Introduction
Welcome to my portfolio website. I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you about how I look after your personal data when you visit my website and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
Information We Collect
I may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which I have grouped together as follows:
- Identity Data: First name, last name
- Contact Data: Email address and telephone numbers
- Technical Data: IP address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform
- Usage Data: Information about how you use my website
How We Use Your Information
I will only use your personal data when the law allows me to. Most commonly, I will use your personal data in the following circumstances:
- To respond to your inquiries via the contact form
- To send you newsletter updates (only if you've explicitly subscribed)
- To improve my website and services
- To comply with legal obligations
Analytics & Cookie Consent
This website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors use the site. Analytics run under Google Consent Mode v2: on your first visit, analytics storage defaults to denied, and no analytics cookies are set until you accept via the cookie banner. If you decline, GA4 is not activated. When you do consent, the information generated is transmitted to and stored by Google, which may process it on servers in the United States. You can change your choice at any time — see the Cookie Policy for details.
Spam Protection (Cloudflare Turnstile)
My contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile, a privacy-focused CAPTCHA alternative, to prevent spam and automated abuse. To verify you are human, Turnstile processes limited technical data (such as your IP address and browser signals) on Cloudflare's infrastructure. It does not use this data for advertising or cross-site tracking.
Newsletter
If you subscribe to my newsletter, I use double opt-in: after you sign up, I send a confirmation email, and your address is only added once you confirm it. I use your email address solely to send you updates about my blog posts, projects, and other relevant content. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email.
Data Security
I have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, I limit access to your personal data to those who have a business need to know.
Your Rights
Under data protection laws (including the GDPR and CCPA where they apply), you have rights including:
- Access your personal data
- Data portability rights
- Correction of your data
- Erasure of your data
- Object to processing
To exercise any of these rights, email me at [email protected] and I will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Changes to This Policy
I may update this privacy policy from time to time. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new privacy policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
