What happens to anything you send me. Written so you can actually read it.
If you fill out a form, I get an email with what you wrote and I use it to reply. That's the whole thing. I don't sell it, I don't add you to a list, and there is no tracking on this site.
Only what you type into a form yourself. Depending on which one:
If you never submit a form, I never collect anything about you.
That is also why there is no cookie banner. There is nothing to consent to.
When you hit send, your answers travel over an encrypted connection to a company called Web3Forms, which turns them into an email and delivers it to my inbox. I use them because I don't run my own server.
In privacy terms I'm the one responsible for your data and Web3Forms handles it for me. Here is everyone who touches it:
| Who | What they get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Web3Forms | Everything you submitted | Turns it into an email and sends it to me. Stored encrypted on Amazon Web Services and deleted automatically after three years at the latest. |
| Spam filters | Your IP address and email | Web3Forms uses CleanTalk and Akismet to block spam and phishing so real messages reach me. |
| Google, Gmail | The email itself | My inbox is a Gmail account. Same as if you had emailed me directly. |
| Vercel | Standard server logs | They host this site. Like every web host their servers log IP addresses and request times. That happens on any site you visit. |
| Google Fonts | Your IP address | One typeface on this site loads from Google Fonts, so your browser makes a request to Google to fetch it. |
Your message sits in my Gmail until I delete it, the same as any other email I've ever received. Web3Forms deletes their copy automatically after three years at the outside.
If you would rather I didn't keep it at all, say so and I'll delete it.
I read it and I reply. That is the entire purpose.
I will never sell your information, rent it, trade it, or hand it to anyone for marketing. I won't add you to a newsletter you didn't ask for. If we end up working together, I'll only use your details to do the work.
Email me at ronankschuster@gmail.com and I'll do any of these, no questions asked:
Depending on where you live, laws like the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA in California may already give you these rights. I'd do it anyway, so it doesn't much matter which bucket you fall into.
Please don't submit these forms without a parent or guardian involved. I'm not trying to collect information from kids, and if I find out I have, I'll delete it.
This site points you to Instagram, TikTok, SoundCloud, YouTube, and GitHub. Once you land on any of those you're in their world and their privacy policies apply, not mine. I have no control over what they collect.
I'll update the date at the top. If something changes in a way that matters I'll say so plainly rather than quietly editing a paragraph.
Just ask. ronankschuster@gmail.com. I answer everything.
