Privacy.

This is a short policy because the site does very little. The only data the site collects is what you type into the contact form and an anonymized record of which pages were viewed. Both are described below.

What the contact form collects

When you submit the form, I store the name, email, optional company and role, the message you sent, the inquiry type you selected, and the time of submission. That record is saved in a Postgres database on a server I operate, and a copy is emailed to [email protected] via Resend, the transactional email provider this site uses. The form is not shared with any third party for marketing, advertising, or enrichment.

Analytics

Page views are counted using a self-hosted instance of Plausible Analytics. Plausible does not set cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not follow visitors across sites. The data it stores is the page URL, a referrer if the browser sent one, the country and device class derived from the request, and a daily-rotating hash that counts unique visitors without identifying them. Nothing here can be used to identify you personally.

If you book a call

The booking link goes to Cal.com. If you book through it, Cal.com collects the data needed to schedule and remind both of us about the meeting. Their privacy policy governs that data; I see the booking record but do not host the calendar system itself.

What this site does not do

No third-party advertising trackers. No retargeting pixels. No social media embeds that load tracking scripts. No newsletter list. No data sales. No cross-site profile.

Retention

Contact form submissions are kept indefinitely so I can find prior conversations. Email me at [email protected] if you want yours deleted; I will confirm the deletion in writing.

Your rights

If you live somewhere with formal data-protection rights — the European Union, the United Kingdom, California, and a growing number of states — you can ask for a copy of what I have, ask me to correct it, ask me to delete it, or ask me to stop using it. The same email address handles all of those requests.
