Privacy policy.

Plain-language summary of what reesalena.com collects, how it is used, and your rights.

This is the privacy policy for reesalena.com (the "Site"). It describes what personal information the Site collects, how it is used, and your rights. The Site is a personal portfolio for Rees Alena, an independent web developer based in Kansas City, MO, USA.

What is collected

  • Contact form submissions. When you use the contact form, the Site collects the name, email address, project type, budget range, and message you submit.
  • Server access logs. The Site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare logs basic request data (IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp) for security and abuse prevention. See Cloudflare's privacy policy for details: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
  • Anti-abuse rate-limit data. To prevent contact-form spam, your IP address is stored in a Cloudflare Workers KV namespace alongside a submission counter. This entry expires automatically after one hour.

What is not collected

  • No analytics or tracking. The Site does not use Google Analytics, Plausible, or any comparable tool.
  • No advertising or remarketing pixels.
  • No cookies are set by the Site itself. Cloudflare may set technical cookies for security purposes (e.g. __cf_bm); see their policy linked above.
  • No e-commerce. The Site does not sell anything and does not process payments.

How information is used

Contact form submissions are delivered to a private inbox via Resend, an email delivery service. Submissions are used solely to reply to your inquiry. They are not sold, traded, or shared with any third party for marketing.

How information is shared

Personal information is shared only with the service providers required to operate the Site:

  • Cloudflare Pages — hosting and delivery.
  • Cloudflare Workers KV — rate-limit storage.
  • Resend — contact-form email delivery.

Information may also be disclosed where required by law, in response to a valid legal process, or to protect against fraud or abuse.

Your rights

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California, you have rights regarding your personal information:

  • EEA / UK (GDPR & UK GDPR). You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information; you may object to processing; you may request data portability. Reference: Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
  • California (CCPA / CPRA). You may request disclosure of categories of personal information collected, deletion of personal information, and the right to opt out of sale (the Site does not sell personal information). Reference: California Civil Code §1798.100.

To exercise any of these rights, use the contact form. Requests are handled within thirty days.

Data retention

Contact form messages are retained in the recipient's inbox indefinitely unless deletion is requested. Rate-limit entries expire automatically after one hour. Cloudflare access logs are retained per Cloudflare's standard policy.

Do Not Track

The Site does not engage in cross-site tracking and does not respond to Do Not Track signals because there is nothing to disable.

Children

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and no information is knowingly collected from children.

Changes

This policy may be updated to reflect changes in practice, services used, or applicable law. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
