Privacy Policy

UTZYx ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website at utzyx.com or engage our services.

We are based in the United Kingdom and comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

How We Use Your Data

We process your data for the following lawful purposes:

  • Service Delivery: To provide consulting, development, and support services
  • Communication: To respond to enquiries and provide project updates
  • Legal Compliance: To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights
  • Improvement: To enhance our website, services, and user experience

Cookies & Tracking

Our website separates essential storage from optional analytics and marketing:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for site functionality (session management, security)
  • Analytics: Optional usage measurement, enabled only with analytics consent
  • Marketing: Meta Pixel and Google Ads, loaded only after marketing consent, measure page visits, WhatsApp chat/catalogue clicks and successful contact enquiries. These providers may process cookie identifiers, campaign information, IP addresses and device/browser information.
  • Preference Cookies: Remember your settings and preferences

Change or withdraw consent at any time using “Cookie preferences” in the footer. Withdrawing marketing consent reloads the page to unload provider code and clears accessible first-party marketing cookies. Events already sent cannot be recalled, and third-party cookies remain subject to your browser and provider controls. Conversion event payloads do not include form contents, names or email addresses.

Payments & Refunds

Payment Processing

Payments are processed securely through PCI-DSS compliant payment processors. We do not store complete credit card details on our servers. Payment information is encrypted and handled directly by our payment partners.

Refund Policy

Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis depending on the service agreement. For project-based work, refunds may be available for undelivered milestones. Contact us directly to discuss any concerns.

Billing Disputes

If you have questions about a charge, please contact us at info@utzyx.com before filing a dispute with your bank. We're committed to resolving issues fairly and promptly.
