1. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide Voluntarily

  • Contact Form: When you submit the “Contact Us” form, we collect only the message you type. We do not ask for your name, email, or any personal identifiers.

B. Information Collected Automatically

  • Log Data: Like most websites, our server automatically records standard information such as your IP address, browser type, referring page, and timestamp. This helps us diagnose problems and analyze trends.
  • Cookies & Similar Technologies: We use only essential cookies required for site functionality (e.g., enabling the contact form). We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies from third parties (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, etc.).

C. Information We Do NOT Collect

  • Names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any personally identifiable information (PII) unless you explicitly include it in your contact message.
  • Payment information (we do not sell products or accept payments).
  • Social media profiles or login data.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • Contact Form Messages: Solely to read and, if appropriate, respond to your inquiry. Responses are sent manually and are not stored longer than necessary.
  • Log Data: For security, troubleshooting, and understanding traffic patterns.
  • Cookies: To ensure the contact form works when JavaScript is enabled.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent any personal information.

We may share data only in these limited cases:

  • Service Providers: With hosting providers (e.g., Vercel, Netlify, or equivalent) that process server logs under strict confidentiality.
  • Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, or government request.

4. Data Security

We use industry-standard measures (HTTPS encryption, secure server configuration, and regular backups) to protect data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

5. Data Retention

  • Contact form messages are deleted within 30 days after we respond (or immediately if no response is needed).
  • Server logs are retained for up to 90 days for security auditing, then automatically purged.

6. Your Privacy Rights

California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

  • You have the right to request what personal information we have collected (currently: none beyond IP logs).
  • You have the right to request deletion of any personal data.
  • We do not sell personal information, so “Do Not Sell” opt-outs are not applicable.

European Economic Area (EEA) & UK Users (GDPR)

  • We do not process personal data that requires a lawful basis under GDPR because we collect no identifiable information beyond anonymized logs.
  • If you believe we have processed your data, you may contact us (see Section 9) to exercise rights of access, rectification, or erasure.

7. Third-Party Links

Our Site may link to external sites (IMDb, Wikipedia, Netflix, etc.). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies separately.

8. Children’s Privacy

adambrody.us is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If we learn such data has been submitted, we will delete it immediately.

9. Contact Us

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy occasionally. The new version will be posted here with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance.
