1. Information I Collect
Information collected automatically
My hosting provider, Vercel, automatically collects basic technical information when you visit the site, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and the date and time of access. This data helps keep the site secure and functioning properly.
When you use my contact form, additional services may process limited data to operate and protect the form. I use Upstash (Redis/Ratelimit) for abuse prevention and rate limiting, which may process identifiers such as IP address and request metadata. I use Resend to deliver contact form emails, which processes the contact details and message content you submit. My site is built with Next.js, and server-side request handling may include standard operational logs needed for reliability, debugging, and security.
The information you provide through the contact form, including your name, email address, and message, will only be used so Andrew Chupka can review your inquiry and respond directly.
Third-party services
If you interact with external links (GitHub, LinkedIn), those platforms may collect their own data according to their privacy policies. I do not receive or store that information.
2. How I Use Your Information
I use your information only for:
- Responding to your inquiries
- Improving the website's performance and security
- Keeping a record of our communications so I can respond and follow up as needed
3. How I Store and Protect Your Information
I take reasonable steps to protect your information, including secure encrypted connections (HTTPS), reputable hosting through Vercel, and limiting access to personal information to only what is necessary to respond to your inquiry. I retain contact form submissions only as long as needed to respond or maintain communication history.
4. Your Rights
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information I have about you, ask me to correct or update your information, or request deletion of your information. To exercise these rights, email me at contact@andrewchupka.com.
5. Cookies
I do not use cookies for tracking or advertising. My hosting provider (Vercel) may use essential cookies or similar technologies required for security, performance, and site delivery. My contact form services (Upstash for rate limiting and Resend for email delivery) operate server-side and do not rely on advertising cookies on this website.
6. External Links
My website contains links to third-party sites (GitHub, LinkedIn). I am not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. I encourage you to review their privacy policies before interacting with them.
7. Changes to This Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent version.
8. Contact Me
