Privacy Policy

1. Information You Choose to Share

You can browse most of Building With Intent without providing personal information.

If you use the Contact form, you may provide:

• Name
• Email address
• Company / Organisation, if you choose to provide it
• Message

Name, email address and message are required to submit the Contact form. Company / Organisation is optional.

If you choose to request a Free Consultation, you will be taken to an external Google Form. The information collected there is determined by the questions currently included in that form.

Please avoid sharing information that you do not want to be used for the purpose of responding to your enquiry or consultation request.

2. How We Use Information

Information you provide through the website may be used to:

• Respond to your enquiry.
• Continue a conversation you have initiated.
• Understand the context of your message.
• Respond to a request for information or a consultation.
• Prepare for a consultation when you have chosen to provide relevant context.

We do not use the information submitted through the Contact form to make automated decisions about you.

Information collected through Google Analytics 4 is used to understand how the website is used.

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

3. Contact Form and Email Delivery

The Contact form uses a server-side submission process.

When you submit the form, the information you provide is processed so that your message can be delivered to the configured contact email address.

The website uses Resend for transactional email delivery. Your email address is also used as the reply-to address so that a response can be sent to you.

Resend may process information as necessary to provide its email delivery service.

4. Free Consultation Form

The Free Consultation experience opens an external Google Form.

The Google Form is operated through Google's services rather than being embedded within the Building With Intent website.

Information you submit through that form is processed through Google Forms and may be subject to Google's own privacy practices and policies.

The consultation form may evolve independently from this website. The questions and information collected through it are determined by the current version of that external form.

5. Information Collected Automatically

The website may process limited technical information that is necessary to operate, secure, maintain and deliver the website.

This may include information such as browser, device, network or request information where such information is made available through the website's hosting, security or infrastructure services.

The website is hosted and deployed on Vercel. Vercel may process limited technical information as necessary to operate, secure, maintain and deliver the website.

The website uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how the website is used. This measurement may include page views and a small number of intentional interaction events, such as contact, consultation, LinkedIn, case study and article actions.

Google Analytics may process information such as device or browser information and approximate location, as provided through Google's service.

Building With Intent does not use Google Analytics for advertising profiling or behavioural targeting on this website.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website uses Google Analytics 4 for website measurement. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar storage, including Google Analytics cookies, to distinguish visits and understand how the website is used.

The website may still rely on cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for the website to function, or that are set by a visitor's browser or underlying infrastructure.

You can use your browser controls to block or delete cookies, and you can use Google's published opt-out mechanisms for Google Analytics.

7. Third-Party Services and External Websites

Some website experiences rely on external services.

These currently include:

• Vercel, for website hosting and deployment.
• Google Analytics, for website measurement.
• Resend, for transactional delivery of Contact form messages.
• Google Forms, for the external Free Consultation form.
• LinkedIn, where you choose to follow the LinkedIn link.
• Portfolio Magazine, where you choose to follow the external portfolio link.

When you follow an external link, you leave the Building With Intent website and become subject to the destination service's own terms and privacy practices.

Google is a third-party analytics provider. Visitors are subject to Google's privacy practices for information processed through Google Analytics.

Building With Intent does not control how external websites collect or use information.

8. How Information Is Shared

Information submitted through Building With Intent may be shared with service providers where necessary to provide the functionality you have requested.

For example, Contact form information is processed through Resend so that the message can be delivered. Website measurement information is processed through Google Analytics.

We do not sell or rent personal information.

Information may also be disclosed where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, protect rights or safety, or respond to a lawful request.

9. How Long Information Is Kept

Contact information and messages are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to enquiries, manage the resulting relationship or engagement, maintain appropriate business records, and meet applicable legal or administrative obligations.

Contact messages are received through email, while Free Consultation responses are stored through the Google Form's associated response system.

Measurement data processed through Google Analytics is handled according to the applicable Google Analytics settings and Google's documentation.

10. Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect information submitted through the website.

The Contact form uses a server-side submission process, and credentials used to communicate with Resend are kept server-side rather than exposed to visitors.

No method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so this policy does not make an absolute security guarantee.

11. Your Choices and Requests

You can choose not to provide personal information, although some website experiences may not work without the information they require.

You can use browser controls to limit cookies or similar storage, and you can use Google's published opt-out mechanisms for Google Analytics.

If you have submitted information through the website and would like to ask a question about it, request access to it, ask for a correction, or request deletion where applicable, you can contact:

dinesh.mdes@gmail.com

Requests will be handled in accordance with applicable law.

The specific rights available to you may depend on where you are located and the laws that apply to the processing of your information.

12. Children's Privacy

Building With Intent is a professional consulting and editorial platform and is not directed at children.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through the website.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that the situation can be reviewed and appropriate action can be taken.

13. International Visitors

Building With Intent is intended for a global audience.

Depending on where you are located and where our service providers operate, information submitted through the website may be processed in countries other than your own.

14. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website, its services, its data practices, or applicable requirements change.

When the policy is materially updated, the revised version will be published on this page with an updated date.
