Privacy policy

Your privacy is important no matter where you live. 

This site uses cookies to carry out a number of behind-the-scenes tasks. Squarespace, the service that hosts and runs this website, has terms of service and a privacy policy that governs site users, as well as a specific cookie policy (note that not all of the listed cookies are applicable to this particular site, since we do not include commercial services or require a login). Here is the Data Processing Addendum, which describes exactly how your data is handled and stored—and can be retrieved by you.

My contact form is a simple way of sending an email, and no information from using it is stored on-site. The information transmitted with your email is the standard header information that is generated by all emails. If for some reason you would later like your contact information expunged from my address book, just use the contact form to send me a request, and I'll take care of deleting it.

Some of the videos I have embedded in this site are actually hosted on Vimeo. Viewing the videos here is pretty much the same as going to their site to view them. So you'll want to know about their privacy policy and cookie policy. I have no control over their information or how they use it; you'll have to deal directly with them on that matter. 

I also use Google Analytics and Squarespace Analytics to collect some data about the use of this site. This includes IP addresses, which identify the rough—but not exact—area a user browses from. Here is the overall general statement about Google Analytics and data privacy. Google also offers an opt-out extension for the Chrome browser; there is a similar, privately-developed extension for Firefox. They claim to block all recording of your use of the site.

You may additionally have other sites' trackers enabled that can follow you and record your use of this site. These are entirely outside of the control of this website. You can limit the reach of these trackers, however, through the use of browser extensions such as Trace (I have no affiliation with them and other comparable methods of tracking control may be available depending upon the specific software you employ).

If you have any addition concerns regarding your privacy during your use of this site, please don't hesitate to contact me.
