When you contact us through our website, we may collect the following personal information:
- Name and email address (when you fill out contact forms)
- Any additional information you choose to provide in your messages
- Professional information you share when inquiring about services
Automatically Collected Information
When you access our site, our hosting provider (Vercel) may collect standard web server logs:
- IP address and approximate location (derived from IP)
- Browser and device information (user agent)
- Operating system information
- Requested URL and referrer header
We do not run first-party analytics on this site.
Preference & Feature Data
- Theme preference: We store your light/dark mode choice locally in your browser using
localStorage. This is not transmitted to our servers.
- AI message helper: If you use the “Generate Message” feature in the contact form, the
text you enter in the prompt is sent to our API for processing by Google Generative AI (Gemini). We do not
persist this content on our servers.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- Communication: To respond to your inquiries and provide requested information
- Service Improvement: To understand how visitors use our website and improve our content
- Technical Operations: To maintain website functionality and security
- Professional Services: To discuss potential DevOps consulting or collaboration
opportunities
- AI Assistance (optional): To generate a draft message for you based on your prompt. We
send your prompt to the Gemini API and return the generated text to your browser.
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent,
except as described in this privacy policy.
3. Data Storage and Security
We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information:
- Data is transmitted using secure SSL encryption
- Personal information is stored securely and access is limited
- We regularly review our security practices and update them as necessary
- We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy
Data minimization: Contact form submissions are sent directly to our form provider (see
Third-Party Services). Our /api/generate-message endpoint processes prompts in-memory and does not store them.
While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or
electronic storage is 100% secure.

request metadata when resources are requested from your browser:

form. Your name, email, and message are processed by Formspree. See their privacy policy: formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.
- Google Generative AI (Gemini): When using the optional AI helper, your prompt is sent to
Google for text generation. See: ai.google.dev and Google Privacy Policy.

Google

theme-preference.

to their policies.
You can clear local storage and cookies via your browser settings.
