Last updated: September 22, 2026

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Bergquist Applications (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit https://bergquistapplications.com (the “Site”) or engage our website development and consulting services (the “Services”).

If you have questions, contact us at abergquist96@gmail.com.

Information We Collect

We collect information in three main ways:

• Information you provide: name, email, phone number, company details, project requirements, messages, and any files or content you submit through forms, email, or other communication channels.

• Information collected automatically: basic usage data such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, approximate location (city/state), referring pages, and timestamps. This is typically collected via standard server logs and analytics.

• Client / project data: if you hire us, you may share credentials, source code, design assets, content, and business data needed to deliver the Services. We treat client project data as confidential.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Respond to inquiries and communicate with you.

• Provide, operate, and improve the Site and Services (including debugging and performance monitoring).

• Prepare proposals, statements of work, invoices, and project deliverables.

• Protect against fraud, abuse, and security incidents.

• Comply with legal obligations.

Cookies and Analytics

We may use cookies or similar technologies to maintain site functionality and understand usage trends. You can typically control cookies through your browser settings.

If we use third-party analytics, those providers may set cookies and process usage data under their own privacy policies. We configure analytics, where possible, to reduce data collection to what’s necessary.

Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: vendors that help us operate (hosting, email, analytics, billing), under appropriate confidentiality and data-protection terms.

• Legal requirements: if required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.

• Business protection: to investigate or prevent fraud, abuse, or security issues.

Client Confidentiality

Client information, credentials, source code, and project materials are treated as confidential and used only to provide the Services. We recommend using least-privilege access and separate credentials for contractors whenever possible.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including maintaining business records, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements. Client project data is retained according to the needs of the engagement and any applicable contractual terms.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices

You may request access, correction, or deletion of personal information we hold about you, subject to legal and contractual limitations. You can also opt out of non-essential cookies via your browser settings.

Children’s Privacy

The Site and Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Review their policies before providing information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date reflects the most recent revision.
