Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2025

Distributed Technologies ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit distributedtech.org.

Information We Collect

Contact Form Submissions

When you submit a contact form on our site, we collect the information you provide: your name, email address, phone number (optional), and message. If you submit as an organization, we may also collect your organization name and size. This data is stored securely using Cloudflare D1 and is used solely to respond to your inquiry and provide the services you request.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our site. Google Analytics collects anonymized usage data including pages visited, time spent on pages, referral sources, and general geographic region. This data helps us improve our content and user experience. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Cookies

Our site uses minimal cookies. We store a theme preference cookie (light or dark mode) locally in your browser using localStorage. Google Analytics may set cookies as described in Google's Privacy Policy.

How We Use Your Information

  • To respond to your contact form submissions and provide requested services
  • To understand site usage and improve our content
  • To communicate with you about our services when you've requested information

Data Storage & Security

Contact form data is stored on Cloudflare's infrastructure using their D1 database service. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. We retain form submissions only as long as necessary to fulfill your request and maintain our business records.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

Affiliate Links

Some pages on our site, particularly our Recommended Tools page and certain blog posts, contain affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links are always clearly disclosed on pages where they appear. Our recommendations are based on our genuine professional evaluation — we only recommend tools we've personally vetted and would use ourselves.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. We do not share your contact form submissions with anyone outside of Distributed Technologies. The only third-party access to your data is through the infrastructure services listed above, which process data on our behalf under their respective privacy policies.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion of your personal data
  • Opt out of Google Analytics tracking
  • Withdraw consent for communications at any time
