Privacy Policy and Cookies

Who we are

This website is run by the sole proprietor “Code Republic” (IIN 000211650667), a studio that develops websites, web services and mobile apps: Astana, Kenesary 8, Monblan business center. Email info@coderep.io, phone +7 705 507 81 82.

This policy explains how we collect, use and protect personal data when you use the website or get in touch with us through it. We act in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Personal Data and Their Protection”.

What data we collect

What you send yourself

A request. In the form we ask for your name, phone and, if you wish, a short message about the project. We also record that you have confirmed your agreement with this policy.
Everything you write to us directly. If you call or write by email, on WhatsApp or on Telegram, we receive your contact details and whatever you decide to tell us.

Please do not send passport data, bank card numbers or other sensitive information through the forms: they are not needed to work on a project.

What is collected automatically

The IP address when a form is submitted. The system stores it together with the request to protect the website from spam and abuse.
Server logs. As on any website, the server records the technical data of a request: the IP address, the type of browser and device, the requested page, the time and the page you came from. They are needed so that the website works reliably and securely.
Counter data. Yandex Metrica and the Google Ads tag receive technical data about a visit: the page address, the source of the visit, the type of browser and device, the approximate location by IP address, the time on the website and actions on the page (clicks, scrolling). Yandex Metrica’s Webvisor records actions on the page (mouse movements, clicks, scrolling) so that we can see where people struggle. The Google Ads tag may pass Google data about a visit in order to add the visitor to an audience for showing ads again (remarketing), and Yandex services may match Metrica data with the identifiers of their advertising services. Please do not enter unnecessary data into the forms.

How we use it

to get in touch with you about a request: call back, write, estimate the cost and timeline;
to correspond and work on a project if we have agreed to cooperate;
to keep the website running and protect it from spam and failures;
to understand which pages are useful to visitors, to evaluate whether our advertising brings requests and to show ads to people who have already visited the website;
to keep records and meet the requirements of the law.

By submitting a form you ask us to reply with a call, a message or an email. We do not send advertising mailings and do not make automated decisions about you.

We do not sell personal data. We share it only with those who help us receive and process enquiries or count the website’s statistics, and only for these purposes:

The hosting provider, on whose servers the website and its database run.
The email service that delivers a request to the studio’s mailbox.
Telegram. The name, phone and message from the form are sent to the studio’s working chat so that we see the request right away. Telegram’s servers may be located outside Kazakhstan.
Analytics and advertising services: Yandex (Yandex Metrica, including Webvisor) and Google (Google Ads). They receive counter data and process it under their own rules; their servers may be located outside Kazakhstan.
Government authorities, when the law requires it.

Cookies and browser storage

The website uses cookies and browser storage. Some of them are needed for it to work, some belong to analytics and advertising services:

A session cookie (winter_session). It keeps pages and forms working securely. It does not identify you, is not used for advertising or analytics and stops being valid after two hours.
Tab storage (sessionStorage). The browser keeps a short service mark so that the page transition animation works correctly. It stays in your browser, is not sent to us and disappears when you close the tab.
Long-term storage (localStorage). If you have closed the cookie notice, the browser remembers the time of closing for 12 months (the key coderep-cookie-notice) so that the notice is not shown again. The record stays in your browser, is not sent to us and can be deleted in the browser settings.
Yandex Metrica (cookies with the prefix _ym_). It counts visitors and visits, remembers the source of a visit and is needed for Webvisor and the click map; the storage period is up to a year.
Google Ads (cookies with the prefix _gcl_ and Google cookies on the domains google.com and doubleclick.net). They are needed to evaluate whether advertising brings requests and WhatsApp messages and for remarketing; _gcl_ lasts up to 90 days, the others are kept under Google’s rules.

Yandex Metrica and the Google Ads tag are loaded from the servers of Yandex and Google after the page has loaded. The website’s fonts, scripts and images are loaded from our server. The exception is YouTube video on the pages of some projects: until you click the preview, the page requests nothing from YouTube, and after the click the player loads from youtube-nocookie.com, and YouTube’s (Google’s) rules apply to that viewing: the service may store its own cookies. Cookies can be blocked or deleted in the browser settings, and the website will keep opening. Google ad personalization can be switched off in the ad settings: adssettings.google.com.

How long we keep it

We keep requests and correspondence for as long as needed to reply to you, carry out work on the project and keep records, and then delete or anonymize them. Server logs are kept for a limited time and are used only for security. Counter data is stored by Yandex and Google under their rules.

Your rights

You can at any time ask what data about you we have, ask us to correct or delete it, and withdraw your consent to processing. Write to info@coderep.io from the address or number you gave in the request: this way we make sure that the request comes from you. We will reply within the period set by the law of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Data protection

Only the studio’s employees who need it for their work have access to requests. We use modern server protection tools and keep the website updated. No website can guarantee absolute protection, but we do everything so that your data stays safe.

Changes

If the website starts collecting new data or we change how we use it, we will update this page and the date at the top. The current version is always available at this address.
