What happens to what you send me.

Last updated

This is my own site and there is no team behind it. This page says what the site collects, where each piece goes, how long it stays there, and how to have yours deleted. It describes what the site does today. If that changes, this page changes with it.

The short version

Reading this site collects nothing about you beyond what any web host sees in order to deliver a page. No analytics is installed, and the site sets no cookies of its own.

What I hold is what you choose to send me: through the contact form, the assessment form, email or WhatsApp. I use it to reply to you and, for an assessment, to prepare and send it. I do not sell it, and I do not add you to a mailing list.

Reading the site

The site is served by Cloudflare. Like any host, Cloudflare handles the technical details every request carries, such as your IP address and the browser you use, to deliver the page and to protect the site from attacks. I have added no analytics or logging of my own on top of that.

The fonts and images come from this site too, so reading a page sends nothing to Google Fonts or any other outside service. The one exception is a single page after the assessment form, described under the Meta pixel below.

The blog is written in Sanity, a content service. Posts are copied into the site when it is built, so reading one does not contact Sanity, and Sanity holds nothing about visitors.

The contact form

The form on the contact page asks for your name, your email address, what you are building and your timeline. When you send it, it goes from your browser to Web3Forms, a form delivery service, which emails it to me.

Web3Forms keeps its copy for 30 days on the plan I use, then deletes it. The email stays in my inbox as the record of our conversation. I do not delete these on a schedule, but I will delete yours whenever you ask.

To stop the form being used for spam, your browser remembers the times of the messages it has sent in the last hour, in its own local storage. Only the times, never what you wrote, and they never leave your browser.

The assessment form

The assessment form on the business and property pages asks for your name and email address. It also asks, if you want to say, for your company, your role, a WhatsApp number, your website and any other links to your business online. Then it asks what the biggest problem is, what success would look like, and when you want the work done.

When you send it, your answers go to a small script I run on Google Apps Script. It adds them as one row in a Google Sheet in my Google account, with the time you sent it and which of the two pages you used, and emails me a notification. From your timeline and whether you gave a company, a website or a link, it also decides which of two thank you pages you see. As I prepare your assessment, I add my own notes to the same row.

I keep the row and the email with no end date, because they are my record of your assessment. Google stores them as part of my account. I will delete both whenever you ask.

While you fill the form in, your browser keeps your answers in its session storage, so a reload does not lose them. They stay in your browser and reach nobody until you press send. They are removed when the form is sent or when you close the tab. After a successful send the browser also holds a single marker, so the thank you page knows the request really went through. The page removes it as soon as it reads it.

The Meta pixel

I advertise the business and property pages on Facebook and Instagram. So that Meta can tell which adverts lead to a request, the site can carry Meta’s advertising pixel on one page: the thank you page shown after some assessment requests. It runs on no other page.

When it runs, your browser loads a script from Meta, which records a visit to that page and, straight after a request, that a request was made. Meta receives the technical details that come with any request, can set its own cookie, and may connect the visit to a Facebook or Instagram account if you are signed in. The pixel is given none of your answers: not your name, not your email, nothing you typed into the form.

Meta handles that data under its own privacy policy, and it is Meta’s to delete, not mine. A content blocker stops the pixel loading, and your Facebook and Instagram advert settings control how Meta uses it.

Email and WhatsApp

If you email me or message me on WhatsApp, I receive what you send along with your address or number. I keep it as the record of our conversation and delete it when you ask. WhatsApp and my email provider carry those messages under their own terms.

Who sees it

Me. There is no team, so what you send is read by the person who replies to it. Apart from the services named on this page, which carry or store it for me, I do not share it, sell it or pass it on.

Seeing or deleting yours

Email me at hello@chukwumaukaha.com and tell me the address or number you used. I will send you a copy of what I hold, or delete it: the Sheet row, the emails and the WhatsApp messages. I will reply within one working day and confirm in writing when it is done.

The copy at Web3Forms deletes itself after 30 days. What Meta holds about a visit is held by Meta, and its own settings are the way to remove it.

When this changes

No analytics is installed today. If I add analytics, or any other service that handles visitor data, this page will say so, and the date at the top will change.
