Privacy policy
Last updated: 10 November 2026
This policy explains what information Vervum (“Vervum”, “we”, “us”) collects through this website, vervum.app, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We have kept it short because we collect very little.
The short version
- This website uses no cookies, no analytics and no tracking of any kind.
- We do not load anything from third parties: our fonts, images and code are served from our own server.
- If you write to us through the contact form, we use what you send only to reply to you.
- We never sell, rent or share your personal information for advertising.
What we collect
When you contact us. The contact form asks for your name, your email address, optionally your company, the kind of help you need, and your message. This information is delivered to us by email.
When you visit. Like any website, our server automatically records basic technical information about each request, such as the IP address, the date and time, the page requested and the type of browser. We use these logs only to keep the website secure and working, and they are deleted on a rolling basis.
To stop spam. To protect the contact form from abuse, we keep a pseudonymised, one-way scrambled version of your IP address for up to 24 hours, together with the time of your message. It cannot be turned back into your IP address and is used for nothing else.
How we use it and why
We use your enquiry to reply to you and, if you wish, to discuss and prepare a proposal for your project. Where data-protection laws such as the GDPR or the UK GDPR apply, our legal basis is our legitimate interest in answering the people who contact us and, where relevant, taking steps at your request before entering into a contract. We use technical logs on the basis of our legitimate interest in keeping the website secure.
Who else sees it
We rely on a small number of trusted providers to run this website: our hosting provider, which operates the server, and our email provider, which stores the messages you send us. They process data only on our instructions and are required to keep it secure. We do not share your information with anyone else unless the law requires it.
Because we work with clients worldwide, your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards required by applicable law.
How long we keep it
We keep your enquiry for as long as we need it to handle your request and any work that follows, and for no longer than 24 months after our last contact unless we are working together. Anti-spam records are deleted after 24 hours.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, to have it deleted, to object to or restrict how we use it, and to receive a copy of it. You can also complain to your local data-protection authority. We do not sell or “share” personal information as those terms are defined in California law. To exercise any of these rights, write to us through the contact form and we will respond within 30 days.
Security
The website is served only over encrypted connections (HTTPS), and we limit access to the information you send us to the people who need it to reply.
Children
This website is intended for businesses and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle personal information, we will update this page and the date at the top.
