Data handling
The purpose is direct reply and form protection, not newsletter growth or list sharing.
When you submit a project note, the form collects the name, email, store URL or brand, current stack, main problem, budget range, timeline, monthly revenue band, Shopify Plus status, help type, design status, product count, needed features, message, source path, and source kind needed to understand the inquiry and reply to it.
Inquiry data is used only to respond to the specific project request, understand where the request came from on the site, and protect the form from abuse. It is not used for newsletters or list sharing.
The form uses origin checks, rate limiting, a honeypot field, IP-based security checks, and Cloudflare Turnstile when configured. These signals help reduce spam and automated submissions.
Lead submissions are stored in Supabase when the backend is configured. The site runs on Vercel and may use Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights. Google Analytics loads only when a real measurement ID is configured.
Analytics may measure page views, performance, CTA clicks, lead form status, blog views, and blog reading depth. The site code prevents placeholder Google Analytics IDs from loading.
You can avoid the form and contact through LinkedIn or Upwork instead. You can also manage browser-level cookie and tracking settings from your browser.
