Christy Pyrz (“I,” “me,” or “my”) respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how information may be collected and used when you visit this website.
This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected through this website, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.
Information You Provide
You may choose to provide personal information when you contact me through the website.
This may include:
- Your name
- Your email address
- The contents of your message
- Any additional information you choose to include in your inquiry
This information is used only to review and respond to your inquiry, communicate with you about a potential role, project, consulting engagement, or other professional matter, and maintain appropriate records of those communications.
Please do not submit sensitive personal, financial, medical, or confidential information through the contact form.
WordPress.com forms can store responses in the site dashboard and may also send form submissions by email. WordPress.com advises that forms are not intended for collecting sensitive information such as credit card details.
Contact Form and Spam Protection
This website is hosted on WordPress.com and uses WordPress.com form functionality.
Form submissions may be processed and stored by WordPress.com and related services used to operate the site. WordPress.com also automatically uses Akismet to help detect and filter spam submissions.
Information submitted through the contact form is not sold to advertisers or data brokers by me.
How I Use Your Information
Information you provide may be used to:
- Respond to your message or inquiry
- Evaluate whether a professional opportunity, consulting engagement, or freelance project may be a good fit
- Send follow-up questions or questionnaires related to your inquiry
- Communicate about next steps when appropriate
- Maintain records of professional correspondence
- Protect the website from misuse, fraud, or spam
I do not use contact-form submissions to automatically enroll you in marketing emails or newsletters.
Email Communications
If you contact me through this website, I may respond using the email address you provide.
Submitting a contact form does not automatically subscribe you to marketing communications.
If a newsletter or blog subscription feature is added to this website in the future, subscription will be voluntary and separate from the contact form. Any subscription emails will include an option to unsubscribe.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the operation, security, performance, and functionality of the site.
Because the website is hosted through WordPress.com, WordPress.com and its service providers may place cookies or collect technical information when visitors access the site. WordPress.com provides tools for displaying a cookie-consent notice and explaining the use of cookies.
Depending on the features used on this website, cookies may support functions such as:
- Website security
- Spam prevention
- Site preferences
- Performance measurement
- Analytics
- Embedded content
- Login or administrative functions
You may be able to manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Some site features may not function properly if certain cookies are disabled.
For additional information about cookies used by WordPress.com, visitors may also review WordPress.com’s and Automattic’s own privacy and cookie notices.
Analytics and Technical Information
WordPress.com may automatically collect technical information related to site visits, such as browser type, device information, IP address, referring pages, approximate location information, and site interactions as part of hosting, security, analytics, or performance services.
I may use aggregated or non-identifying site statistics to understand how visitors use the website and to improve its content and performance.
If additional analytics or advertising tools are added in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.
Third-Party Links
This website may contain links to third-party websites or platforms, including LinkedIn.
When you leave this website and visit a third-party service, that service’s own privacy policies and practices apply.
I am not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites.
Embedded Content
Future blog posts, portfolio pages, or other areas of the site may include embedded content such as videos, social media posts, or external media.
Embedded content from another website may behave similarly to visiting that website directly and may allow the third party to collect information or use cookies according to its own privacy practices.
How Information May Be Shared
I do not sell personal information collected through this website.
Information may be disclosed only when reasonably necessary to:
- Operate or maintain the website
- Use service providers involved in hosting, spam filtering, email delivery, or website functionality
- Respond to your request or inquiry
- Protect against fraud, misuse, or security threats
- Comply with a legal obligation, court order, or valid governmental request
WordPress.com and other service providers may process information on my behalf as part of providing their services.
Data Retention
I may retain contact-form submissions and related correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to:
- Respond to your inquiry
- Maintain professional records
- Follow up regarding a potential opportunity or project
- Resolve disputes
- Meet legal, accounting, or administrative obligations
Information that is no longer reasonably needed may be deleted.
WordPress.com may also retain certain information according to its own policies and technical requirements.
Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights regarding your personal information, including the ability to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information.
WordPress.com also provides mechanisms for privacy-related requests concerning data it processes through its platform.
If you would like to ask what personal information I have received from you through this website, request a correction, or request deletion, you may contact me using the method listed below.
Certain information may need to be retained where required by law or for legitimate administrative, security, or recordkeeping purposes.
California Privacy
California privacy laws provide certain rights to residents when those laws apply to a particular business.
The California Consumer Privacy Act generally applies only to businesses that meet specified thresholds, such as annual revenue above $25 million, handling personal information relating to 100,000 or more California residents or households, or deriving at least 50% of annual revenue from selling California residents’ personal information.
I do not sell personal information collected through this website.
If applicable law provides you with additional privacy rights, you may contact me to exercise those rights.
Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for professional and general informational purposes and is not directed toward children.
I do not knowingly attempt to collect personal information from children through this website.
If you believe a child has provided personal information through the site, please contact me so that the information can be reviewed and, where appropriate, deleted.
Data Security
Reasonable measures are used to help protect information submitted through this website.
However, no website, email system, or method of internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should avoid sending highly sensitive or confidential information through the website contact form.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated as the website evolves, including when new features such as analytics, newsletters, subscriptions, embedded services, or other tools are introduced.
The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
WordPress recommends reviewing and updating privacy disclosures as site practices and applicable requirements change.
