Privacy · what I collect and what I don't

Your data, handled the way I'd want mine handled.

This is a personal site, not a data operation. Here's plainly what gets collected when you visit, why, and what happens to it. No dark patterns, no selling, no surprises.

01 · What I collect

The short version: very little.

This is a personal portfolio site. I don't run accounts, logins, or a store, so there's no sensitive personal data changing hands. The only information collected is the ordinary, aggregate kind that almost every website sees:

02 · Why I collect it

To understand what's useful, and to reply to you.

Analytics tell me which writing and case studies people actually find valuable, so I can make the site better. Contact information exists for one reason: so I can respond when you reach out. That's the whole purpose. I don't build profiles, run ad retargeting, or use your visit to follow you around the internet.

03 · What I don't do

The lines I don't cross.

04 · Cookies and third parties

A few standard tools, nothing exotic.

The site may use basic cookies to remember preferences and to run privacy-respecting analytics. A small number of reputable third-party services help the site function, hosting, analytics, and any embedded content, and each has its own privacy practices. You can block or clear cookies in your browser at any time; the site will still work.

05 · Your choices and rights

You can ask, and I'll honor it.

If you've emailed me and want that correspondence deleted, or you want to know what I have, just ask. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data under laws like GDPR or CCPA. I'm a single person running a simple site, so the process is equally simple: send a note and I'll take care of it.

Questions, requests, or corrections: email [email protected] and I'll respond personally.

06 · Changes to this policy

If it changes, the date changes.

If I update how the site handles data, I'll revise this page and update the "last updated" date at the top. There's no fine print waiting to shift underneath you. This policy reflects how a personal site should treat the people who visit it: honestly, and with as little data as possible.
