Your privacy is important. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected and how it is used on www.louisbourne.me.
1. Information Collected
- Contact Form: When you submit the contact form, you provide your name, email address, and message. This information is used only to reply to your inquiry.
- Browsing: You can view the Site, read the blog, view projects, and download the resume without providing any personal information.
- Admin Account: Only one account exists for administrative purposes, accessible solely by the Site owner (Louis Bourne).
2. Use of Information
Information collected through the contact form is used exclusively for direct communication with you. It will not be shared, sold, or disclosed to third parties unless required by law.
3. Data Storage and Security
Messages may be stored securely within the Site's database or email system. Reasonable security measures are applied to protect this data, though no system is entirely immune to breach.
4. Cookies and Analytics
www.louisbourne.me uses only essential cookies required for core functionality, such as session management in this standard Rails application. There are no advertising cookies and no third-party advertising or social-media trackers.
For privacy-friendly, aggregate analytics the Site uses PostHog in a fully cookieless mode: it sets no cookies and uses no localStorage (data is kept only in memory for the duration of your visit). It records aggregate visitor activity such as page views and a few interaction events (for example, downloading the resume or submitting the contact form) to help improve the Site. No individual visitor is personally identified, and the Site owner (Louis Bourne) is excluded from this analytics entirely.
5. External Links
Blog posts or project pages may include links to other websites. Louis Bourne is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those external sites.
6. Your Rights
If you have submitted a message through the contact form, you can request deletion of that correspondence by contacting the Site owner directly.
7. Changes
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with the date of last modification.
