Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Bearded Bytes LLC (“Bearded Bytes,” “I,” “we”) collects through beardedbytes.com and how it’s used. The short version: I only collect what you choose to send me, I use it to respond to you, and I don’t sell it.
What I collect
- Information you submit. When you use the contact form or the contact-swap page at /connect, I receive what you enter — typically your name, email, phone number, company and message.
- Basic analytics. This site uses Google Analytics to understand which pages are visited and how people find the site. It records things like pages viewed, approximate location, device type and referring site, using cookies.
- Server logs. The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which keeps standard technical logs (such as IP address and browser type) for security and reliability.
How I use it
- To reply to your request, schedule a consultation and provide services you ask for.
- To understand which pages are useful and improve the site.
- To protect the site and forms from spam and abuse.
I don’t sell, rent or trade your personal information, and I don’t add you to marketing lists without your permission.
Services that process your information
A few trusted providers handle data on my behalf to make the site work:
- Cloudflare — website hosting and the service that processes the /connect form.
- Formspree — delivers contact-form submissions to my inbox.
- Resend — delivers /connect submissions to my inbox by email.
- Google — Google Analytics and Google Workspace email.
Each provider handles data under its own privacy policy.
Cookies and analytics choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and Google offers an opt-out browser add-on for Google Analytics. The site works normally without analytics cookies.
How long I keep it
Messages and contact details are kept as long as needed to respond and maintain a business relationship, and as required for normal business records. You can ask me to delete them at any time.
Your choices
You can ask to see, correct or delete the information you’ve sent me by emailing brendan@beardedbytes.com or calling (508) 243-7410.
