Transparent, privacy-first practices explaining how your data is handled when you explore this portfolio or reach out for work.
Last updated: September 14, 2026 • Applicable globally
1. Information I Collect
When you visit or interact with this portfolio, certain information may be collected:
- Directly Provided Information: When you send a message through the contact form, your name, email address, and message contents are transmitted securely via EmailJS so I can respond to your inquiry.
- Automated Telemetry: Technical data such as browser type, approximate location, device model, and page loading speed are processed via Vercel Speed Insights to improve site responsiveness.
2. How Information is Utilized
The collected information serves explicit, transparent purposes:
I never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to data brokers or third-party advertisers.
3. Cookies & External Services
This website integrates trusted third-party providers that may utilize standard browser cookies or local storage:
- Spotify API: Public playback widget data retrieved to showcase current listening activity (no personal Spotify tokens are requested from visitors).
- Vercel Insights: Privacy-friendly anonymous metrics to evaluate Core Web Vitals.
You can configure your browser to reject cookies or utilize privacy extensions; basic site browsing will continue to operate normally.
4. Data Security & Storage
As a cybersecurity-focused engineer, data integrity and encryption are taken seriously:
All network communication is enforced through TLS 1.3 encryption (HTTPS) with strict transport security (HSTS). API keys, secrets, and environment tokens are stored securely in backend server environments and are never exposed to client-side bundles.
5. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Regardless of your geography, you retain full sovereignty over your personal data:
- The right to request a copy of any personal data stored about you.
- The right to request immediate correction or permanent deletion of your contact communications.
- The right to withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any point.
To exercise any of these rights, email me directly at martinmwai@icloud.com.
