Privacy policy

Who processes your data

Juan Peña, founder of Valto Digital, a software company based in the Dominican Republic, is responsible for your data. For anything related to it, write to valtodigitalrd@gmail.com or to WhatsApp +1 809 512 7123.

Data you give us

The contact form asks for three things: your name, your email and what you need. If you like, you can add a fourth, your WhatsApp number, so we can reply there; it is optional. When you send it, we email a confirmation to your email address.

That content is emailed to our inbox through Resend, the service that delivers the message, and is kept for as long as the conversation lasts and as long as needed to handle a later claim. It is never sold or shared, and it is not used to send you marketing you did not ask for.

The site check on the home page

When you enter an address in the site check, our server visits up to four pages of that site, the way a browser would, and shows you what it found.

We keep the checked address, the date, the pages that were read and the findings for 90 days, to understand how the tool is used and improve it. We do not store who ran the check or your IP address. It is stored in Upstash, a database service.

Usage limits

To prevent abuse, the contact form and the site check count how many times they are used from the same connection. For that we store in Upstash a digest of your IP address that cannot be turned back into it, and that is deleted automatically after one day at most.

Data collected automatically

If you accept analytics, the site loads these tools:

• Google Analytics 4: page views, traffic source and approximate device data. Processed by Google.
• Microsoft Clarity: anonymously records how the page is used (movement, clicks and scrolling) to find confusing parts. Processed by Microsoft.
• Meta Pixel: measures which visits come from Instagram and Facebook ads. Processed by Meta.

If you decline

None of those three tools load: the site does not even request their files. The only thing stored is our own cookie with your choice, so we do not ask again for six months.

The site works exactly the same with or without analytics.

Changing your mind

This button clears your choice and brings the notice back so you can decide again. Withdrawing permission takes exactly what giving it took: one click.

Where the site is hosted

The site is hosted on Vercel, which logs technical request data, such as IP address and browser type, to serve pages and protect them from abuse. That is an operational log, not marketing.

Vercel also gives us two aggregate statistics: how many visits each page gets (Web Analytics) and how fast it loads on visitors’ devices (Speed Insights). They load even if you decline the notice because they use no cookies and store nothing in your browser: to avoid counting the same visit twice, Vercel uses a digest of the request that it discards after 24 hours. We only see totals, never an individual person.

The site shows you the version for your country. To know which one, it uses the country detected by Vercel, the company that hosts it, based on the IP address. If you are in the Dominican Republic, Panama or the United States, you see the version for your country, and if you open a page meant for another country, the site takes you to the same page in yours or, if there is none, to its home page. On the blog and the other shared pages, you see the English version if you are in the United States and the Spanish one if you are in the Dominican Republic or Panama, when that version exists. From any other country you can browse the whole site freely.

Nothing is stored and no cookie is set for this. The two cookies we used before for the country version, one from an old redirect and one from a notice that suggested your version, are no longer created and, if you still have either, it is deleted on your next visit.

Links to other sites

The WhatsApp and Instagram buttons and the project links lead to third-party sites with their own policies. Once you leave valtodigitalrd.com, this policy no longer applies.

Your rights

You can ask for access to the data we hold about you, for corrections or for deletion. Write to valtodigitalrd@gmail.com and we answer within a reasonable time, usually a few days.

In the Dominican Republic the applicable framework is Law 172-13 on personal data protection. If you write from Europe or from a US state with its own privacy law, we handle access and deletion requests all the same.

Minors

This site is aimed at businesses and adults. We do not ask for and do not want data from minors.

Changes

If the tools the site uses change, this page is updated and the date above changes with it.
