Privacy Policy
Last updated: 17 July 2026
This website is a personal site operated by Darrel Bella (“I”, “me”, or “the site”). This policy explains what information is collected when you visit, how it is used, and the choices you have. I aim to collect as little personal information as possible.
Information I collect
Information you give me. If you use the contact form, you provide your name, email address, and your message. This is used only to read and respond to you at my discretion.
Information collected automatically. As with most websites, my hosting provider may automatically record standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and the date and time of your visit. This helps keep the site secure and running.
Cookies. The site itself does not set marketing or tracking cookies. Essential cookies may be used by the underlying platform to keep the site functioning. If analytics or other services are added in future, this policy will be updated.
Third-party services
To operate the site I rely on a small number of trusted providers who may process limited data on my behalf:
- Web hosting, which stores the site and processes server logs.
- Web3Forms, which delivers contact-form messages to my inbox, so your submission passes through their service in order for me to receive it.
- Google Fonts, which serves the typefaces used on the site and may receive your IP address as part of loading those fonts.
I do not sell your personal information, and I do not share it except as needed to operate the site or where required by law.
How I use your information
- To respond to your enquiries and communicate with you.
- To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the site.
- To comply with legal obligations.
Data retention
Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to correspond with you and for reasonable record-keeping, after which they may be deleted. You can ask me to delete your message at any time.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information I hold about you, or to object to or restrict its use. To make a request, contact me through the form on the site, and I will respond as required by applicable law.
International visitors
The site can be accessed from around the world, and any information you provide may be processed in countries other than your own. By using the site, you understand that your information may be handled in this way.
Children
This site is not directed at children, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
I may update this policy from time to time. The date shown above indicates when it was most recently revised.
