-0814 and electronic inquiries to [email protected].

3. Categories of Information Collected

Silverpatway gathers personal data strictly necessary to answer engineering inquiries, formulate project estimates, and measure marketing campaigns. Information is captured through three explicit channels:

• Inquiry Form Submissions (kaja56a.php): Full name, telephone number, email address, physical project or business address, engagement category, technical specification requirements, project summary notes, and timestamp data.
• Support Chat Desk (valaf39.php): Conversation transcripts, local browser session tokens, and any optional contact details provided during live messaging.
• Automated Infrastructure & Ad Telemetry: Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser user-agent strings, referring URLs, render-to-submission durations, cookie preferences, and campaign click identifiers (gclid, msclkid, fbclid).

We do not create visitor accounts, maintain passwords, or handle financial payment cards. We do not process binding ecommerce transactions or credit card numbers on this site.

4. Purposes of Data Processing

All collected information is processed solely for legitimate commercial engineering purposes:

• Evaluating technical project viability, software specifications, and database architectures for prospective clients.
• Formulating accurate scope quotation ranges within our stated pricing parameters ($5,000–$50,000 builds, $250–$1,500/mo support retainers, and $75–$160/hr engineering rates).
• Operating direct communications between prospective clients and our principal engineer, Ivan Petrov.
• Maintaining server security, preventing automated bot abuse through hidden validation traps, and analyzing traffic attribution across paid search campaigns.

5. Legal Bases for Processing

We process personal data under defined legal grounds recognized by United States state privacy regulations and international data frameworks:

• Consent: Explicitly obtained through positive form tick boxes and cookie preference confirmations before activating marketing measurement or sending email responses.
• Contractual Preparation: Necessary to take steps at your request prior to entering into a formal software engineering contract, statement of work, or Service Level Agreement.
• Legitimate Interests: Securing our web server against unauthorized automated traffic, verifying server uptime, debugging API endpoints, and evaluating commercial campaign efficacy without overriding fundamental visitor rights.

6. Advertising Platforms and Click Identifiers

Silverpatway actively acquires prospective client visits through paid digital advertising networks. This website is a live destination for campaigns run on Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising, and may run campaigns on Meta Ads.

Nothing on this website implies that Google, Microsoft, or Meta has reviewed, certified, or endorsed our specific engineering practices.

7. Consent Mode v2 Architecture

Our site implements Google Consent Mode v2 natively. Prior to user consent, all four core advertising and analytical telemetry signals are held in a strict denied state:

• ad_storage: Denied by default.
• ad_user_data: Denied by default.
• ad_personalization: Denied by default.
• analytics_storage: Denied by default.

These signals transition to granted only when a visitor explicitly selects “Accept All” on the consent banner. When a visitor declines storage or withdraws consent through our settings interface, all four signals are immediately reverted to denied, preventing subsequent advertising data transmission.

8. Third-Party Processors and Infrastructure Providers

We share technical information with selected infrastructure and measurement partners under written data handling protocols:

• Google LLC / Google Ireland Ltd: Search attribution and Consent Mode conversion processing via Google Ads.
• Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd / Microsoft Corporation: Search advertising measurement and conversion verification via Microsoft Advertising. For complete details on Microsoft data handling, review the official statement at privacy.microsoft.com.
• Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd / Meta Platforms, Inc.: Campaign measurement for Meta Ads.
• Hosting Infrastructure: Production cloud VPS and web hosting servers located in United States data centers, storing server error logs and inquiry database records.
• Mail Routing Provider: Encrypted SMTP gateway transferring submission notifications to our Charlotte engineering inbox.

9. International Data Transfers

Silverpatway operates engineering hardware within the United States. Inquiries received from international visitors or European clients are transferred to our United States server infrastructure under standard contractual clauses (SCCs) and verified technical encryption safeguards to guarantee equivalent data protection.

10. Data Retention Periods

We enforce specific data retention schedules rather than indefinite storage windows:

• Project Inquiries and Email Records: Retained for 24 months to support ongoing scoping discussions and historical contract references.
• Support Chat Transcripts: Retained for 12 months for technical audit trails.
• Web Server and Access Logs: Retained for 90 days for intrusion detection and system telemetry.
• Cookie Consent Choices (site_consent_v2): Stored locally in your browser for 6 months before re-prompting.
• Data Rights Inquiries: Formally answered within 5 days of receipt.

11. Technical and Operational Security Measures

All web traffic across silverpatway.com is encrypted using current Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3). Inquiry forms employ honeypot validation fields and render-timestamp telemetry to eliminate malicious automated scraping. Access to engineering databases and git repositories is restricted via hardware-authenticated cryptographic keys and private network controls.

12. European Visitor Rights (GDPR)

For visitors protected under the General Data Protection Regulation (gdpr), Silverpatway respects all statutory European privacy rights:

• Access: The right to obtain confirmation and copies of personal data held about you.
• Rectification: The right to correct inaccurate or incomplete technical project records.
• Erasure: The right to request permanent deletion of your inquiry details when no longer needed.
• Restriction: The right to restrict active processing during dispute resolution.
• Data Portability: The right to receive your project records in a structured JSON or CSV format.
• Objection: The right to object to processing based on legitimate commercial interests.
• Withdrawal: The right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting past lawful processing.

13. United States State Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

Under United States state privacy frameworks, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (ccpa), California residents and residents of other applicable states hold specific protections.

You have the right to know what personal information is collected, disclosed, or shared, and the right to delete personal information. Silverpatway does not sell personal information and does not share your data with data brokers for third-party cross-context behavioral marketing. You have the right to non-discrimination for exercising your legal privacy protections.

14. Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Silverpatway honors Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals transmitted by supported web browsers. If your browser broadcasts the Sec-GPC header, our systems interpret this as an immediate affirmative request to opt out of non-essential tracking and hold all advertising cookies in a denied state without requiring manual banner configuration.

15. Protection of Children’s Privacy

Silverpatway provides business-to-business software development and operational web services. This site is not intended for or directed toward individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect, request, or retain personal data from children.

16. Regulatory Authority and Complaints

If you believe that Silverpatway has processed your personal information in violation of statutory privacy standards, you hold the legal right to lodge a formal complaint with the appropriate regulatory authority. In the United States, complaints may be directed to your state Attorney General, including the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) for California residents. Visitors residing in the European Economic Area may file complaints with their national Data Protection Authority (DPA).

17. Data Subject Access Requests (DSAR)

To exercise your statutory rights regarding access, deletion, correction, or portability of personal information, send a written data subject access request to our engineering office:

• Electronic DSAR Intake: Email [email protected] with the subject line “Privacy Data Request”.
• Postal DSAR Intake: Silverpatway Data Compliance, 1210 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28206, United States.
