Contact form (optional): If you choose to send us a message, we collect the name, email address, and message content you provide. This is the only personal data we actively collect.
Standard server logs: Like most websites, our hosting provider may log technical data such as IP addresses and browser user-agent strings for security and diagnostic purposes. We do not use these logs to identify or track individual users.
What we do not collect:
Cookies: KASTLR itself does not set any non-essential cookies. If you click a link that takes you to an external site, that site’s own cookie and privacy policies apply.
Information submitted via the contact form is used solely to:
We do not use your email for marketing lists, newsletters, or any other purpose without your explicit consent. We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for commercial purposes.
Contact form submissions are processed securely and stored only as long as needed to handle your enquiry. All data is transmitted over HTTPS/TLS. We apply reasonable technical and organisational security measures appropriate for a small professional services business.
We do not store passwords because we do not operate user accounts.
We may use reputable third-party providers for hosting, email delivery, and basic infrastructure. These providers process data only as necessary to deliver their services and are bound by their own privacy policies. We do not share personal data with them beyond what is required to operate the website and respond to enquiries.

Contact form messages are retained only for as long as necessary to respond to and resolve your enquiry. You may request deletion of your data at any time by emailing info@kastlr.com.
Our website and services are directed at businesses and adult professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you believe a child has submitted data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
