This notice explains how we handle information when you visit our website, ask about a project, work with us, or receive a business email from us.
1. Who this notice covers
MEISTERSTECH is the business operating meisterstech.us and offering the website services described on it. In this notice, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to that business. Questions and privacy requests can be sent to hello@meisterstech.by.
This notice covers our own website and business communications. If we develop a website for a client, the handling of information on that client's website is addressed separately in the project arrangements and the client's own notices.
2. Information we receive
Project inquiries and correspondence. We receive the name, email address, business details, project brief, and other information you choose to send. If you contact us through a linked professional or social platform, we also receive the profile information and messages available through that channel.
Business contacts. For relevant business outreach, we may use professional contact details, a person's business role, and information about their company. These details may come from information you share with us, previous business correspondence, or publicly available professional sources such as company websites. An inquiry does not enroll you in a newsletter.
Project administration. If we work together, we receive the contact, agreement, and billing details needed to manage the project. This website does not accept online payments or collect payment card details.
Technical information. When a page is requested, our web server logs the IP address, date and time, requested address, response code, referring page, and browser details (user agent). These logs are used to operate and protect the website and to produce aggregate visit statistics, and they are deleted automatically after no more than 15 days. IP addresses are truncated in the statistics.
Analytics, with your permission. If you allow analytics, Yandex Metrica collects information about your visit as described in section 7. Without your permission, this information is not collected.
3. How the inquiry form works
When you submit the form, your browser sends the name, email address, and project details you entered over an encrypted connection to our web server, which forwards them to our team as a message in the Telegram messenger. The server does not keep the form contents or write them to its logs. The form asks for your agreement to this delivery before sending. If automatic delivery is unavailable, the form instead prepares an email draft that you can review and send through your own email app; in that case we receive the inquiry only when you send the message. Along with your inquiry, the form sends the website that referred you (for example, Google search), any campaign tags in the link you followed (UTM parameters), and the first page you opened on our site, so we can see which channels bring inquiries. The page keeps this information only until you close the browser tab (session storage) and sends it only with your inquiry.
The website does not save the form fields in cookies or persistent browser storage. Your browser or email app may save information according to its own settings. If you choose “Copy inquiry,” the draft is copied to your device's clipboard.
Please send only what is needed to discuss the project. Social Security numbers, card details, passwords, health information, and other sensitive personal information are not needed for an initial inquiry.
4. How we use information
- Respond to questions and discuss the scope, schedule, and cost of a project.
- Prepare proposals, provide agreed services, administer a project, and maintain related business records.
- Send relevant business communications about our services and record email preferences.
- Operate and protect the website, investigate technical issues, and prevent misuse.
- Handle privacy requests and meet applicable legal obligations.
We do not use an inquiry as permission to publish your name, project materials, or testimonial. Any such use is agreed separately.
5. Service providers and other disclosures
Information may be handled by providers that support website hosting, email delivery, business communications, project administration, and security. Access is limited to what is needed for the relevant service, with appropriate contractual or other safeguards where required. The website runs on a rented server in Germany, and inquiries sent through the form are delivered to us through Telegram (Telegram FZ-LLC, United Arab Emirates), which stores messages on servers in several countries. If you allow analytics, information about your visit is processed by Yandex LLC (Russian Federation), which provides Yandex Metrica (section 7).
We may disclose information when required by law, to respond to a valid legal request, to protect rights or security, or as part of a business transfer subject to applicable safeguards. We do not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or use this website for targeted advertising.
Links to messaging platforms and other websites take you to services with their own privacy practices. Those providers handle information under their own notices. Their involvement does not remove our responsibilities for information we receive.
6. Email outreach and your preferences
If you receive a marketing email from us, you can stop future marketing messages by replying “Unsubscribe” or using the opt-out method in that email. You can also email hello@meisterstech.by with “Unsubscribe” in the subject line. Please identify the email address that should no longer be contacted.
We honor marketing opt-out requests within 10 business days. There is no fee, account requirement, or need to provide information beyond the email address. We do not sell or transfer an opted-out address except to a provider helping us honor the request as permitted by law.
We keep the minimum information needed to avoid contacting you again. Necessary messages about an active project, billing, or a request you make may continue. A marketing opt-out does not prevent you from asking us about a new project.
7. Cookies, analytics, and browser signals
With your permission, the website uses Yandex Metrica, a web analytics service provided by Yandex LLC (16 Lva Tolstogo St., Moscow 119021, Russian Federation). On your first visit, a notice asks you to Allow or Decline. Until you choose Allow, the Metrica tag is not loaded and sets no cookies.
We use it to understand how visitors use the site (which pages are viewed, where visitors come from, and where they run into trouble) so we can improve it. Metrica collects an identifier stored in its cookies (_ym_uid, _ym_d, and other cookies starting with _ym); your IP address and the approximate location derived from it; device, operating system, browser, language, and screen details; the pages you view, the referring page, and campaign tags in links; the date, time, and length of the visit; and clicks, scrolling, and pointer movements, including session replay. What you type into the inquiry form is excluded from session replay.
Yandex processes this information on its servers, including in Russia, under the Yandex Metrica Terms of Use and the Yandex Privacy Policy. We use the reports and replays only to improve the website. We do not use them for advertising or to identify individual visitors, and we do not sell this information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Your choice lasts one year, after which the site asks again. You can change it at any time with the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page: choosing Decline stops the tag from loading and deletes its cookies on this site. Declining does not limit your use of the site. Metrica cookies expire within a year, and your choice is stored only in your browser (localStorage).
We treat a Global Privacy Control signal as a decline: the notice is not shown and Metrica is not loaded. We do not change the site's behavior based on a Do Not Track signal.
Separately, visit statistics are calculated on our own server from the technical logs described above, in aggregate form, without cookies. The website does not use advertising pixels or third-party advertising embeds.
8. Retention, security, and international handling
Project inquiry correspondence is kept while the discussion is active and only as long as it is needed afterward, with a maximum of six months from the last message when no project results and no other retention need applies. Agreement, billing, and completed-project records are kept for the period needed for the relationship and applicable recordkeeping or legal requirements.
Business outreach details are kept only while needed for relevant communications. An opt-out record may be kept longer, in limited form, so we can continue honoring your choice. Information related to a dispute or legal preservation requirement may need to be kept for that purpose.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the information and the services involved. Access is limited to people and providers who need it for their work. No website, communication method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
We work remotely. Information may be handled by our team or providers outside your state or outside the United States, where legal protections may differ. We use safeguards required by applicable law and provide additional information or obtain consent where required. This notice does not represent that our business or systems are based in the United States.
9. Privacy requests and state-law rights
You can ask us to review, correct, or delete information you have provided by writing to hello@meisterstech.by. Tell us what you need and the contact information associated with the request. We may ask for proportionate information to verify identity or authority; please do not send identity documents unless we explain why they are needed.
Depending on your location, the applicable law, and whether it covers our activities, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information; opt out of certain processing; use an authorized agent; or appeal a decision. We respond within the deadlines required by applicable law and explain any applicable exception. We do not discriminate against a person for exercising a protected privacy right.
If an appeal right applies, reply to our decision or email us with “Privacy appeal” in the subject line. This notice does not assume that every state privacy law applies to every business. Nothing here limits rights or complaints available under applicable law.
10. Children and updates to this notice
Our services are intended for business users. The website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
We publish changes to this notice on this page. If a change materially affects information we already hold, we provide additional notice or obtain consent when required. Questions about the current notice or its publication history can be sent to hello@meisterstech.by.
