Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
Welcome to nickrogoff.com ("we", "us", "our", or the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our Site. By accessing or using the Site, you accept the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information:
- Personal Data: Information you provide directly to us, such as your name and email address when you use the contact form or reach out directly.
- Chat Widget Data: This Site includes an AI-powered chat widget. Conversations submitted through the widget may be logged for the purpose of responding to inquiries and improving the tool.
- Usage Data and Automatically Collected Data: We may automatically collect certain information about your device, browsing actions, and patterns when you access the Site (for example: IP address, device type, browser type, pages visited, time stamps).
- Server Logs: Cloudflare, our infrastructure provider, may retain basic, aggregated edge logs (request counts, regions, status codes) for security and reliability purposes. We do not run third-party advertising or behavioral analytics on this Site.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for purposes including:
- To respond to your inquiries and provide information about my work and experience.
- To operate and maintain the Site and the AI chat widget.
- To monitor and improve the Site and your experience.
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or malicious activity.
4. Third-Party Services
This Site is delivered through, and integrates with, the following third-party services. Each operates under its own privacy policy, linked below:
- Cloudflare — hosting, CDN, DNS, and edge compute (Workers) for the Site. Cloudflare may process IP addresses and request metadata to deliver and secure traffic. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
- Anthropic (Claude API) — powers the AI chat widget. Messages you submit through the chat are sent to Anthropic to generate a response. See Anthropic's privacy policy.
- Google Fonts — webfonts (Inter, JetBrains Mono, IBM Plex) are loaded from Google's servers, which receive your IP address as part of normal HTTP requests. See Google's privacy policy.
We may also disclose information if required by law or in response to lawful requests by public authorities (such as a court or government agency).
5. Cookies and Local Storage
This Site does not set tracking or advertising cookies. The following client-side storage may be used:
- sessionStorage — the AI chat widget stores your in-progress conversation in your browser's session storage so it persists across page loads in the same tab. It is cleared when you close the tab and is never transmitted to us beyond the messages you choose to send.
- Operational cookies set by Cloudflare — Cloudflare may set short-lived cookies (such as
__cf_bm) to distinguish humans from bots and protect the Site. These are not used for advertising or cross-site tracking.
You can clear local storage and cookies at any time through your browser settings. Blocking these may degrade chat persistence or bot protection but will not prevent you from using the Site.
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights concerning your personal information, such as:
- Right to access – request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Right to correction – request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right to deletion – request that we delete your personal information.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected] and we will respond as required by applicable law.
8. Children's Privacy
Our Site is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected such information without parental consent, we will delete it.
9. Links to Other Websites
Our Site may contain links to third-party websites and services that are not owned or controlled by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top will be updated accordingly. Your continued use of the Site after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the modified policy.
