Privacy Policy

Jose (contact details in the section at the bottom of this page) is responsible for deciding how personal data collected through this website is used. This is a non-commercial portfolio and technical blog; I do not run paid ads on the site and I do not sell personal data.

If you use features that hit my separate API (for example loading blog posts or case studies), some technical data is processed on servers I control under the same purposes described here.

I collect only the minimum data required to operate this site and respond to visitors. I do not sell, rent, or share data with advertisers.

• ■Contact requests — When you reach out via the contact section or email, I receive your email address and message. I use this exclusively to reply and do not share it with any third party.
• ■Usage & analytics — I may use Google Analytics 4 to understand traffic, navigation, and engagement (page views, scroll depth, contact clicks). This produces aggregated statistics — not a list of named individuals. I do not use GA for advertising or remarketing.
• ■Server & security logs — Like most websites, hosting infrastructure may log technical data such as IP address, request path, status code, and browser type for security and debugging. I access these logs only when needed to keep the service reliable.
• ■Case study pages — When you open a published case study, a simple view counter on my backend may increment so I can see aggregate interest in each project. This is not used for marketing.
• ■Cookie / consent preference — The cookie notice stores your choice in localStorage on your device so the banner does not reappear every visit. This is not sent to my server.

I use any information collected solely for the following purposes:

• ✓Responding to your enquiries or project requests
• ✓Improving the site's content, performance, and user experience
• ✓Understanding which pages and topics are most useful to visitors
• ✓Troubleshooting technical issues
• ✓Measuring readership of blog posts and case studies (aggregated only)

I will never use your contact details to send unsolicited marketing messages. Processing is based on legitimate interest and/or your explicit consent when you submit the contact form.

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) may be loaded when the site is configured with a measurement ID. It uses cookies and similar technology to help me understand how people use the site. Google processes this data under its own terms; see Google's Privacy Policy. I do not use GA for advertising personalisation or retargeting.

I do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site ad networks. The cookie banner records your acknowledgement in localStorage.

You can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, use private browsing, or block cookies in settings. The site continues to work for reading content even if analytics are blocked.

I use services that may independently process limited technical data under their own privacy policies:

• ■Hosting — The site is hosted on infrastructure that may log request metadata (IP address, user-agent, response time) for operational and security purposes.
• ■Analytics — Google LLC (Google Analytics) — Page measurement and event data are processed by Google when GA4 is enabled. You can learn more at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
• ■External Links — This site may link to external services (GitHub, LinkedIn, etc.). Once you leave this site, those services' own privacy policies apply. I am not responsible for the data practices of third-party websites.

All data in transit is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS. I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect any information you submit.

Please note that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While I take every reasonable precaution, I cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to me.

Contact details are retained only for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry and for reasonable business record purposes. I do not store them indefinitely.

Analytics data in Google Analytics is subject to Google's retention settings. Aggregated case-study view counts on my server are kept while the portfolio feature is in use.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data I hold about you. You may also have the right to object to processing or to request data portability.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact me directly at albertarnedo03@gmail.com. I will respond within a reasonable timeframe, and no later than 30 days.

Children: This site is aimed at adults and professionals. I do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact me and I will delete it.

This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the site's functionality, applicable law, or industry best practices. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.

Continued use of this website after any revisions constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. I encourage you to review this page periodically.
