Privacy policy
Last updated November 6, 2026
What this website collects, why, and what it doesn't: no cookies, no ads, no tracking. How to reach me about your data.
This policy covers andrevillanueva.com, my personal website. I'm Andre Villanueva, an independent developer in Los Angeles, California. The short version: this site collects as little as possible, uses no cookies, shows no ads and doesn't track you.
My apps have their own privacy policies, published on the Bang Bang Studios website.
Contact and booking forms
When you send a message or a booking request through a form on this site, it collects what you type in: your name, email address and message, plus any other details the form asks for (such as the kind of project). That information is sent to me by email so I can reply. I use it only to respond to you and, if we work together, to run the project. I don't sell it, share it for marketing, or add you to a mailing list.
The server that handles the forms keeps a short technical log so I can tell whether the forms are working, such as the time of a request and whether it succeeded. That log does not include your name, email address or message.
To stop spam, the forms limit how many messages can be sent in a short time. To do that, the server uses a scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address that changes every day, so it can't be turned back into your address or used to follow you from one day to the next.
Cookies, ads and analytics
This site does not set cookies. It shows no ads and uses no advertising or tracking tools. There is currently no analytics. If I add privacy-friendly analytics later, this page will say so.
Third-party services
A few things on this site load from other companies' servers. When your browser loads them, those companies receive your IP address and basic browser information, as any website would:
- Google Fonts. The fonts on this site are loaded from Google.
- YouTube. Video thumbnails load from Google's servers. If you click to play a video or follow a link to YouTube, YouTube's own privacy policy applies.
- Hosting provider. The company that hosts this site keeps standard server logs (such as IP address, pages requested and time) for security and to keep the site running.
Links to other sites, such as the App Store, GitHub or YouTube, are covered by those sites' own privacy policies.
How long I keep information
Messages you send me stay in my email for as long as they're useful for our conversation or project, and for any records I'm required to keep, such as invoices. You can ask me to delete them at any time.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) give you rights over your personal information. These include the right to know what I have about you, to get a copy, to correct it, and to have it deleted. I don't sell or share personal information as those laws define it. To use any of these rights, email me. I won't treat you differently for asking.
Children
This site is meant for business owners and people looking to hire a developer. It isn't aimed at children under 13, and I don't knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this policy changes, I'll update this page and the date at the top.
