Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information VincentCharleston.com collects, how it's used, and what choices you have. This site does not have user accounts, a comment section, or e-commerce functionality — the information below reflects the actual features on this site.
Information You Provide
Contact Form
When you submit the contact form, the information you enter (name, email address, and message) is sent directly to vincent@vincentcharleston.com via secure SMTP email delivery. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not added to any marketing list, sold, or shared with third parties.
Scheduling a Meeting
If you book a meeting using the calendar tool on the Contact page, that booking is handled directly by TidyCal, a third-party scheduling service. TidyCal collects the information you provide during booking (such as name, email, and meeting time) under its own privacy policy, available at tidycal.com. VincentCharleston.com does not separately store this information beyond what's visible in the resulting calendar confirmation.
Information Collected Automatically
This site does not use advertising trackers, third-party ad networks, or sell any data. Standard server-level logs (such as IP address and browser type) may be automatically recorded by the hosting provider for security and performance purposes, consistent with standard web server operation. This site does not currently use Google Analytics or similar visitor-tracking tools; if that changes, this policy will be updated to reflect it.
Cookies
This site does not use tracking or advertising cookies. Any cookies present are limited to those required for basic site functionality (such as WordPress security cookies) and, where applicable, cookies set by the TidyCal booking widget to support its scheduling interface.
Downloads
The résumé (PDF) available in the site footer and Contact page can be downloaded without providing any personal information.
Email Delivery
Contact form submissions are routed through IONOS SMTP for reliable delivery to vincent@vincentcharleston.com. This is a delivery mechanism only — it does not store or process your information beyond transmitting the message.
Data Retention
Contact form messages are retained in the site owner's email inbox for as long as reasonably needed to respond to and maintain a record of the inquiry. You may request deletion of any correspondence at any time (see "Your Rights" below).
Your Rights
You may contact vincent@vincentcharleston.com at any time to:
- Ask what information, if any, is held about you
- Request that your contact form correspondence be deleted
- Ask questions about this policy
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and no information is knowingly collected from children.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes to the site's features or integrations. The "Last updated" date above will reflect the most recent revision.
