Welcome to my personal portfolio website Moor Stories, hosted on Squarespace. Your privacy is important to me, and this Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit the Site. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information I Collect

1. Personal Information You Provide

  • Contact Forms & Newsletter Sign-Ups: When you send a message via the Site’s contact form or subscribe to updates, I collect information such as your name, email address, and any other details you choose to share.

  • Comments or Inquiries: If you leave a comment on a blog post (if enabled) or submit inquiries, the content of your message and your contact details are collected.

2. Automatically Collected Information

  • Website Analytics: Squarespace’s built-in analytics tools automatically gather data about how you interact with the Site, including pages viewed, time spent on pages, and referral sources. This information is aggregated and anonymized for reporting purposes.

  • Device & Usage Data: When you visit the Site, Squarespace may collect your IP address, browser type, operating system, and general geographic location (city/state level) to help improve site performance and security.

How I Use Your Information

  • Responding to Inquiries: To reply to your messages, provide information you request, or follow up on a project inquiry.

  • Improving the Site: To analyze usage patterns and optimize content, design, and functionality.

  • Communications & Updates: If you subscribe to newsletters or updates, I may email you occasional updates about new projects, blog posts, or relevant news. You can opt out at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any newsletter email.

  • Security & Fraud Prevention: To detect, prevent, and address fraud or other illegal activities that threaten the Site’s security.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

  • I have not installed cookies, third-party analytics, or any tracking technologies on this Site. Consequently:

    • No Visitor Tracking: Your visits and behavior on the Site are not tracked via cookies.

    • No Targeted Advertising: There is no targeted advertising or remarketing on this Site.

    Note that if Squarespace’s underlying platform uses essential cookies or temporary session mechanisms to render pages properly, those are managed automatically by Squarespace and are not tied to any marketing or analytics use. You do not need to take any action to disable them.

Third-Party Services & Disclosure

  • Squarespace: The Site is hosted on Squarespace, and I rely on Squarespace’s infrastructure, analytics, and security features. Squarespace’s Privacy Policy describes how they handle data: https://www.squarespace.com/privacy.

  • Email Provider: If you sign up for newsletters, I use Gmail to manage the mailing list. That provider’s privacy practices apply to your email address.

  • Embedded Content: If I embed content (such as videos from YouTube or social media feeds), those platforms may collect data about your interaction with embedded elements.

  • No Sale or Rent: I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Data Security

I implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While I strive to protect your personal data, I cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Data Retention

  • Personal Data: I retain personal information (e.g., contact form submissions, newsletter subscriptions) only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or to comply with legal obligations.

  • Anonymous Analytics: Aggregated usage data may be stored indefinitely in anonymized form for trend analysis.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is not intended for children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If I become aware that I have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13, I will take steps to delete that information as soon as possible.

International Data Transfers

If you are accessing the Site from outside the European Union or European Economic Area, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the Netherlands (where Squarespace’s servers are located) or other countries. By using the Site, you consent to such transfers.

GDPR Rights (European Users)

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
