Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This website (michaelmassey.com) is a personal portfolio and professional homepage. I believe web privacy should be straightforward, honest, and respectful. This policy explains my practices in plain English.

2. Tracking, Analytics & Cookies

I do not track you. Specifically:

• I do not set advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or cross-site tracking beacons.
• I do not employ third-party behavioral analytics services (such as Google Analytics or Meta Pixel).
• Your theme preference (light vs. dark mode) is stored solely in your browser's local storage and is never transmitted anywhere.

3. Information You Provide

When you contact me via email or LinkedIn, I collect only the information you choose to share (such as your name, email address, and message contents). I use this information solely to communicate with you and discuss professional opportunities or technical inquiries.

4. Data Sharing & Sale

I do not sell, rent, lease, or monetize your personal information. Your contact details and correspondence will never be shared with data brokers, marketing lists, advertisers, or third parties.

5. Hosting & Infrastructure

This website is statically compiled and hosted via cloud infrastructure provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). Standard, non-identifying server access logs (such as IP addresses, browser user agents, and request timestamps) may be processed temporarily by AWS infrastructure exclusively for network security, DDoS protection, and operational reliability.
