Privacy Policy

Who I am

This website is run by Marc Alzamora, an independent software developer based in Australia. I am responsible for the personal information described in this policy.

For any privacy question or request, email marc@marcalzamora.com.

What I collect

Information you send me: when you use a contact or enquiry form, I receive your name, email address and message. The dive center form also sends your center's name and the area you are interested in. If you contact me by email or WhatsApp, I receive whatever you choose to share there.

Technical information: when you visit the site, my hosting provider processes technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. This is needed to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.

Bot protection: the forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a real person is sending them. Turnstile processes signals from your browser and device for that purpose only.

I do not use analytics, advertising trackers or social media pixels, and I never sell or rent your personal information.

Why I use it

To reply to your enquiry, prepare a proposal and, if we work together, deliver and invoice the services you ask for.

To keep the website and forms secure and to prevent spam and abuse.

To meet legal, tax and accounting obligations for client work.

Where the GDPR or similar laws apply, I rely on taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, on performing that contract, on my legitimate interest in running a secure website, and on legal obligations.

Who I share it with

I only share personal information with service providers that help me run this website, and only as far as they need it:

Cloudflare (website hosting, security and Turnstile bot protection) and Resend (delivering form messages to my inbox).

These providers may process data in Australia, the United States, the European Union or other countries. Where the law requires it, transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

I may also disclose information if required by law or to protect my legal rights.

How long I keep it

Enquiries that do not lead to a project are kept for up to 24 months so I can follow up on the conversation, then deleted.

Client records and invoices are kept for as long as tax and accounting laws require.

Technical logs are kept by my hosting provider for a short period in line with its own policies.

Cookies

This website does not set cookies for analytics or advertising. Cloudflare may use strictly necessary technologies to protect the site and to run Turnstile verification.

Links to other websites, including client projects and WhatsApp, are governed by those websites' own privacy policies.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct or delete the personal information I hold about you, or object to how I use it. Where the GDPR applies, you can also ask me to restrict processing or to send you your data in a portable format.

Email marc@marcalzamora.com and I will reply within 30 days. I may need to confirm your identity first.

If you are not satisfied with my response, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au) or, if you are in the EU or UK, to your local data protection authority.

Security

I use reputable providers, encrypted connections (HTTPS) and access controls to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but I take reasonable steps to protect what you share with me.

Software I build for clients

When I build or maintain software that handles your own customers' data, you remain responsible for that data and I process it only on your instructions, as set out in our project agreement.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
