What data is collected
This site collects personal data in two places, both entirely voluntary:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your message
- An optional topic (project, workshop, speaking, or general enquiry)
- Your email address (required)
- Your first name (optional)
No other data is collected. There are no accounts and no tracking pixels on this site.
How it is used
When you submit the contact form, your message is forwarded directly to my inbox via Resend , a transactional email service. Resend processes the data solely to deliver the message; it does not use your data for advertising or any other purpose.
When you sign up for the newsletter, your name and email address are stored in Beehiiv, the newsletter platform I use to send issues. Beehiiv processes your data solely to deliver the newsletter; it does not sell your data or use it for advertising.
Your data is never sold, rented, or shared with any third party beyond Resend's and Beehiiv's delivery roles.
Data retention
Contact form data: this site stores nothing server-side. Once Resend delivers your message to my inbox, it lives there subject to my personal email retention practices. If you would like your message deleted, contact me and I will remove it promptly.
Newsletter data: your name and email are retained in Beehiiv for as long as you remain subscribed. Every newsletter email includes a one-click unsubscribe link at the bottom. You can also email me to request deletion of your subscriber record, and I will action it within 30 days.
Cookies & analytics
This site does not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies. No cookie consent banner is shown because none is needed.
Vercel, the hosting platform, may collect anonymised performance metrics (Core Web Vitals) via Speed Insights. This data is aggregated and not linked to any individual.
Your rights (GDPR)
If you are based in the European Economic Area, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data held about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Object to processing
To exercise any of these rights, email hi@dcarral.com. I will respond within 30 days.
