Questions about this policy can be sent to [CONFIRM PRIVACY CONTACT EMAIL].
Short version
This site does not set cookies, does not run analytics, and does not use advertising or tracking pixels. It does not build profiles of visitors. The sections below describe the small number of places where data is nonetheless involved.
Information collected directly
None at present. The contact form on this site is not yet connected: it has no submission endpoint and its submit control is disabled, so nothing entered into it is transmitted or stored. When the form is activated, this policy will be updated before it accepts a single submission.
Technical data
Like any website, requests to this site and to the services that deliver its files carry your IP address, browser user-agent, and the page requested. This is inherent to how the web works and is handled by the hosting and content-delivery providers named below.
Server request logs are retained by those providers under their own policies. [CONFIRM HOSTING PROVIDER AND LOG RETENTION PERIOD]
Analytics
None. There is no Google Analytics, no Vercel Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no LinkedIn Insight Tag, and no tag manager on this site.
Embedded video
Project films are hosted on Vimeo. They are deliberately loaded behind a click-to-play facade: until you press play, no request is made to Vimeo and Vimeo receives nothing about your visit. Once you press play, Vimeo receives your IP address and sets its own cookies under Vimeo's privacy policy, over which we have no control.
Some films are served directly from this site instead, and those involve no third party at all.
Hosting and content delivery
Images on this site are currently delivered from the Squarespace content delivery network, which receives your IP address when an image loads. This is an interim arrangement while media is migrated to a dedicated CDN.
Typefaces are self-hosted from this site's own domain at build time, so no request is made to Google Fonts or any other font service.

Why data is processed
Solely to deliver this website and keep it available and secure. No data is used for marketing, profiling, automated decision-making, or sale to third parties.
Your rights
Because this site holds no personal data about you, there is generally nothing to access, correct, or delete. If that changes when the contact form is activated, you will be able to request access to, correction of, or deletion of anything you submitted, by writing to the address above.
Children
This is a professional portfolio and consultancy site. It is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from them.
External links
This site links to external services and client work. Those destinations have their own privacy practices, which we do not control.
Changes to this policy
This policy will be updated whenever the site's data handling changes, in particular before the contact form or any analytics is switched on. The effective date below always reflects the current version.
