PRIVACY POLICY

1. Who We Are

Kuykendall Industries, LLC ("KI," "we," "us") operates kuykendall.industries. This policy describes how we handle data collected through this site.

2. What We Collect

We collect only what you give us and what basic infrastructure requires:

• Application form submissions: name, email address, selected role, portfolio URL (if provided), free-text responses (why you, proof of work, knockout answer)
• Technical metadata: IP address (for rate limiting only), submission timestamp
• Analytics: page views via Plausible Analytics — privacy-friendly, cookieless, no personal data collected

3. What We Do Not Collect

• We do not use cookies
• We do not use tracking pixels or retargeting
• We do not fingerprint your browser
• We do not build advertising profiles

4. How We Use Your Data

• Application review: submitted information is delivered to our hiring contact via email for evaluation
• Confirmation email: we send a one-time auto-receipt confirming your application was received
• Rate limiting: IP addresses are stored temporarily in memory to prevent abuse; they are not persisted to disk or database

5. Who Has Access

• Kuykendall Industries: the founding team reviews applications
• Resend: our email delivery provider processes outbound email on our behalf. Resend Privacy Policy
• Plausible Analytics: processes aggregate, anonymous page-view data. Plausible Data Policy
• Vercel: hosts this site. Vercel Privacy Policy

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with advertisers or data brokers. Period.

6. Data Retention

Application emails are retained in our inbox for as long as they are relevant to hiring decisions. We do not maintain a separate database of applicant records. If you want your application data deleted, email us and we will remove it.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Object to processing of your data

To exercise any of these rights, contact contact@montgomerykuykendall.com.

8. Security

We use HTTPS, Content Security Policy headers, and infrastructure-level protections through Vercel. Application data is transmitted via encrypted email delivery through Resend. We take reasonable measures to protect your data, but no system is perfectly secure.

9. Children

This site is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.
