Privacy Policy for DavidKeyes.com
Whether you’re browsing my projects, getting inspired, or just passing through, your privacy is a big deal to me. You deserve to know exactly how I handle your data, what I do to keep it safe, and how I protect the creative content I pour my heart and soul into.
This Privacy Policy is my way of keeping everything crystal clear—kinda like a chat over coffee, except with legal stuff. If you’ve got any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me at [Insert Contact Email]. I’m all ears!
1. What I Collect (The Lowdown on Data)
I don’t collect anything unnecessary or creepy—scout’s honor. Here’s what I gather when you visit:
- Personal Stuff You Share: If you fill out a contact form, subscribe to my updates, or email me directly, I might collect your name, email address, and maybe even your phone number (if you like to chat).
- Browsing Data: Like most websites, I collect basics like your IP address, browser type, device info, and what pages you explore. Don’t worry—it’s anonymous, and I only use it to make my site better for you.
- Cookie Data: Cookies are little files that help my website remember you. Think of them as digital Post-it notes. More on this below.
I don’t go around hunting for your personal details; everything I collect is either shared by you or gathered to make the website work like a charm.
2. How I Use Your Info (For Good, Not Evil)
I use the data I collect to make your experience on my website seamless and enjoyable. Here’s exactly how:
- If you reach out to me, I’ll use your info to reply with useful answers (or even just a friendly hello).
- To study how my website is being used—what’s popular, what’s not, and what I can do to make it better.
- To send updates and news about my projects if you’ve subscribed. (Hate newsletters? No problem—you can unsubscribe anytime.)
- To keep everything secure and running without glitches. I mean, no one likes a buggy website.
Rest assured, I don’t sell, rent, or share your data with shady third parties. Your info is yours, and that’s a promise I keep close to my heart.
3. Cookie Policy (Tasty Info for Techies)
Cookies are tiny text files stored on your device when you visit my site. They aren’t the kind you’ll dunk in milk, but they do make your online experience smoother. Here’s why I use them:
- Analytics Cookies: These help me figure out what’s working (and what’s not). For example, I can see which designs you love or which blog posts keep you scrolling.
- Preference Cookies: These remember your choices—like language settings—so you don’t have to set them every time you visit.
Not a fan of cookies? No worries! You can adjust your browser to block them or delete them entirely. (Pro tip: Just remember that blocking cookies might make my site a little less awesome for you.)
4. How I Protect Your Data (Think Virtual Fort Knox)
Your data’s safety is my responsibility, and I take that seriously. Here’s what I do to keep it secure:
- Techy Security Measures: I use encryption, secure servers, and firewalls to protect what you share with me.
- Access Control: Only I have access to the data you provide, and I don’t share it with anyone else—ever.
- Regular Checks: I keep an eye on the systems running my site to make sure everything stays safe.
That said, while I do everything in my power to protect your data, no system is totally hack-proof. By visiting my site, you agree to roll with those odds (I do too).
5. My Intellectual Property (AKA, Stuff I’ve Created)
This site is filled with my projects and ideas—my personal blood, sweat, and tears in digital form. Here’s what that means for you as a visitor:
- Enjoy, But Don’t Take: Browsing is encouraged, and sharing links is cool too (I see you, social media star), but copying my work or repurposing it as your own? That’s a no-go.
- Ask Before You Use: Want to feature one of my designs somewhere? Just drop me a message. I’m pretty chill about collaborations, as long as we’re both on the same page.
- Credits Where It’s Due: Any third-party elements (like fonts or stock assets) will always be credited properly. I respect copyright, and I expect the same in return.
6. External Links (A Portal to Other Worlds)
From time to time, you might find links on my site leading to other awesome places (think blogs, resources, or inspirations). But here’s the thing—once you click those links and leave davidkeyes.com, I can’t control what happens next. Those sites have their own rules, so give their privacy policies a read if you’re curious.
7. Your Rights (You’re the Captain of Your Data)
You have rights over your personal information, and I respect them fully. Here are the things you can ask for:
- Full access to the data I’ve collected about you.
- Updates or corrections to your info if something’s wrong.
- Delete your data (because who likes clutter, right?).
If you want to exercise any of these rights, just send me an email at [Insert Contact Email]. I’m more than happy to help.
8. Updates to This Policy (Every Now and Then)
I might tweak this Privacy Policy from time to time—either to stay compliant with new laws or because I’ve found ways to explain things more clearly. Whenever I make a change, it’ll go live here. Feel free to check back whenever you like.
9. Legal Shenanigans (The Boring but Necessary Stuff)
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of [Insert Applicable Jurisdiction]. If there’s a disagreement about how I handle your data, we’ll settle it right here in [Insert Region or Court]. Don’t worry—we’ll keep it civil.
10. California Residents (Your Shine the Light Act Rights)
If you’re a California resident, you’ve got some cool extra rights thanks to the Shine the Light law. This means you can request details about the personal information I share with third parties (if any) for their direct marketing purposes. The good news? I don’t currently share your info for marketing, but if I ever do, you’ll be the first to know.
Still curious? Don’t worry. I have a whole other policy on that too. Read my Do Not Sell My Data Policy or you can just shoot me an email, and I’ll happily provide the details you’re entitled to. Because transparency is kinda my thing.
Thanks for Stopping By!
That’s the whole scoop! Thanks for trusting me with your info and giving my work your time and attention. My goal is to make davidkeyes.com a place you’ll want to revisit again and again. If you have questions on these policies, or just want to say hi, shoot me a message at [email protected].
