Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 7, 2026
Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how jamestannahill.com (the "Site") collects, uses, and handles information when you visit or interact with it. The Site is a personal professional website. It does not operate user accounts, does not set tracking cookies, and does not engage in behavioral advertising.
By using the Site, you acknowledge the practices described in this Policy.
Information We Collect
The only personal information collected through this Site is what you voluntarily submit via the contact form. This may include:
- Full name
- Email address
- Phone number (optional)
- Subject and message content
Contact form submissions are transmitted directly to the Site owner's private email inbox via Amazon Web Services Simple Email Service (SES). They are not stored in any database, not logged to any analytics platform, and not retained by any third-party service beyond the email delivery pipeline.
What We Do Not Collect
This Site does not use cookies, tracking pixels, or analytics software of any kind. Specifically:
- No cookies are set in your browser by this Site
- No analytics platform (e.g., Google Analytics, Mixpanel) is present
- No advertising networks or retargeting pixels are installed
- No user accounts or login systems exist
- No personal data is stored in any database operated by or on behalf of this Site
Infrastructure & Server Logs
Static assets, video content, and site files are served through Amazon CloudFront (AWS). Per AWS default behavior, CloudFront and related infrastructure may capture standard server-side logs that include IP addresses, request timestamps, and browser user-agent strings. These logs are incidental to infrastructure operation, are not used for marketing or profiling purposes, and are governed by Amazon's Privacy Policy.
How We Use Your Information
Contact form submissions are used solely to respond to the inquiry submitted. Your information is not sold, rented, licensed, or shared with any third parties for commercial or marketing purposes. It will not be used to build profiles, target advertising, or contact you for any purpose unrelated to your original message.
Data Retention
Because contact form submissions go directly to the Site owner's private email inbox, retention is governed by standard email practices. There is no automated deletion schedule. If you wish to request deletion of a prior submission, contact web@jamestannahill.com.
European Visitors (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable UK data protection law with respect to any personal data you submit:
- Right of access — you may request confirmation of whether your data is held and receive a copy
- Right to rectification — you may request correction of inaccurate data
- Right to erasure — you may request deletion of your data
- Right to restrict processing — you may request that processing be limited
- Right to object — you may object to processing based on legitimate interests
To exercise any of these rights, contact web@jamestannahill.com. Requests will be honored within 30 days. Note that because the Site does not maintain a database, the practical scope of most requests is limited to email correspondence already in the inbox.
