What I collect
When you submit the contact form, I collect the details you provide (e.g., name, email, subject, message, and any optional fields like phone, project details, budget, timeline, preferred contact time, and timezone).
How your data is used
- I use your details to respond to your inquiry and follow up on projects.
- If you opt to receive a copy of your message, an acknowledgement email will be sent to your email address.
- For reliability, emails are sent via my configured SMTP provider and may include deliverability features like TLS and optional DKIM signing.
- To help combat spam, the form uses Cloudflare Turnstile verification and a honeypot field. Your IP may be validated by Turnstile and logged briefly for rate limiting and abuse prevention.
- For operational awareness, a summary of new inquiries is also posted to my private Discord via a webhook. No data is sold or shared with advertisers.
How your data is stored
I don’t create a database of submissions. Messages are forwarded to my inbox and private Discord only. Any server-side logs are minimal and retained for a short period for troubleshooting and abuse prevention.
Retention
I retain emails in my mailbox as needed to communicate with you and maintain business records. You can request deletion of email threads at any time.
Your choices
- You can choose not to provide optional fields.
- You may opt out of receiving a copy of your message by leaving “Send me a copy” unchecked.
- You can request that I update or delete your information by contacting me directly.
Security
Email is transmitted over TLS where supported by providers. My site uses HTTPS. I also support DKIM signing for improved deliverability and integrity where configured.
Third parties
- Cloudflare Turnstile (spam protection)
- Your email provider and my SMTP provider (email transmission)
- Discord (private webhook notifications)
