Privacy policy
Draft: pending legal review.
Last updated November 10, 2026.
This policy covers valobuilds.com and the work Valo Digital does for clients. Valo Digital is a solo software studio run by Leo Roberto in Virginia, United States. Questions go toleo@valobuilds.com.
What this site collects
- What you send through a form. The project form on Start a project asks for your name, email address, company, website (optional), what you need, your industry, your budget, when you want to start, and a description. The partner form on Agencies asks for your name, email address, agency name and website, team size, the services you sell, and the client requests you turn down. Both also record which page on this site you came from, and the project form records a partner's referral code if your link had one.
- What you send by email. If you email me, I receive your email address and whatever you include.
- A scrambled code made from your network address, for one day. To stop the forms from being flooded, the site counts submissions from each connection (up to 5 an hour). It stores only a one-way code made from your network address and a secret value (a salted hash), never the address itself, and deletes it after a day.
- Technical details of each visit. The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes the network address your device connects from and your browser details to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.
- Visit counts. I use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits and see which pages are read. It does not use cookies and does not follow you to other sites.
The spam check on the forms
The forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a person, not a bot, is sending them. It loads only once you start using a form. To run the check, Cloudflare processes technical details from your browser and device.
Cookies
This site sets no cookies of its own. Cloudflare may set a strictly necessary cookie that helps tell people from bots.
How I use what I receive
- To reply to you and to scope, quote, and deliver work you ask for.
- To decide the next step to show you after a form. Fixed rules sort each project by budget, timeline, and fit, and give it a score that only I see. No AI model reads your form for this.
- To send you one confirmation email after a form, and to send me a copy of what you sent.
- To keep the site running and secure.
I don't sell your information, use it for advertising, or share it with anyone except the services below.
Services that handle it
- Cloudflare: hosting, security, the form spam check (Turnstile), and visit counts.
- Supabase: the database that stores what you send through a form.
- Resend: sends the confirmation email to you and the copy to me.
- Microsoft 365: email for leo@valobuilds.com.
Client documents
For document pipeline projects, your documents stay in an environment you control and are never used to train models.
How long I keep it
- Form submissions and email: as long as they're needed to work with you and to keep business records.
- The scrambled code made from your network address: one day.
Ask me to delete what I have any time, and I will, unless I'm required to keep it.
Your choices
Email leo@valobuilds.com to see what I have about you, correct it, or ask me to delete it.
Children
This site is for businesses and is not directed at children under 13.
