What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

This website collects limited personal data only as needed for normal website functionality, security, communication, and performance.

Some information may be collected automatically through WordPress, the website host, or third-party plugins and services used to operate the site. This may include technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and general site usage.

If you contact us through a form or by email, we may receive your name, email address, and any information you choose to include in your message.

We collect or receive this information to:

  • operate and maintain the website
  • respond to messages or inquiries
  • improve website performance and usability
  • help protect the website from spam, abuse, or security threats
  • comply with legal, administrative, or security obligations

Comments

Comments are not currently enabled on this website.

If comments are enabled in the future, the website may collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor's IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address may also be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you are using it. After approval of a comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public next to your comment.

Media

If users are ever allowed to upload images to the website, they should avoid uploading images with embedded location data, such as EXIF GPS data. Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images posted on the site.

Contact Forms and Email

If you contact us through a contact form or by email, we may collect the information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, and message content.

We use this information only to respond to your inquiry, communicate with you, or provide support related to your request. We do not sell personal information submitted through contact forms or email messages.

Cookies

This website may use cookies to improve your browsing experience and support normal website functions.

For example, cookies may be used to remember preferences, support login functionality, improve security, or help third-party tools operate correctly. Some cookies may be set by WordPress itself, while others may come from plugins, embedded content, analytics tools, or the website host.

You can usually control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect how parts of the website function.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Pages or articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, articles, or social media content. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited those websites directly.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, include additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, especially if you are logged in to an account with that third party.

Analytics

This website may use standard analytics tools or website hosting analytics to better understand visitor activity and improve performance. These tools may collect information such as pages viewed, browser type, device type, approximate location, referral source, and general usage behavior.

Any analytics data collected is typically aggregated and is not used by us to personally identify individual visitors.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal information.

Any data collected through this website may be processed by trusted third-party services that help operate the site, such as website hosting providers, spam protection services, analytics providers, security tools, and contact form plugins. These services process data according to their own privacy practices, and we do not directly control how third-party providers handle information once it is collected by their systems.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you contact us through a form or by email, we may retain that communication for as long as needed to respond to your request, keep appropriate records, or meet legal, administrative, or security obligations.

If comments are enabled in the future, comment data and related metadata may be retained indefinitely so follow-up comments can be recognized and approved automatically.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

Depending on your location and applicable privacy laws, you may have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, request corrections, or request deletion of your information, subject to any legal, administrative, or security obligations that require us to retain certain data.

To make a privacy-related request, please contact us at david@davidrosenfelt.com.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Data submitted through this website may be processed by third-party providers such as website hosts, plugin developers, spam filtering services, analytics providers, or embedded content platforms. These providers may store or process data on servers located outside your state or country.

If comments are enabled in the future, visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

How We Protect Your Data

We take reasonable steps to help protect this website and any information received through it. These steps may include secure hosting, software updates, password protection, and general security measures designed to reduce unauthorized access, misuse, or abuse.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

What Data Breach Procedures We Have in Place

If we become aware of a data breach affecting personal information under our control, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the issue, secure affected systems, and provide notice where required by applicable law.

What Third Parties We Receive Data From

In most cases, we receive information directly from visitors or automatically through website systems and tools. Some technical or usage data may also be received from third-party services such as analytics providers, spam filtering tools, security services, hosting providers, or embedded content platforms.

Automated Decision-Making

This website does not use personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on users.
