privacy policy & terms of use

privacy policy

Effective date:

This website (the “Site”) is a personal photography portfolio. I respect your privacy and I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

information you provide

  • Contact form: If you send a message through the contact form, I receive the information you submit (such as your name, email address, and message content). I use this information only to respond to you and to communicate about your request.

information collected automatically

  • Basic technical data: Like most websites, the Site and/or its hosting provider may log basic technical details (for example: IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and timestamps) for security, troubleshooting, and performance monitoring.
  • Google Search Console: This Site uses Google Search Console to understand how the Site appears in Google Search and to monitor search performance. Google Search Console provides aggregated reporting (such as search queries, impressions, clicks, and indexing status). It is not used by me to identify you personally.

cookies

This Site does not intentionally use cookies for advertising or marketing. Some services involved in delivering the Site (such as your browser, network, or third-party platforms) may use cookies or similar technologies as part of normal web operation.

how I use information

  • To respond to messages you send through the contact form.
  • To maintain the Site, improve performance, and protect against spam and abuse.
  • To monitor search visibility and indexing status through Google Search Console.

sharing of information

I do not sell your personal information. I only share information when necessary to operate the Site (for example, with my hosting provider or email delivery service used to receive contact messages), or if required to comply with applicable law.

data retention

Contact messages are retained only as long as needed to respond and for reasonable recordkeeping. Technical logs (if any) are retained for a limited period as part of standard hosting operations.

security

I take reasonable steps to protect information submitted through the Site. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute security.

your choices

  • You can choose not to submit personal information by not using the contact form.
  • If you have contacted me and want me to delete your message history, you can request that by emailing me (see “contact” below).

children’s privacy

This Site is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

changes to this policy

I may update this policy from time to time. The “Effective date” at the top of this section reflects the most recent version.
