Privacy Policy

Last updated: 28 May 2026

Overview

This is a personal website. It does not require accounts, contain forms, accept user-generated content, or collect personally identifiable information beyond the minimum that any web server logs by default. This policy explains what data is collected and how it's used.

What's collected

Anonymous usage analytics. This site uses Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights. Both services:

• Collect aggregate, anonymous page-view counts (referrer, country, device class, browser family, URL)
• Do not set cookies
• Do not store personally identifiable information
• Do not fingerprint visitors
• Respect the Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control browser signals

Server logs. Standard HTTP logs (IP address, user agent, request URL, timestamp) are retained by Vercel for operational and security purposes. These are not used for advertising, profiling, or analytics beyond the minimum required to operate the service.

Email. When you contact me via the email link on the homepage or social profiles, normal email rules apply. Your address is not added to any list. It is not shared with third parties.

Embedded content

The homepage embeds a Substack subscribe form for The Compositor. If you interact with that form (for example, by subscribing), Substack's privacy policy governs that interaction. See substack.com/privacy.

Third parties involved

• Vercel — hosts the site and provides analytics. Privacy policy at vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
• Substack — provides the embedded subscribe widget. Privacy policy at substack.com/privacy.
• Cloudflare — manages DNS for this domain. Privacy policy at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

No other third-party services have access to visitor data. There is no advertising network, no cross-site tracking pixel, no retargeting.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (EU, UK, California, Colorado, and other jurisdictions), you may have rights under applicable privacy law including the right to access, correct, or delete personal information held about you. Because this site does not maintain user accounts or records about visitors, there is typically nothing to access or delete — but if you have questions, email hi@iamjustinwinter.com.

Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track

Both signals are respected. Visitors sending either signal will not be counted in Vercel Analytics or Speed Insights.

Changes

This policy may be updated as the site evolves. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent change. Material changes will be reflected in a clearly dated entry below.
