Contact form

If you use the contact form, the name, email address, and message you submit are sent to me via email so I can respond. This information is not sold, shared with advertisers, or used for any purpose beyond replying to you.

Chat agent

If you use the AI chat agent on this site, you'll be asked for your email address before starting. This helps prevent misuse and lets me follow up if a conversation is worth continuing. Your messages are sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate responses. A copy of the conversation is emailed to you and to me afterward. This chat is AI-generated, not written by me personally, and may not always be accurate. Tags may be used and stored in your browser for the visit, showing which link was used.

Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics (GA4) and Google Tag Manager to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed and which links are clicked. This may involve cookies and standard web analytics data (like browser type, approximate location, and pages visited). This data is aggregated and not used to personally identify you. Analytics only run if you accept them in the consent banner.

Third-party services

This site is hosted on infrastructure provided by Bluehost and Cloudflare, and outgoing email is sent via Resend. These providers may process technical data (like IP addresses) as part of delivering their services. The AI chat agent uses Anthropic's Claude API to generate responses. The cookie consent banner is provided by Silktide.
