What Data We Collect and Why

1. Contact Form Data

When you fill out the contact form on this website, I collect:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your phone number (if provided)
• Your message

This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry. Your data is never sold, shared with third parties, or used for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

2. Comments

When visitors leave comments on this site, I collect the data shown in the comments form — including your name, email address, and the comment itself — along with your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have a profile picture associated with that email. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.

3. Analytics Data (Google Analytics)

This website uses Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics collects anonymous data including:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• General geographic location (country and city level — not your exact address)
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• Browser type and operating system
• How you arrived at the website (direct, search, social media, etc.)

No personally identifiable information is collected through Google Analytics. Your IP address is anonymized before being stored.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Media Uploads

If you upload images to this website (for example, through a contact or project submission form), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
