Privacy policy
What happens to what you write to me, told plainly.
Who handles your data
I do, Laia Chorro, the person behind this site. You can write to me at hola@laiachorro.dev.
What I collect and why
Only what you type into the contact form: your name, your email, your website if you add it, the reason and your message. With it I also get the language of the site, the page you write from, the first page you saw and where you came from (for example "google" or "linkedin"), with nothing that identifies you. I use it to answer you and, if you ask for a quote, to prepare it. There are no mailing lists and no advertising, and I do not pass your data on to anyone.
Why I can use it
Because you write to me to ask for information or a quote. The GDPR calls this taking steps at your request before entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b)).
Where it ends up
The form sends me an email and that is all: this site keeps no messages in any database. To slow down spam it remembers your IP address for a while, in memory only, without writing it anywhere.
Who else touches it
Vercel, which hosts the site and runs the form, and Resend, which sends the email from Ireland, both under a data processing agreement. The email then reaches my inbox through ImprovMX, which forwards hola@laiachorro.dev, and I read it in Gmail (Google). Vercel and Google are US companies.
How long I keep it
If your message does not lead to a project, I delete it within a year. If we work together, I keep it for as long as the project lasts and then for as long as the law requires.
What you can ask me
To see what I hold about you, correct it, delete it, restrict it, object to my using it or take it with you. Write to me and I will do it. If you think I have not handled it properly, you can complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (aepd.es).
Cookies
This site has no advertising and no tracking cookies, so there is no banner. I count visits with Vercel Web Analytics, which stores anonymised data and uses no cookies, and a few clicks the same way: the contact button, sending the form and downloading the CV. All that stays in your browser is the language you read it in, the theme if you change the colours on the portfolio page and, until you close the tab (sessionStorage), which site you came from and the first page you saw. That last part never leaves your browser unless you write to me. In my own browsers I also keep a flag in localStorage so that my own visits are not counted. There is nothing to accept or decline.
