At Tophash Digital (“we,” “us,” or “our”), accessible at www.tophash.io, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you interact with our website. By using our site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
We collect only the information you voluntarily provide through our "Contact Us" form:
- Personal Information: Name, email address, Telegram handle, project name, and your selected services of interest.
- Non-Personal Information: If analytics tools are implemented (see Section 8), we may collect anonymized data about your interaction with our website (e.g., page views, time spent on pages).
We use the information collected for the following purposes:
- Responding to your inquiries or requests submitted via the "Contact Us" form.
- Sending newsletters, updates, or event invitations if you have provided your email address.
- Improving communication and tailoring our services to meet client needs.
- Analyzing website traffic and user behavior (if analytics tools are implemented).
We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
As a company operating under Hong Kong regulations and the British Virgin Islands (BVI) Data Protection Act (DPA), we process your data based on:
- Consent: By submitting the "Contact Us" form or subscribing to our communications, you consent to the collection and use of your information as outlined in this policy.

Our website currently does not use cookies or analytics tools; however, we may implement privacy-compliant analytics solutions in the future to better understand user behavior on our site. If analytics tools are introduced:
1. Types of Data Collected: Anonymized metrics such as page views, session duration, bounce rates, and referral sources will be collected without identifying individual users.
2. Privacy-Friendly Analytics: We will only use tools that comply with global privacy standards such as GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), and BVI DPA.
- Examples include Fathom Analytics or Plausible Analytics[1][3].
- These tools do not rely on third-party cookies and ensure full data ownership.
3. User Control: Visitors will be informed about any tracking technologies via a cookie banner and will have the option to opt out of tracking where required by law.
4. Data Retention: Analytics data will be stored in anonymized form for up to 12 months.
If Google Analytics is used in the future:
- We will disclose its use explicitly.
- Users will be informed about cookies deployed by Google Analytics and how they can manage these preferences[5].
As a BVI-based company operating under Hong Kong regulations, any data collected may be stored on servers located outside these jurisdictions (e.g., secure cloud providers). We ensure that adequate safeguards are in place for such transfers.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements or business practices. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page indicates when revisions were made.
