What this site collects

Visits

I use Umami, a privacy-focused analytics service, to learn which pages and case study chapters get read and how people find the site.

• No cookies and no advertising.
• It records the pages you open, what you interact with (such as opening an image or copying my email), the site you came from, your approximate location, and your browser and device type.
• Your IP address is used to work out that location and to group the pages of a visit together. It is not stored.
• Visits are grouped by a code that changes every month. It is not linked to your name or email, and it cannot reliably tell one person from another.

Links from job applications

A link I share in a job application carries a short label, usually the company’s name. It tells me which application led to a visit. The label stays in your browser tab until you close it and is saved with the visit. It says nothing about who you are.

The portfolio assistant

The orb answers questions about my work.

• Your question is sent to Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, to write the answer.
• I keep the text of the questions to see what people want to know and to improve the answers.
• Email addresses and phone numbers are removed before a question is saved. Anything else is kept as you wrote it, so please leave out personal details.
• If you use Voice, your browser turns your speech into text. Depending on the browser, its maker may process the audio.

Contact form

The name, email, company and message you send come to my inbox so I can reply. Netlify, which hosts this site, stores them. I use them only to answer you.

Services behind the site

Netlify hosts the site, Umami stores the analytics and Anthropic answers the assistant’s questions. Fonts and scripts load from Google Fonts and jsDelivr. As with any website, these services receive your IP address in order to send you the page. Most of these services are based in the United States, so your information may be processed there or in other countries outside Canada.

How long it is kept

• Analytics and saved questions are kept by Umami for up to six months.
• Anthropic, which writes the assistant’s answers, normally deletes the questions it receives within 30 days.
• Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to respond and manage our correspondence, then deleted when no longer needed.

Your information

If you’d like to ask about information you’ve shared, request a correction or deletion, or have a privacy concern, please contact me through the contact page. Analytics aren’t linked directly to a name or email, so I may not be able to identify an individual visit.
