Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how NavyByte (“we”, “us”) collects, uses and protects information when you use this website. By accessing or using the site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
We collect information in three main ways:
- Information you provide directly — for example, when you contact us, subscribe to a newsletter or submit a form, you may provide your name, email address and any other details you choose to include.
- Usage and analytics data — we may collect anonymised or pseudonymised data about how visitors use the site, such as pages viewed, time spent on each page and general interaction patterns.
- Technical data — your IP address, browser type, device information and similar technical details may be collected automatically for security, analytics and site performance.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain and improve the website.
- Understand which content is useful and how visitors interact with the site.
- Respond to questions and messages sent through contact forms.
- Send email updates if you have opted in to receive them.
- Protect the site against abuse, spam and security threats.
We do not sell your personal data.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic and understand how the site is used. Depending on your location, you may see a banner or notice that allows you to manage certain cookie settings.
You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how the site functions.
Email and Newsletter
If you subscribe to a NavyByte newsletter or email list, we will store your email address and any additional information you choose to provide for the purpose of sending you updates. You can unsubscribe at any time by using the link included in each email.
Our email service provider may collect additional data for deliverability and analytics (for example, open rates and link clicks). That processing is governed by the provider’s own privacy policy.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party providers to host the website, deliver email, provide analytics or serve advertising. These providers may process data on our behalf and have access only to the information reasonably necessary to perform their functions.
Where third-party tools are used, their privacy policies may also apply. We aim to work with reputable providers that respect user privacy.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Usage and analytics data may be retained in aggregate or anonymised form for longer.
Your Rights
Your rights may vary depending on your jurisdiction, but they may include the right to access, correct or delete your personal data and the right to object to certain types of processing.
If you wish to exercise any of these rights in relation to data held by NavyByte, please contact us using the details on the Contact page. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the site and the information we hold from unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top or bottom of the page. Continued use of the site after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
