Contact-form information

If you use the contact form, the information you submit (such as your name, email address, and message) is sent to us through Formspree, a third-party form-processing service. Formspree may process and temporarily store submissions in order to deliver them to us. Their handling of that data is governed by Formspree's own privacy policy.

Hosting and security logs

Our website host and any content-delivery or security providers we use (such as protections against malicious traffic) may automatically log standard technical information, which can include IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited, and timestamps. This information is collected for security, performance, and website-operation purposes.
