Privacy Policy
How Expert Dev Studio collects, uses, stores, and protects information submitted through this website.
We collect information only where it helps us respond, recommend, deliver, secure, or improve.
We do not sell personal data.
Marketing emails can be unsubscribed from, while project and transactional emails may still be sent when needed.
Who we are
Expert Dev Studio builds premium websites, 3D website experiences, smart lead flows, AI-assisted buyer journeys, audits, onboarding systems, and website care services.
For privacy questions, contact hello@expertdevstudio.com.
Information we collect
We may collect information that you submit directly through this website, Smart Briefs, audit requests, newsletter signups, project-start pages, onboarding forms, admin systems, and related workflows.
We may also collect basic technical and usage information that helps us understand submissions, security, performance, and the buyer journey.
- name, email address, phone or WhatsApp number
- business name, website URL, Instagram, LinkedIn, or public profile links
- service interest, budget range, timeline, business type, project details, brief answers, and audit requests
- newsletter signup details, onboarding information, payment or project-start information, messages, and notes
- page visited, source page, form submitted, CTA clicked, device type, browser type, approximate location signal, submission time, IP hash, and security logs
- user journey status, popup dismissal or subscription state, and OTP verification status
How we use information
We use collected information to review requests, recommend the cleanest service route, contact you about your request, send requested resources, and deliver or support agreed projects.
We also use information to keep the system reliable, prevent spam, manage admin records, verify contact details, and improve website performance and conversion flow.
- review your brief or audit request
- score and organize leads internally
- send the Buyer Trust Checklist or newsletter if requested
- prevent spam and duplicate submissions
- create project-start links and manage payment or onboarding workflows
- send operational emails and marketing emails only where appropriate
- comply with reasonable legal, security, or business record needs
Smart Brief submissions
Smart Brief answers help us understand your business, website, buyer journey, current gaps, service fit, and likely next step.
Submitting a Smart Brief does not create a paid project or payment obligation.
We may use your brief to generate an initial recommendation, show a result page, send a confirmation email, alert our internal team, and decide whether to recommend an audit, sprint, funnel, 3D website, AI conversion system, authority ecosystem, care plan, or custom route.
OTP and verification
We may use OTP verification to confirm email address, phone number, login, project-start access, booking access, or other sensitive actions.
OTP codes are short-lived. We may store hashed verification records, expiry time, attempt count, resend count, and verification status.
We do not intentionally store plain OTP codes longer than needed for verification.
Project-start, payment, and onboarding information
When a project-start link is created, we may collect and store information related to the selected service, project scope, payment amount, client details, legal acceptance, onboarding status, payment status, project status, and related communication.
Payments may be handled through third-party payment providers. Expert Dev Studio may receive payment status, transaction reference, amount, and related confirmation data, but payment card, bank, or UPI details are usually handled by the payment provider.
Legal acceptance records
Before project start or payment, you may be asked to accept Terms of Service, Refund Policy, project scope, no-guarantee acknowledgement, and third-party cost acknowledgement.
We may store acceptance records, including accepted items, timestamp, policy version, project code, lead code, email, name, source page, and IP hash or related security information.
These records help keep the project-start process clear and fair for both sides.
Analytics and improvement
We may use analytics to understand how visitors use the website and where people drop off.
Analytics may include page visits, source, device type, scroll depth, CTA clicks, form progress, submission quality, and route performance.
We use this to improve clarity, speed, usability, trust, and conversion flow.
Email communication
We may send different kinds of emails depending on what you request or what stage your project is in.
Marketing emails include unsubscribe options. Transactional and project-related emails may still be sent when needed to operate the service.
- newsletter welcome email, campaign emails, and resource emails
- Smart Brief confirmation and founder/admin lead alert
- OTP verification code
- project-start portal email
- payment received email
- onboarding received email
- internal operational reports
- support or follow-up emails
Data sharing
We do not sell personal data.
We may share necessary information with trusted service providers only when needed to operate the website, email system, analytics, payment flow, hosting, database, security, project delivery, or communication.
We aim to share only what is needed for the relevant purpose.
- website hosting and database storage
- email delivery and analytics
- payment processing
- spam prevention and OTP or messaging
- project operations, file storage, or forms
Third-party links
This website may link to third-party websites, tools, payment pages, social profiles, scheduling tools, or service providers.
Expert Dev Studio is not responsible for the privacy practices, policies, or content of third-party websites.
Data retention
We keep information for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected, including communication, project management, support, legal acceptance, payment records, business records, security, analytics, and service improvement.
Newsletter subscribers may remain on the list until they unsubscribe, are removed, or become inactive under our cleanup process.
Some records may be retained longer where needed for payment history, project proof, security, compliance, or dispute prevention.
Your choices
You may contact us to request correction of inaccurate information, unsubscribe from marketing emails, deletion of certain information where appropriate, clarification about how your information is used, or updates to project and contact details.
Some information may need to be retained for legitimate project, payment, legal, security, or business record purposes.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect submitted information.
However, no website, database, email system, or internet transmission is completely risk-free. You should avoid sending sensitive passwords or private access casually. Where access is needed, use secure sharing methods whenever possible.
Children's data
Expert Dev Studio services are intended for businesses, professionals, and adult users. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children for marketing or project purposes.
If you believe a child has submitted information, contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.
International access
Expert Dev Studio may serve clients remotely. Information may be processed through service providers located in different regions depending on hosting, email, analytics, payment, or operational tools.
We aim to use trusted providers and handle information responsibly.
Updates to this policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated as our services, systems, providers, or legal requirements change.
