Last Updated: September 3, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, store, protect, and share personal information you provide through https://www.kayleeconley.com. By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy. I am committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring your information remains secure.

Who We Are

home-arrow
Our website address is: https://www.kayleeconley.com. This is a portfolio website showcasing my web development work, operated by Kaylee Conley, a freelance web developer based in Florida.

Information We Collect

I collect personal information in the following ways:

  • Contact Form: When you submit the contact form on the Contact page, I collect your:
    • Name (to address you personally)
    • Email address (to respond to your inquiries)
    • Message (to understand and address your request)
  • Comments: If you leave a comment on the website (e.g., on a blog post), I collect the data entered in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam. If you use a Gravatar, an anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have a profile picture associated with it. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Approved comments may display your profile picture publicly alongside your comment.
  • Media: If you upload images to the website (e.g., through a comment or form), avoid including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors may download and extract this data.
  • Cookies:
    • If you leave a comment and opt-in to save your details, cookies may store your name, email, and website for convenience, lasting one year.

How We Use Your Information

Your personal information is used solely for:

  • Responding to inquiries or messages submitted via the contact form.
  • Managing and displaying comments on the website, including spam detection.
  • Providing a personalized experience if you interact with comment features.

I do not use your data for marketing, analytics, or any purpose beyond what is necessary to respond to you or manage website functionality.

Who We Share Your Data With

I do not sell, trade, rent, or share your personal information with third parties, except in these cases:

  • Service Providers: Trusted third parties (e.g., website hosting or email providers) may process your data to support contact form functionality or spam detection (e.g., automated spam detection services for comments). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the services I request.
  • Legal Obligations: If required by law, such as to comply with a court order, subpoena, or other legal process under Florida or federal law.

In accordance with the Florida Digital Bill of Rights, I do not sell your personal information or share it for targeted advertising.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

This website may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or links to social media platforms like Facebook, or Instagram). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the third-party website directly. These sites may collect data, use cookies, or track your interactions, especially if you’re logged into their services. Please review their privacy policies for details.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Contact Form Data: Information from the contact form (name, email, message) is retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, typically no longer than 30 days, unless further communication is needed.
  • Comments: Comments and their metadata (e.g., IP address) are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically, avoiding moderation queues.
  • Cookies: Cookie retention periods are outlined in the “Cookies” section above.

Your Rights Over Your Data

  • Under Florida law, including the Florida Digital Bill of Rights, and general privacy principles, you have the following rights:
    • Access: Request a copy of the personal data I hold about you.
    • Correction: Request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete data.
    • Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data, except for data I must retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
    • Opt-Out: If applicable, opt out of data processing for targeted advertising, sales, or profiling (note: I do not engage in these practices).
    To exercise these rights, contact me at Conleywebdev@gmail.com or via the Contact page. I will respond promptly, typically within 30 days, as required by Florida law.

Data Security

  • I take reasonable measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Data is stored securely on a secure server managed by DreamHost. However, no online transmission or storage is 100% secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.

Where Your Data Is Sent

  • Contact form data is processed on servers managed by my hosting provider, which may be located in the United States.
  • Comments may be checked by an automated spam detection service, which may involve transferring your IP address or browser data to the service provider.
  • If you interact with embedded content, data may be sent to third-party platforms (e.g., Facebook, or Instagram) as described in their privacy policies.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in my practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted here with a revised “Last Updated” date. Please check back periodically.
