Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 5 2025


Kevin Haynes (“we,” “our,” or “I”) respects your privacy. This notice explains what personal information is collected on this portfolio site, how it is used, and the choices you have.
 

1 — Who is collecting your data?

  • Site owner: Kevin Haynes, Geospatial Information Officer

  • Email: kevin.b.haynes@gmail.com

  • Hosting platform: Wix.com (provides infrastructure, storage, and security)
     

2 — What information do we collect?

Contact details

  • What: name, email address, phone (optional), message content

  • How: only when you submit the contact form or email us

Usage data

  • What: IP address, browser, device type, pages visited, time on page

Cookies and similar technologies

  • What: site preferences, session IDs, analytics cookies

  • How: set by Wix or third-party services (see § 5 for details)
     

3 — How we use your information

  1. Respond to enquiries you send via the contact form or email.

  2. Maintain and improve site performance, security, and content relevance.

  3. Analyze aggregated, anonymous trends (never to profile individual visitors).

  4. Comply with legal obligations such as record-keeping and security monitoring.
     

4 — Legal bases (GDPR and similar laws)

  • Replying to your enquiry: processed with your consent (you choose to provide the data).

  • Basic analytics and security logging: processed under legitimate interest (to keep the site working and improve it).

  • Marketing emails: sent only with your explicit consent (opt-in).
     

5 — Cookies & tracking technologies

  • Essential cookies (Wix): keep the site secure and balanced; expire at the end of your session or within 12 months.

  • Analytics cookies (Wix / Google Analytics): count visits and see which pages perform best; typically last from 1 day to 24 months.

  • Embedded-content cookies (YouTube, ArcGIS, Google Fonts, etc.): deliver videos, maps, and fonts; lifespan set by each provider.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser at any time. Visitors from the EU or UK will see a banner that lets them reject non-essential cookies.
 

6 — Third-party recipients

We share data only with:

  • Wix.com Ltd. — hosting, content management, basic analytics (servers located in Israel and global CDNs).

  • Google LLC — optional Google Analytics (United States; protected by Standard Contractual Clauses).

  • Embedded-content providers such as YouTube, ArcGIS Online, and Google Fonts — used to display interactive media.

We never sell or trade your personal data for advertising.
 

7 — International transfers

Because Wix and Google operate global infrastructure, your information may be processed outside your country. Standard Contractual Clauses or other recognized safeguards apply where required.
 

8 — Data retention

  • Contact-form submissions are kept for up to 12 months after our last correspondence, then deleted.

  • Server and analytics logs are retained for 26 months or less.

  • Cookies expire as described in § 5 or sooner if you clear them.
     

9 — Security measures

  • HTTPS is enforced across the entire site.

  • Data is stored on secure, firewall-protected Wix servers.

  • Administrative access is password-protected and limited to the site owner.
     

10 — Your rights

Depending on your location (EU/EEA, UK, California, Colorado, Texas, Florida, etc.), you may have the right to:

  • Access or request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

  • Correct inaccurate data.

  • Delete your data (“right to be forgotten”).

  • Object to or restrict certain processing.

  • Opt out of any sale or sharing of personal data (we do not sell data).

  • Port your data to another provider.

  • Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise any right, email kevin.b.haynes@gmail.com. We aim to respond within 30 days.
