Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 17, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is handled on jessejamesrichard.com (the "site"), a personal website and technical blog run by Jesse James Richard ("I," "me," or "my"). The site is hosted on Giant Context, which provides the infrastructure and tools the site runs on.
What I collect
I collect only what you give me and what the site needs to run:
- Contact form. When you use the contact form, I collect your name, email address, and message, so that I can read and reply to you.
- Cookies and basic analytics. The site uses a small number of cookies to work and to understand aggregate traffic, such as which pages are visited and roughly where visitors come from. This does not identify you personally.
I do not sell your information, and I do not run advertising trackers.
How I use it
- To read and respond to messages you send me.
- To keep the site working, and to improve what I write based on which pages people read.
Who processes it
Your information is processed by Giant Context as the hosting platform, and by the standard infrastructure services the platform runs on, such as cloud hosting, storage, and email delivery. They handle it only to keep the site running, not for their own purposes.
Your choices
- You can ask me what information I hold about you, or ask me to delete it, by emailing j@jessejamesrichard.com.
- You can control cookies through your browser settings.
- If you have sent me a message and no longer want me to keep it, tell me and I will remove it.
Where this applies
I am based in Canada, and the site is operated from Canada. If you contact me from elsewhere, your information may be handled in Canada and wherever the hosting platform operates.
Changes
If this policy changes, I will update the effective date at the top. Your continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
