Data Privacy Policy

I use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use my website—like which pages are helpful and where I can improve. I also have a contact form and an embedded Google Calendar scheduler for appointments. Here’s how I handle your data (spoiler: with respect).

What I Collect & Why

Google Analytics

• Tracks basic website usage (e.g., page visits, time spent) with anonymized data.
• I’ve disabled personal tracking—your IP address is hidden, and I don’t see who you are.

Contact Form

• If you email me via the form, I’ll only use your name/email to respond.
• I won’t add you to a mailing list unless you explicitly ask (and you can opt out anytime).

Google Calendar Scheduler

• When you book an appointment, Google Calendar processes your name, email, and meeting details.
• I only use this to confirm and manage appointments—nothing else.

What I Don’t Do

• I never sell, trade, or misuse your data. Ever.
• I don’t store contact form submissions or calendar bookings outside of Google’s or Netlify's (form data) secure systems.
• I avoid unnecessary data collection (e.g., I won’t ask for your address unless it’s truly needed).

Your Control

• Opt out of analytics: Use Google’s opt-out tool or disable cookies in your browser.
• Delete contact history: Email me to remove past messages.
• Google Calendar data: Managed via your Google account settings.

I’ll update this policy if anything changes, but your privacy will always come first.
