This Privacy Policy explains how hellomaddie.com ("the Site," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information from visitors. By using this Site, you agree to the practices described below.
hellomaddie.com is a portfolio website. This policy covers the personal information collected through the contact form, the newsletter signup, and any automatically collected data resulting from third-party embeds used on the Site.
When you submit the contact form, we collect:
This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address (and any additional information you provide during signup) is collected and stored through Kit, our email marketing platform. Kit processes this data on our behalf to send newsletter communications. You can review Kit's own privacy practices at their website, and you may unsubscribe at any time using the link provided in every email.
The Site uses Google Fonts to display custom typography. When a page loads, your browser may send a request directly to Google's servers to retrieve font files, which can include your IP address and browser information as part of standard web request behavior. We do not control this data collection directly; it is governed by Google's own privacy policy.
We do not currently use analytics or tracking tools. If Google Analytics or a similar service is added in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly, and the new section will describe what is collected and how.
We use the information collected to:
We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making or profiling.
The Site relies on the following third-party services, each with its own privacy practices:
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these providers for further detail on how they handle data.
The Site does not currently set its own cookies. Third-party embeds, such as Google Fonts, may involve standard server requests as described in Section 2, but this does not currently include cookie-based tracking on our part.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Information is shared only with the service providers named in this policy (Kit, Google Fonts) to the extent necessary for them to perform their function, or when required by law.
Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to and resolve your inquiry. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173), you have the right to be informed, to access your personal data, to object to processing, to correct inaccuracies, to erasure or blocking, to data portability, and to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 13.
Because our service providers (such as Kit and Google) may process data outside your country of residence, your information may be transferred to and processed in other jurisdictions. These providers maintain their own safeguards for cross-border data transfers.
This Site is not directed at children under 13 (or the relevant age of consent in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We take reasonable measures to protect the information submitted through the Site, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. The "Effective Date" at the top of this page will indicate when the latest revision was made.
