Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Obsyde ("we", "us", "our") is a Digital Intelligence company registered in the United Kingdom. We specialise in cybersecurity, OSINT, digital forensics, and threat intelligence.

For any privacy-related queries, contact us at privacy@obsyde.com.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Contact Form

When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, subject, and message. This data is stored securely and used solely to respond to your enquiry.

2.2 Analytics & Cookies

To understand how visitors use our site, we collect analytics for all visitors, using both our own first-party analytics system and Google Analytics. We collect:

• Pages visited and time spent
• Scroll depth and navigation paths
• Browser type, operating system, and screen resolution
• Approximate location derived from IP address (country/city level)
• Referring website URL

We store a single first-party cookie (obsyde_vid) to recognise returning visitors; it expires after 1 year. Our analytics are EU-hosted, and we never sell your data or share it with advertisers. We do not display a cookie consent banner — you can prevent these cookies at any time using your browser cookie controls or private-browsing mode, and you can ask us to delete any data we hold about you at any time (see Your Rights below).

2.3 Essential Cookies

Authentication cookies (for dashboard users) are essential for the service to function and cannot be declined. These are HttpOnly, secure, and expire after 7 days.

3. How We Use Your Data

• To respond to contact form enquiries
• To improve our website and services based on aggregated usage data
• To detect and prevent misuse of our services

We do not sell, share, or transfer your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained for up to 2 years. Analytics data is retained in aggregate form indefinitely; visitor-level data is automatically purged after 12 months.

5. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict processing
• Data portability
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@obsyde.com.

6. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (TLS), HttpOnly cookies, secure password hashing, and access controls.

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via a prominent notice on our site.
