This Privacy Policy explains how Shawn Bonsall (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit www.shawnbonsall.com (the “Site”).

1) Who We Are

The Site is owned and operated by Shawn Bonsall. We act as the “data controller” for personal information collected through the Site.

2) Information We Collect

A) Information you provide to us

When you choose to contact us through the Site (for example, by submitting a contact form), you may provide information such as:

Name

Email address

Phone number (if you include it)

Organization (if you include it)

Any message or details you type into the form

Please do not submit sensitive personal information (for example: Social Security numbers, financial account details, passwords, or medical information).

B) Information collected automatically (usage + device data)

When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect limited information such as:

IP address (and approximate location derived from it)

Browser type and device information

Time zone and language

Pages visited and time spent

Referring website/search terms

Cookie identifiers and similar tracking data

This is commonly referred to as “Device Information” and “Usage Information.”

3) How We Use Information

We use information for the following purposes:

A) Website usage tracking and improvement (tracking only)

We use automatically collected information to:

Understand general traffic and usage patterns (e.g., which pages are visited most)

Improve Site performance and content

Help detect and prevent abuse or security issues

We use this information only for tracking site usage and improving the Site — and not for unrelated purposes.

B) Responding to you

If you submit contact information, you are requesting a response and you agree that we may contact you back using the information you provided to respond to your message or request.

4) Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site may use cookies (small text files) and similar technologies to support basic functionality and track site usage.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some parts of the Site may not function properly.

5) When We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information only in the following situations:

Service providers that help operate the Site (for example, website hosting, analytics, security tools, or email services). These providers are permitted to use information only to perform services for us.

Legal or safety reasons if required by law or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, or prevent fraud/abuse.

Business changes (rare): if the Site or its assets are transferred, information may be transferred as part of that transaction (subject to this Policy).

6) Data Retention

Contact messages: We keep contact form submissions as long as reasonably necessary to respond and maintain records related to the communication.

Usage/analytics data: We keep aggregated or analytics information for a period consistent with typical website operations and tool settings, then delete or de-identify it when no longer needed.

7) Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

8) Your Rights and Choices

A) General rights

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided to us (subject to legal and operational limits).

B) European Economic Area (EEA) / UK visitors

If you are located in the EEA or UK, you may have additional rights such as access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, and rights related to automated decision-making/profiling. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

9) International Visitors

If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

10) Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to other websites (such as social media). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites. Please review their policies separately.

11) Children’s Privacy

This Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
