Overview
Getweys is a design, engineering and growth studio operating from Austin, Auckland and Karachi. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit our website, contact us, or engage us for work, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.
It applies to getweys.com and to any enquiry, proposal or project conducted through it. Where we build or operate a product for a client, that client is the controller of the data in their product and their own privacy policy governs it — we act on their instructions as a processor.
Information we collect
We collect only what a given interaction requires. Most visitors never give us anything beyond routine technical data.
We do not knowingly collect special category data — health, biometrics, political or religious views, or similar — and we ask that you do not send it to us unless a project specifically requires it and we have agreed how it will be handled.
How we use your information
- To respond to enquiries and prepare proposals, quotes and scopes of work.
- To deliver, support and invoice the services you have engaged us for.
- To communicate about a live project — status, decisions, approvals and handover.
- To operate, secure and improve our website and its content.
- To assess applications for open roles.
- To send occasional updates about our work, where you have asked to receive them.
- To meet legal, tax and accounting obligations, and to establish or defend legal claims.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.
Legal bases for processing
Where the GDPR, the UK GDPR or comparable law applies to you, we rely on the following bases.
- Contract — processing necessary to enter into or perform an agreement with you.
- Legitimate interests — running and securing our website, understanding how it is used, and pursuing enquiries you have initiated, balanced against your rights.
- Consent — for optional marketing communications and non-essential cookies, which you may withdraw at any time.
- Legal obligation — where retention or disclosure is required by tax, accounting or other applicable law.
International transfers
We operate across the United States, New Zealand and Pakistan, and our service providers may be located elsewhere. Personal information may therefore be transferred outside the country in which you live, including to jurisdictions whose data protection laws differ from your own.
Where such a transfer takes place, we put appropriate safeguards in place — typically the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or an equivalent mechanism — so that your information keeps a comparable level of protection.
How long we keep it
We keep personal information only as long as it serves the purpose it was collected for, then delete or anonymise it.
- Enquiries that do not become projects — kept while the conversation is live and for a reasonable period afterwards, in case you return.
- Project and client records — kept for the duration of the engagement and afterwards for the period required by tax, accounting and limitation law.
- Unsuccessful job applications — kept for a limited period so we can contact you about future roles, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
- Website analytics — retained in aggregate form, which does not identify you individually.
Security
We apply technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk: encrypted connections, access limited to the people who need it, credential management, and review of the providers we rely on. Client credentials issued to us are held in managed secret storage and revoked at the end of an engagement.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affecting your personal information occurs, we will notify you and any relevant regulator where the law requires it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights over your personal information.
- Access — ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Rectification — ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Erasure — ask us to delete information where there is no longer a reason for us to keep it.
- Restriction — ask us to limit how we use your information while a concern is resolved.
- Portability — receive certain information in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Objection — object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests.
- Withdraw consent — where we rely on consent, withdraw it at any time without affecting earlier processing.
- Complain — raise the matter with your local data protection authority.
To exercise any of these, email info@getweys.com. We will respond within the period required by applicable law, and may ask you to verify your identity before we act.
Children's privacy
Our website and services are directed at businesses and are not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Third-party links
Our site links to work we have produced and to third-party platforms. Those destinations have their own privacy practices, and this policy does not cover them. We recommend reading the policy of any site you visit from ours.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our services, tooling or legal obligations change. The revision date at the top of this page always reflects the current version, and material changes will be signposted on this page before they take effect.
