We ask for the minimum information needed to scope an engineering engagement, and we do not do anything else with it.
Effective 9 August 2026
This policy covers the Petty Technologies website and the Project Intake Questionnaire on our Contact page. It does not cover work performed under an executed engagement — that is governed by the mutual non-disclosure agreement and scope of work signed before any project begins.
The Project Intake Questionnaire asks for your name, work email address, company or organization, the engineering discipline you need, your current operational environment, a description of your project, and its urgency. All of it is provided voluntarily by you. We collect nothing from that form that you do not type into it.
Our hosting provider keeps standard web server logs — IP address, browser user agent, requested pages, and timestamps. These exist for security and diagnostics. WordPress and the form plugin may set functional cookies required for the site and form to operate correctly. We do not run advertising trackers, behavioural analytics, or third-party marketing pixels.
This site loads typefaces from Google Fonts and icons from the cdnjs content delivery network. When your browser fetches those files, your IP address and user agent are visible to those providers under their own privacy terms. We state this plainly because it is true of most websites and rarely disclosed. We intend to self-host both, which will remove the third-party request entirely.
Information you submit is used for one purpose: to respond to your inquiry and scope a possible engagement. Concretely, that means reading it, replying to you, and retaining it as an ordinary business record of the conversation.
We do not sell it. We do not rent, trade, or share it with data brokers, advertisers, or marketing platforms. We do not add you to a mailing list because you filled in a project form.
The intake form is a public web form. It is not a secure channel and it is not covered by an NDA. Do not submit classified material, controlled unclassified information, network diagrams, credentials, addresses of production equipment, or vulnerability detail through it. Describe your environment in general terms. Specifics belong in a conversation that happens after a mutual NDA is executed — that is Phase One of our engagement protocol, and it exists for exactly this reason.
Inquiries are retained while the conversation is active, and afterwards as a business record. If you would like your inquiry and contact details deleted, email us and we will remove them, subject to any records we are legally required to keep.
The site is served over HTTPS, and form submissions are transmitted over an authenticated, encrypted mail connection. Access to inquiries is limited to personnel who need it in order to respond. No internet-facing system is absolutely secure, and we will not claim otherwise — which is why section 4 exists.
You may ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. You may object to our use of it. Depending on where you live, these rights may be backed by law — including the GDPR in the European Economic Area and the UK, and the CCPA/CPRA in California. We extend them to everyone who asks, regardless of jurisdiction, because that is simpler and fairer than checking first.
To exercise any of these, email gregory.petty@pettytechnologies.com. We aim to respond within 30 days.
This site provides business-to-business engineering services and is not directed at anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
If this policy changes materially, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We will not quietly broaden what we collect and leave the date untouched.
Questions about this policy, or about data we hold, go to gregory.petty@pettytechnologies.com.
