3. SMS/Text Messaging
If you provide a mobile phone number and elect or consent to receive SMS/text notifications through a SolvStack website, application, or client application that we build or support, we may use your number to send transactional or operational messages such as alerts, reminders, status updates, verification messages, or service notifications.

- You may opt out of non-essential SMS messages through the applicable application settings, support process, or by following instructions included in a message. Where supported, reply “STOP” to unsubscribe and “HELP” for help.

We do not sell personal information. We may share information in the following circumstances:
- Service providers: with vendors that provide hosting, analytics, communications, SMS delivery, payment processing, security, monitoring, development, or business operations services.
- Clients and project participants: when needed to perform services, support applications, coordinate project work, or satisfy contractual obligations.
- Third-party integrations: when you or a client directs us to connect software to external platforms, APIs, or services.
- Legal and safety: when required by law, subpoena, court order, regulatory request, or to protect rights, safety, security, and integrity.
- Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate protections.
5. Client Data and Project Data
When we process personal information on behalf of a client, the client may be the controller or business responsible for that data and we may act as a processor or service provider. In those cases, we process the data according to the client’s instructions, applicable agreements, and applicable law. End users of client applications should also review the privacy policy of the organization providing that application.
6. Cookies, Analytics, and Human Verification
Our website or applications may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and analytics tools to remember preferences, understand traffic, improve performance, and protect against abuse. Browser settings may allow you to block or delete cookies, but some features may not work properly without them.
We use Cloudflare Turnstile to protect forms and other website features from bots and malicious activity. Turnstile may operate in the background without displaying an interactive challenge. When you interact with a protected feature, Cloudflare may process technical signals such as your IP address, TLS fingerprint, user-agent header, and the website's Turnstile site key and associated origin to distinguish people from bots and improve its bot-detection capabilities. For more information, review Cloudflare's Turnstile Privacy Addendum.
7. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide services, complete projects, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data, project requirements, client instructions, and applicable law.
8. Security
We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for using strong passwords, limiting access, and following security practices for systems under your control.
9. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on your location and relationship with us, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of personal information. You may also opt out of certain communications. To make a request, contact us at hello@solvstack.dev. We may need to verify your identity and may direct requests about client-controlled data to the relevant client.
10. International Processing
We and our service providers may process information in the United States or other locations where we or they operate. If information is transferred across borders, we will use safeguards required by applicable law where necessary.
11. Children’s Privacy
Our website and services are not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
