Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 28, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected on maryjesse.com, how it is used, and your rights — including rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. What We Collect

If you use the contact form on this site, you provide your name, email address, and message directly. No other personal information is collected. We do not purchase data or collect information from any other source.

2. How We Use Your Information

Contact form submissions are used solely to respond to your inquiry. Messages are delivered by email and are not stored in a database on this site.

3. Sharing Your Information

Your information is not sold or rented. It is shared only with the email delivery service used to transmit your message (Resend), and only to the extent necessary to deliver it. It may also be disclosed if required by law.

4. Cookies and Third-Party Services

This site does not use first-party tracking cookies and does not run advertising networks or behavioral profiling. The following third-party services are used:

  • Google Analytics — If you accept cookies, this site uses Google Analytics to understand aggregate visitor behavior. It sets cookies (_ga, _gid) that persist for up to 2 years and sends anonymized data to Google. No analytics data is collected if you decline. You can also opt out at any time via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • Cloudflare Turnstile — The contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile for spam protection. Cloudflare may collect your IP address and browser signals to verify you are human. No personal form data is sent to Cloudflare. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
  • Google Fonts — This site loads fonts from Google's servers, which means your IP address is transmitted to Google as part of the request. No cookies are set by Google Fonts.

Because this site does not use first-party tracking cookies and only loads Google Analytics with your explicit consent, no cookie consent banner is required for basic browsing. The banner appears solely for the optional analytics feature.

5. Lawful Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, personal data is processed on the following bases: consent (for analytics cookies, which you can withdraw at any time); and legitimate interests (for responding to contact form inquiries you initiate).

6. Data Retention

Contact form messages are not stored on this site's servers — they are delivered by email. Analytics data retention is governed by Google's standard policies.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access — request a copy of any data held about you.
  • Correction — ask that inaccurate information be corrected.
  • Deletion — ask that your data be deleted.
  • Restriction — ask that use of your data be limited.
  • Portability — receive your data in a portable format.
  • Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests.
  • Withdraw consent — withdraw consent for analytics at any time by clearing your browser's local storage.
  • Opt out of sale — your data is not sold, but California residents have this right under CCPA regardless.

To exercise any of these rights, email contact@maryjesse.com. If you are in the EEA or UK and believe your concern has not been addressed, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

8. Security

Reasonable safeguards are used to protect any data transmitted through this site. However, no system is completely secure.

9. Updates

This policy may be updated from time to time. Significant changes will be noted with an updated effective date.
