Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

CodeKarma designs, builds, and maintains websites for small businesses and private practices. This policy explains what information CodeKarma collects through thecodekarma.com and when you work with us, how it is used, and the choices you have.

2. Information we collect

When you use the contact form, we receive:

• Your name and email address
• Your business name and, if you provide it, your current website
• The kind of project you need and your message

When you email us or become a client, we receive what you choose to send, such as content for your site, account logins you share with us, and billing details needed to send invoices.

When you visit the site, our hosting provider automatically processes standard technical data, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you request. This is used to deliver the site, keep it secure, and fix errors.

CodeKarma does not use advertising cookies, analytics trackers, or tracking pixels on this site.

3. How we use it

• To reply to your inquiry and prepare a proposal
• To deliver, support, and bill for the services you hire us for
• To keep the website secure and working
• To meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations

CodeKarma does not sell your personal information, and does not share it for advertising.

4. Service providers

CodeKarma uses a small number of providers to run the business. Each handles only the data it needs:

• Vercel hosts this website and processes request logs.
• Resend delivers contact form messages to our inbox. Form submissions are sent as email and are not stored in a database on this site.
• Google (Gmail) stores email correspondence.
• Sanity manages the website's content. Your contact form details are not stored there.
• A payment or invoicing provider processes payments when you pay an invoice.

5. Cookies

This site does not set tracking or advertising cookies. A strictly necessary cookie is used only when CodeKarma's own editors preview unpublished content. Visitors do not receive it.

6. How long we keep information

Inquiries are kept as long as needed to reply and follow up, and for a reasonable time after as a business record. Client records, including invoices and agreements, are kept as long as tax and accounting rules require. You can ask us to delete your information sooner where the law allows.

7. Your choices and rights

You can ask to see, correct, or delete the personal information CodeKarma holds about you, or ask us to stop contacting you. Depending on where you live, for example in California or another US state with a privacy law, you may have additional rights. CodeKarma will not treat you differently for using them. Email business.shehjad@gmail.com and we will respond within the time the law requires.

8. Health information

Please do not send health, clinical, or other sensitive personal details through our contact form or by email. For therapy and healthcare clients, CodeKarma builds marketing websites and does not access the practice's client records. Clinical intake, scheduling, and client messages should stay in the practice's own HIPAA-compliant tools.

9. Websites we build for clients

Each client is responsible for the privacy practices of their own website and for having their own privacy policy. CodeKarma can help draft a starting point, but it is not legal advice.

10. Security

CodeKarma uses reasonable safeguards, such as encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and reputable providers, to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

11. Children

This site is not directed to children under 13, and CodeKarma does not knowingly collect their personal information.

12. Where data is processed

CodeKarma is based in the United States, and its providers may process data in the United States and other countries.

13. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date at the top will change too. Significant changes will be noted on this page.

14. Contact
