Effective Date: January 17, 2026

Kingstone Development Group LLC (“Kingstone,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to respecting the privacy of visitors to our website and to handling information in a manner consistent with lawful design, institutional integrity, and applicable privacy obligations.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, and the principles governing its protection.

1. Scope and Purpose

This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected through the Kingstone Development website (the “Site”). It does not govern information collected offline or through third-party platforms not under our control.

Kingstone designs and stewards technological systems that are lawful by architecture. Accordingly, our approach to privacy reflects restraint, minimization, and purpose limitation rather than broad data extraction.

2. Information We Collect

a. Information You Voluntarily Provide

We may collect limited personal information if you choose to provide it, such as:

• Name
• Email address
• Organizational affiliation
• Inquiry content submitted through a contact form or direct correspondence

Submission of such information is voluntary.

b. Automatically Collected Information

When you visit the Site, limited technical information may be collected automatically, including:

• IP address
• Browser type
• Operating system
• Pages visited and access timestamps

This information is collected for security, performance monitoring, and basic analytics purposes.

3. Use of Information

Information collected by Kingstone is used solely to:

• Respond to inquiries or communications initiated by you
• Maintain and secure the Site
• Improve the Site’s functionality and reliability
• Comply with legal or regulatory obligations

Kingstone does not use personal information for targeted advertising, behavioral profiling, or data brokerage.

4. Data Minimization and Retention

Consistent with lawful design principles, Kingstone:

• Collects only information reasonably necessary for the purposes described
• Retains personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill those purposes or satisfy legal requirements
• Periodically reviews stored information for relevance and necessity

5. Disclosure of Information

Kingstone does not sell, rent, or trade personal information.

Information may be disclosed only:

• To service providers performing limited functions on our behalf (e.g., hosting or security services), subject to confidentiality obligations
• If required by law, court order, or lawful governmental request
• To protect the rights, property, or security of Kingstone or others

6. Cookies and Analytics

The Site may use limited cookies or similar technologies to support functionality and understand aggregate usage patterns.

These tools are used for operational insight, not individual tracking. You may adjust your browser settings to limit or disable cookies.

7. Data Security

Kingstone implements reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

No system can guarantee absolute security; however, Kingstone’s systems are designed with security and restraint as foundational principles.

8. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to external websites, including nicolindecker.io. Kingstone is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party sites. Visitors are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any external sites they visit.

9. International Visitors

Kingstone operates from the United States. By accessing the Site, international visitors acknowledge that information may be processed and stored in the United States or other jurisdictions with differing data protection laws.

10. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. Kingstone does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Changes to This Policy

Kingstone may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
