This Privacy Policy explains how Christian Montalban Consulting ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit https://christianmontalban.dev or engage with any related contact forms, chat features, or API endpoints operated by Christian Dave Montalban.

The Policy applies to the portfolio, landing pages, email automations, and any future subdomains that we launch in support of consulting engagements or product experiments. By accessing our properties you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, company, email, phone, project context, or supporting documents when you submit a contact form or schedule a call. We may also capture technical metadata (IP address, browser, device type, referrer, and pages visited) via server logs or lightweight analytics to improve reliability and detect abuse.

How We Use Information

We use personal information to:

  • Respond to inquiries, proposals, and engagement requests.
  • Deliver consulting services and manage project communications.
  • Send transactional or logistical messages related to scheduled calls or shared resources.
  • Analyze aggregate usage to improve content relevance and site performance.
  • Protect the site against spam, abuse, or security threats.
  • Comply with legal obligations or enforce our agreements.

Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with trusted partners that power our portfolio, such as hosting providers, form processors (e.g., Formspree), analytics platforms, calendar scheduling tools, or payment processors. These vendors may only use the data to deliver their contracted services and must follow comparable security practices. We may also disclose information if required by law or to defend our legal rights.

Cookies & Tracking

We use essential cookies for session management and may enable optional analytics or A/B testing cookies to understand site performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings. If we introduce third-party analytics, their privacy notices will govern their use of cookies.

Security

We use HTTPS, access controls, and secure hosting practices to safeguard personal data. Despite these measures, no method of transmission is perfectly secure. Please notify us at privacy@christianmontalban.dev if you believe your information has been compromised.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. You may also object to processing or ask for portability where applicable. Submit requests to privacy@christianmontalban.dev and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

International Transfers

We operate from the Philippines with collaborators in Australia. When data crosses borders we rely on contractual safeguards or other lawful mechanisms to protect it. By using the site you consent to your data being processed in these locations.
