At Tessellate, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and handle your personal information when you visit our website or use our services. We are committed to transparency and want you to understand exactly what data we collect and why.

Information We Collect

Personal Information You Provide

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you interact with our website or services. This may include your name, email address, phone number, company name, job title, and any other information you choose to share when you contact us, fill out a form, or request our services. The information you provide helps us respond to your inquiries and deliver the services you request.

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain technical information about your device and browsing behavior. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and access times. This information is collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies, which you can learn more about in our Cookie Policy.

Analytics and Usage Data

We use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us identify which content is most valuable, where users encounter difficulties, and how we can improve the overall experience. Analytics data is typically aggregated and does not identify you personally, though it may include information about your browsing patterns and device characteristics.

Legal Basis for Processing

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we process your personal data based on one or more of the following legal grounds: your explicit consent for specific processing activities, the necessity to fulfill a contract with you or take steps before entering into a contract, compliance with legal obligations to which we are subject, protection of your vital interests or those of another person, performance of tasks in the public interest, or our legitimate interests in operating and improving our business, provided such interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.

How We Use Your Information

Service Delivery and Communication

We use your contact information to respond to your inquiries, provide the services you request, send you important updates about our services, and communicate with you about your account or projects. This includes sending confirmation emails, project updates, invoices, and other transactional communications necessary to fulfill our obligations to you.

Website Improvement and Analytics

We analyze how visitors use our website to identify areas for improvement, understand which content resonates most with our audience, optimize the user experience, and make data-driven decisions about our digital presence. This helps us create a better, more useful website for everyone who visits.

Marketing and Business Development

With your consent, we may use your information to send you marketing communications about our services, industry insights, case studies, and other content we believe may interest you. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time through the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us directly.

Legal Compliance and Protection

We process your data when necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect our legal rights, prevent fraud or abuse, ensure the security of our website and services, and respond to lawful requests from authorities. This may include sharing information when required by law or to protect the rights and safety of Tessellate, our users, or others.

How We Protect Your Data

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security practices are designed to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data.

Security Measures

We use industry-standard encryption protocols to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers. Our systems are regularly updated with security patches and monitored for potential vulnerabilities. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel who need it to perform their job functions, and all employees are trained in data protection practices.

Data Storage and Retention

We store your personal information on secure servers located within the European Economic Area (EEA) or with service providers who comply with GDPR requirements. We retain your data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

Data Breach Procedures

In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required by GDPR. We have established procedures to quickly identify, assess, and respond to security incidents.

Your Rights and Choices

Under GDPR and other privacy laws, you have several rights regarding your personal information. We are committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights in a timely and transparent manner.

Right to Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We will provide this information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format where technically feasible.

Right to Rectification

If you believe any information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. We will update your information promptly upon verification.

Right to Erasure

You can request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, you withdraw consent, or you object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds.

Right to Data Portability

Where technically feasible, you have the right to receive your personal data in a portable format and to transmit it to another controller without hindrance from us.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. If you object to marketing, we will cease such processing immediately.
