Hi, I’m Derrick—the person behind this site. I take your privacy seriously, and I want to be clear about what information I collect, why I collect it, and how it’s used.

This page covers that in plain English.

1. What I Collect (and Why)

I only collect information when it's necessary—and I try to keep it minimal. Here's what might be collected when you use this site:

📬 If You Use a Contact Form

  • What I collect: Your name, email address, and message
  • Why: So I can reply to your message. That’s it.

🗨️ If You Leave a Comment (if enabled)

  • What I collect: Your name, email address, IP address, and comment
  • Why: To display your comment and prevent spam

📊 Analytics (like Google Analytics or similar)

  • What gets tracked: Device info, browser type, location (approximate), pages visited, time spent, etc.
  • Why: So I can understand how people use the site and improve it

I never use this data to personally identify you. It’s just for stats and site performance.

2. Cookies

This site may use cookies—small files that store bits of data on your device.

Cookies help:

  • Keep the site running smoothly
  • Collect anonymous traffic data
  • Remember preferences (if the site has user settings)

You can clear or block cookies anytime in your browser settings.

3. I Don’t Sell or Share Your Data

I don’t sell, rent, or give your personal information to anyone—ever.

The only exceptions:

  • If required by law (like a legal request)
  • If needed to run the site (like a trusted email service provider)

Some pages may link to other websites. Once you leave my site, I can’t control how those sites handle your data. I recommend checking their privacy policies if you’re concerned.

5. How Your Info Is Protected

I use standard security practices to keep your data safe—like HTTPS (secure connections) and anti-spam protection. That said, no website is 100% secure, so please don’t share sensitive information through forms or comments.

6. Your Rights (Especially If You're in the UK/EU)

If you're in a country that follows GDPR or similar laws, you have the right to:

  • Ask what data I’ve collected about you
  • Request changes or corrections
  • Ask me to delete your data

To do any of that, just contact me and I’ll respond as soon as I can.

7. Policy Updates

I may update this policy from time to time. If anything major changes, I’ll post it here.
