Privacy Policy

Overview

This website, jennifermchase.com, is a personal portfolio site operated by Jennifer Chase. Your privacy matters deeply, and this site is designed with a privacy-first approach. There are no cookies, no third-party trackers, and no consent banners because none are needed.

What Data Is Collected

Server-Side Analytics (no cookies)

This site uses server-side analytics to understand how visitors use the site. When you visit a page, the server records anonymous, non-identifying information such as the page path, referring URL, general geographic region (country-level), and device type. This data is collected server-side and does not use cookies, localStorage, or any client-side tracking scripts that follow you across the web.

Your IP address is never stored. Instead, a one-way hash is created from your IP and user agent, which rotates daily and cannot be reversed to identify you.

Performance Monitoring

This site collects anonymous performance metrics (Core Web Vitals) to ensure fast load times and a smooth experience. These metrics measure page speed, not user behavior, and contain no personally identifiable information.

Contact Form (Formspree)

When you submit the contact form, your name, email address, and message are sent via Formspree to my personal email. Formspree processes this data solely to deliver your message. Your information is not stored in any database on this site. You can review Formspree's privacy policy for details on their data handling.

No Cookies

This site does not set any cookies. There is no cookie consent banner because none is required. No data is stored in your browser for analytics or tracking purposes.

Third-Party Services

This site uses the following services:

• Vercel — Website hosting, CDN, and cookie-free performance analytics
• Google BigQuery — Anonymous analytics data storage (no personally identifiable information)
• Formspree — Contact form delivery
• Google Fonts — Typography (self-hosted via Next.js, no runtime requests to Google)

Data Retention

Anonymous analytics data is retained in BigQuery for up to 24 months. No personally identifiable information is ever stored. Contact form submissions are retained only in email and are not stored in any database.

Your Rights

Because this site does not collect personally identifiable information through analytics, there is no personal data to request, modify, or delete. If you have submitted a contact form and wish to have your message deleted, please reach out and I will be happy to accommodate.
