Privacy Policy
This policy explains justinspegele.com collects, uses, and protects information.
1. Information I Collect
Information you provide directly
If you use the contact form on this site, I collect your name, your email address, and any message content you choose to include. This information is submitted through Netlify Forms and stored on Netlify's servers. I use it solely to respond to your inquiry. I do not use this information for marketing, and I do not sell, rent, or trade it to third parties.
Automatically collected information
This site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand general traffic patterns — for example, how many people visit, what pages are popular, and what country visitors are browsing from. Cloudflare Web Analytics:
- Does not use cookies
- Does not use persistent identifiers or device fingerprinting
- Collects only aggregated, non-personally-identifiable data
I cannot identify you individually from this analytics data.
No cookies
This site does not set or use cookies of any kind — no tracking cookies, no advertising cookies, and no functional cookies requiring consent.
2. Scripts & Third-Party Services
I do not use Google Fonts, advertising networks, social media trackers, or any other third-party scripts beyond those listed below.
| Service | Purpose | Data Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare Web Analytics | Anonymous, aggregate traffic statistics | No personal data; no cookies |
| Netlify Forms | Processes and stores contact form submissions | Name, email address, and message content |
3. How I Use Your Information
Information submitted via the contact form is used only to respond to your inquiry and maintain a record of communications, where reasonably necessary. Aggregate analytics data is used only to understand overall site usage and improve the site's content and performance.
4. Data Storage & International Transfers
Contact form submissions are stored by Netlify, Inc., a U.S.-based company, in accordance with Netlify's privacy policy. Because this site is accessible globally, information you submit may be processed or stored in the United States or other countries where Netlify or Cloudflare operate infrastructure. By submitting the contact form, you understand your information may be transferred internationally.
5. Data Retention
I retain contact form submissions for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to and maintain a record of the inquiry, or until you request deletion. Aggregated analytics data does not identify individuals and is retained per Cloudflare's standard analytics practices.
6. Legal Basis for Processing (EU/UK Visitors)
If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, my legal basis for processing your contact form information is:
- Legitimate interest — responding to inquiries you have voluntarily sent me; and/or
- Consent — by voluntarily submitting the form
7. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to:
- Request access to the personal data I hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your data
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Request a copy of your data in a portable format
This applies to visitors covered by the GDPR (EU/UK), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and similar laws elsewhere. To exercise any of these rights, email me at hello@justinspegele.com. I will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
8. Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 16, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
