Privacy Policy

ThynkQ ("we", "our", or "us") is operated by Abanoub Rodolf Boctor. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit thynkq.com or engage us for services.

We collect the minimum information needed to provide our services. We do not sell personal information to third parties.

Contact form submissions — When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message. This is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is delivered to us via Resend.

Email newsletter subscriptions — When you subscribe to updates, we collect your email address. We use it to send engineering articles and occasional announcements. You can unsubscribe at any time by replying to any email.

Payment information — When you purchase a digital product or book a paid consultation, your payment is processed by Stripe. We do not store your card number, CVV, or full billing details. Stripe may retain your payment data under their privacy policy. We receive your email address and the product purchased.

Booking data — If you book a call via Cal.com, your name, email, and scheduling information are processed by Cal.com under their privacy policy. We receive a copy of the booking details.

Analytics data — We use Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Vercel Analytics is cookie-free and collects only aggregate performance metrics with no personal identifiers. No tracking cookies are set for analytics purposes.

AI behavior analysis — Our site uses an AI-powered assistant that observes anonymous browsing patterns (pages visited, time on page, scroll depth, clicks on interactive elements) to provide personalized suggestions. This data is stored temporarily in your browser's sessionStorage and is cleared when you close the tab. No cookies are set. No personally identifiable information is collected. The data is sent to our AI provider (self-hosted inference) only when you interact with the AI panel, and is not retained after analysis.

Server logs — Our hosting provider (Vercel) may collect standard server log data such as IP addresses, request paths, and timestamps. This data is used for security and performance monitoring and is not shared with third parties.
