Technikole Consulting Privacy Policy

  At Technikole Consulting, and all of our sister organizations and partnerships, we consider privacy to be paramount. As innovators, participants and contributors to the Metaverse and Web3 ecosystems we embrace the power of the blockchain and its abilities to provide transparency, immutability, expediency and empowerment both publicly and privately (for personal use). This privacy policy explains the types of personal and non personal information we gather and how we utilize it.

 When you visit our website or complete a form on our site, we may collect information such as your name, email address, and phone number. At the time of completion, you have the opportunity to cancel, abort or opt out of communications.  As a result of the interoperability between Web2 and Web3 data may also gather data about your browsing behavior, like the pages you view and the links you click on in order to improve our page, your experience or our services.

We utilize Web3 tools where possible. As a consequence, transaction details might be public and remain forever accessible on the blockchain. However, it’s important to understand that we do not control or own the data stored on the blockchain.

Our website(s) (may) use WordPress, which may utilize cookies to enhance user experience and track analytics. These cookies may collect information about your browsing behavior for website optimization purposes. By using our website, you consent to the use of such cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.

We understand how important privacy is to our users, and we believe it is vital for you to know how search engines work. Third party Search engines such as Google and Bing are independent data controllers. These platforms use web crawlers, also known as spiders or bots, to collect data from millions of websites, including ours. Artificial Intelligence has been developed utilizing algorithms such as this.

This data collection process is somewhat necessary for search engines to analyze the content of websites, index it, and then produce relevant search results. This is completed as standard practice. The data they collect from our website may include publicly visible information such as website metadata, public posts, and other content.

Please note that we don’t (yet) have control over how these third-party search engines gather, use, or disclose your information. The information they collect isn’t governed by this Privacy Policy. We strongly recommend you review their privacy policies to better understand their practices and the control you have over your information on their platforms.

 We utilize the information we collect to provide you with the requested services and enhance our website and offerings. Your data might be used to contact you with promotional offers and updates about our business. Your data will be used to provide you with selected services and recommendations. We may use your information as it pertains to our services to improve our services. We may also share your information as it pertains to networking if you’ve opted into to networking services. We will not ever sell your information to any party.

The security of your personal information is of utmost importance to us. We implement appropriate measures to protect it. No company anywhere can provide you with 100% surety of your information, we work to ensure that due diligence is cared for with regard to our information and processes which includes elements shared with us.

 We may periodically update this privacy policy. If we make any changes, we will inform you by posting the updated policy on our website.
