Privacy

Last updated November 2026

This is a plain description of how this personal website handles information. It is not legal advice, and it was not written by an attorney. There is no account to create. The main automatic collection on the site is Google Analytics, which is connected as described below.

01

What this covers

This notice covers this website only. It describes information the site receives when you browse it, email me, or use a payment page. It does not cover LinkedIn, GitHub, Google, Stripe, or any other site you open from a link here. Those sites have their own notices.

02

What I collect directly

You can read the site without giving me your name, email, or any other personal details. I do not run user accounts on this site.

Email
If you email me, I receive whatever you send, including your address and message, and I use it to reply.
Payments
If a page on this site takes a payment, card details are entered with Stripe, not stored by me. Stripe’s own notice is at https://stripe.com/privacy.
03

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is connected to this site. Pages load Google’s tag (gtag.js) with measurement ID G-4T25F4YL5V. That tag sends visit information to Google so I can see, in summary, which pages people open and how the site is used. Opening the public work, the shop ranges, or the contact page is also recorded as a step on that path. I do not use it to sell data or to show ads.

With this standard setup, Google Analytics collects:

Pages and visits
The page address and title, the date and time, how you arrived (such as another website or a direct visit), and roughly how long the visit lasts.
Device and browser
Browser type, device type (phone, tablet, or computer), operating system, screen size, and language.
Approximate location
A general location such as country, region, and city, derived from your IP address. Google Analytics 4 does not store your full IP address.
A browser identifier
A random ID saved in first-party cookies, usually named _ga and _ga_4T25F4YL5V, so later visits from the same browser can be counted together. That ID is not your name or email.
Basic interactions
Actions Google Analytics records by default, including page views, scrolls, clicks on links that leave this site, and file downloads.

Google processes that information under its own policies: https://policies.google.com/privacy and How Google uses information from sites that use Google Analytics.

04

Your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser, which limits what Google Analytics can store. You can also use a browser extension that blocks analytics, or Google’s opt-out add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The site still works if you do that.

05

Other websites

Links from this site go to places I do not control. Once you leave, that site’s own privacy notice applies.

06

Changes

If I change what this page says, I will update the date at the top. The current text is the one that applies.

07

Terms

Last updated October 2026

These are plain notes about using this personal website. They are a general description, not a formal contract, and they were not written by an attorney.

01

Using the site

You are welcome to browse the portfolio, resume, and other pages. Please don’t misuse the site: don’t try to break it, don’t send spam or harmful code, and don’t copy the pages in bulk.

02

Design system and project images

This site is based on Google Material Design 3, Google’s open source design system.

Many projects were done with other people. Clients and partners are credited in the architecture section, and those images may belong to the firm, the client, or a photographer. Please don’t republish that work. Sharing a link to this site is fine.

03

Not professional advice

The writing and images here are general information about past work. They are not architectural, engineering, or other professional advice. Sending an email does not create a client relationship unless we agree to one separately in writing.

05

The site as it is

I publish this site as a personal portfolio. I try to keep it accurate and available, but I can’t promise it will always be up, complete, or free of mistakes.

06

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri.

07
