Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to NewTechDojo. This Privacy Policy describes how personal information is collected, used, disclosed, retained, and protected when visitors interact with our website or contact us regarding our technology services.

NewTechDojo provides information about professional technology services, including Business Intelligence, Data Science, Automation, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Big Data and Data Engineering, and Cloud Computing. The website also contains, or may contain, technology articles, expert interviews, educational resources, and company information.

Visiting the website does not by itself constitute consent to every form of personal-information processing. Where applicable law requires consent for a particular activity—such as the use of certain nonessential cookies—we will seek that consent through an appropriate mechanism.

2. Scope and Website Operator

This Policy applies to the NewTechDojo website at https://newtechdojo.com/, contact inquiries submitted through the website, blog and informational pages, relevant website analytics and technical operations, and applicable interactions with website features.

NewTechDojo is the public-facing operator identified for this website. This Policy does not invent or substitute a separate registered company name, street address, or office location. If a legally registered entity operates the website, its full legal name and any contact information required by applicable law must be added before publication.

This Policy does not govern third-party websites or services reached through external links or embedded content. Those parties control their own privacy practices and provide their own notices.

3. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide Directly

The website's contact form asks for a name, email address, subject, and an optional message. A visitor may voluntarily include other details in the message, such as company information, a project description, or relevant service requirements. Company names, telephone numbers, budgets, and payment details are not identified as required fields in the currently specified form.

Please avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive personal information through the message field. If you provide information about another person, you should have an appropriate basis for doing so.

B. Technical Information

Website infrastructure may process technical information needed to deliver, maintain, troubleshoot, or protect the website. Depending on the live hosting, logging, security, and plugin configuration, this may include an IP address, browser information, device characteristics, requested pages, request timestamps, referring URLs, and diagnostic or security-event information.

The precise technical data collected must be confirmed from the site's hosting environment, server logs, security tools, and active WordPress plugins. NewTechDojo should not describe data as collected unless the live system actually processes it.

C. Cookies and Usage Information

Cookies or similar technologies may be used for essential website operation, preferences, security, or analytics, depending on the features and services configured on the live website. Nonessential analytics or marketing technologies should be described only when their use has been verified.

D. Optional or Future Features

This Policy does not assume that NewTechDojo offers user accounts, paid services, checkout facilities, newsletters, or subscription features. If any such feature is introduced, this Policy and any associated notices must be updated before or when that processing begins.

4. How We Collect Information

Direct submissions

We receive information when a visitor enters it into the website contact form or otherwise communicates with NewTechDojo through an available website channel.

Technical website operation

Hosting infrastructure, server logs, WordPress, and relevant security or maintenance systems may process technical request information as part of delivering and protecting the website.

Configured cookies or analytics

Cookies or analytics tools may collect usage information where they are actually configured and, when required, activated only after the visitor makes an appropriate consent choice.

Third-party integrations

Information may also be processed when the website loads or communicates with an integration that is genuinely active, such as an email-delivery service, spam-prevention tool, externally hosted media resource, content-delivery service, or analytics provider. NewTechDojo does not intend this wording to imply undisclosed or hidden collection methods.

5. How We Use Information

Depending on the information involved and the website's actual configuration, NewTechDojo may process personal information to:

• receive, understand, and respond to contact inquiries;
• communicate about technology services requested by a visitor;
• understand project requirements and maintain appropriate correspondence records;
• operate, maintain, administer, and troubleshoot the website;
• investigate technical problems or suspected misuse;
• protect the website, visitors, and systems against abuse, fraud, or security threats;
• comply with applicable legal obligations and respond to lawful requests;
• establish, exercise, or defend legal claims where appropriate; and
• understand and improve website functionality using permitted analytics where such analytics are enabled.

A contact inquiry is not automatically a subscription to promotional email. If NewTechDojo introduces marketing communications or a newsletter, it must provide a separate explanation and any consent or opt-out mechanism required by applicable law.

This Policy does not state that personal information is sold, shared for behavioral advertising, or used to train artificial-intelligence models. It also does not make the opposite assertion as an absolute guarantee until all relevant website and vendor data flows have been reviewed.

6. Legal Bases for Processing

The legal basis for processing depends on the visitor's location, the purpose of the processing, and the law that applies. Where the UK GDPR, EU GDPR, or a similar framework applies, an appropriate basis may include:

• Consent: where a visitor has made a valid choice for a specific activity and may withdraw that consent.
• Steps requested before a contract: where processing is needed to evaluate or respond to a request concerning possible services.
• Performance of a contract: where processing is necessary to provide agreed services.
• Legal obligation: where applicable law requires information to be processed or retained.
• Legitimate interests: where a properly assessed business or security interest applies and is not overridden by the individual's rights and interests.

These bases do not all apply automatically to every activity. Before publication, NewTechDojo must map each verified processing purpose to the correct legal basis. If GDPR-related rules apply, the final Policy must also contain the required controller identity, recipients, retention information, transfer details, and rights information. Including this section does not, by itself, establish compliance with any law.

7. Contact Form Submissions

NewTechDojo uses Contact Form 7 for its website contact form. The currently specified form requests a required name, required email address, required subject, and an optional message. Information submitted through the form may be used to understand the inquiry, respond to the visitor, discuss relevant service requirements, and maintain appropriate correspondence records.

Form submissions are processed through the website's configured WordPress form and email-delivery systems. Contact Form 7 does not necessarily store submissions in the WordPress database by itself. However, submission-storage plugins, mail systems, email logs, spam-prevention services, backups, hosting logs, and other integrations may store or process information.

NewTechDojo must therefore verify the complete form-processing path rather than state that submissions are never stored. This includes checking whether Flamingo or another storage plugin is active, whether mail logs are retained, whether spam filtering is enabled, whether IP addresses appear in notifications or logs, and whether an external email provider processes messages.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website may store in a visitor's browser. Similar technologies may perform related functions. Their use depends on the features, plugins, and third-party services active on the live website.

Essential or functional technologies

These may support core website operation, security, form functionality, or other features requested by a visitor. Their actual names, providers, purposes, and durations must be confirmed from the live website.

Preference technologies

These may remember relevant visitor choices when such functionality is enabled. This Policy does not assume that preference cookies are currently active.

Analytics technologies

Analytics technologies should be described only if an analytics service is actually configured. The provider, information collected, purpose, retention settings, and available visitor controls must then be identified where required.

Marketing or advertising technologies

This Policy does not claim that advertising cookies, tracking pixels, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, or comparable tools are active. If any such technology is introduced, the disclosure and consent arrangements must be reviewed and updated.

WordPress, Divi, WP Coder, and Contact Form 7 do not have an identical cookie profile on every website. The live installation must be tested before a cookie table is published. No cookie names or expiration periods are listed here because verified cookie-scan data has not been supplied.

If applicable law requires consent for nonessential technologies, NewTechDojo must use a functioning consent mechanism that actually controls those technologies. This Policy does not claim that a cookie-preference panel exists unless one is implemented and tested.

9. Analytics and Third-Party Technologies

Depending on the live configuration, the website may rely on third-party technology for hosting, email delivery, spam prevention, security, analytics, content delivery, embedded media, externally hosted images, fonts, or icon resources. Before this Policy is finalized, all active WordPress plugins and external network requests should be reviewed.

The website is built using WordPress, Divi, WP Coder, and Contact Form 7. Identifying these technologies does not establish that they independently receive every visitor's personal information; the relevant processing depends on how the live website and its integrations are configured.

Externally hosted images

NewTechDojo plans to display some images delivered from images.unsplash.com. If those external images remain on the live site, a visitor's browser may connect to the image-hosting service and transmit technical request information, such as an IP address, browser details, the requested image, and request timing, as part of delivering the file.

Analytics and embedded content

No specific analytics provider is identified in this draft because none has been verified. If analytics is active, NewTechDojo must identify the provider and accurately explain the relevant data practices and visitor controls. The same principle applies to YouTube videos, social-media embeds, maps, professional-profile widgets, or other third-party content: specific providers should be named only after their use is confirmed.

10. How Information May Be Shared

Information may be handled by service providers involved in operating and supporting the website, but only according to the services actually used. Relevant categories may include hosting infrastructure, email processing, website maintenance, security and spam prevention, analytics where configured, technical support, and other approved processors.

Information may also be disclosed where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law or a valid legal process; protect the rights, security, and integrity of NewTechDojo, visitors, or others; investigate suspected abuse; or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

This draft does not automatically state that NewTechDojo never provides information to third parties, nor does it state that information is sold. Statements about sales, sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising, or corresponding opt-out rights must be based on verified practices and the law that applies.

If California privacy law or another regional law covers NewTechDojo's activities, the final Policy must accurately describe the relevant categories, purposes, disclosures, retention approach, and consumer rights. A “Do Not Sell or Share” link should not be created unless the obligation and a functioning request mechanism have been assessed and implemented.

11. International Data Transfers

Website infrastructure and service providers may process information in countries other than the visitor's country, depending on the actual hosting, email, support, content-delivery, and vendor arrangements. The location of NewTechDojo's hosting environment and relevant service providers has not been supplied for this draft.

Where applicable law restricts international transfers, NewTechDojo must identify and implement an appropriate transfer approach and describe it accurately. This Policy does not claim that particular standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions, vendor commitments, or data-center locations apply without verification. It also does not promise that all information remains in one country.

12. How Long We Keep Information

Personal information should be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to inquiries, maintaining appropriate business records, operating and protecting the website, resolving disputes, and meeting applicable legal obligations.

Relevant records may include contact-form submissions, email correspondence, server and security logs, analytics records where analytics is enabled, and backup copies. These records may have different retention requirements and deletion processes.

No fixed retention period is stated because verified schedules have not been supplied. Before publication, NewTechDojo must provide truthful periods or sufficiently clear retention criteria for inquiry records, mailboxes, mail logs, server and security logs, analytics data, and backups. The final wording should also account for legal holds, dispute records, and the time needed for deleted data to expire from backup cycles.

NewTechDojo should not promise immediate or automatic deletion unless the relevant systems have been configured and tested to provide it.

13. How We Protect Information

NewTechDojo should use technical and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the information and the risks involved. Depending on the measures actually implemented, these may include access restrictions, secure website maintenance, software updates, backup procedures, monitoring, safeguards against unauthorized access, and appropriate controls for service providers.

Only measures that are genuinely implemented should be represented publicly. This Policy does not claim end-to-end encryption, universal encryption at rest, ISO certification, SOC 2 compliance, guaranteed breach prevention, or any other unverified certification or control.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. NewTechDojo therefore cannot promise absolute security, but should periodically review its safeguards and respond appropriately to identified risks.

14. Your Privacy Rights

Privacy rights vary according to the visitor's location, the processing activity, and the law that applies. Where applicable, a person may have the right to:

• request access to personal information held about them;
• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• request deletion, subject to applicable exceptions and retention obligations;
• request restriction of certain processing;
• object to particular processing activities;
• request data portability where the relevant legal requirements are met;
• withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, without affecting earlier lawful processing;
• exercise relevant opt-out rights where applicable; and
• complain to a competent privacy or data-protection authority.

To raise a privacy question or submit a rights request, use the NewTechDojo Contact page. Once a complete and valid support email address has been confirmed, it should also be displayed as an additional contact method.

NewTechDojo may need to request reasonable information to verify a requester's identity and understand the request before responding. Verification should be proportionate, and unnecessarily sensitive identification documents should not be requested by default.

A request may be limited or declined where permitted or required by law—for example, when information must be retained for a legal obligation or to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim. This Policy does not imply that every regional privacy law applies to every visitor or that every request will result in deletion.

15. Children's Privacy

NewTechDojo is primarily a professional technology and business-services website and is not directed toward children. The website does not claim to use an age-verification system or a dedicated parental-consent mechanism.

If a parent or guardian believes that a child has submitted personal information through the website, they may contact NewTechDojo through the Contact page. The inquiry will be reviewed in light of the available information and applicable legal requirements.

16. External Links and Embedded Content

NewTechDojo may link to third-party websites or display embedded content, including technology resources, documentation, professional profiles, videos, and external educational materials where those features are present.

External sites and embedded-content providers may collect information independently and apply their own privacy notices, cookie practices, and terms. NewTechDojo does not control those third-party practices. Visitors should review the privacy information supplied by an external service before providing personal information or interacting with its content.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be reviewed and updated when NewTechDojo's website practices, services, technologies, providers, or applicable legal requirements change. The date below identifies the current version:

Last Updated: 10 Oct 2026

Material changes may be communicated through the website or by another appropriate method where required. NewTechDojo does not guarantee individual email notification unless a notification process is actually available and appropriate.
