This page explains what information this site collects, how it's stored, and who can see it. The short version: Dessie reads contact messages personally; nothing is sold or shared with advertisers; and you can ask her to delete your information at any time.

1. What we collect

When you use the contact form, we collect:

We do not use third-party analytics or advertising trackers, and we do not set advertising cookies.

2. Where it's stored

Your submission is stored in three places:

The site itself is hosted on Vercel. The admin area is gated by Clerk, which authenticates only Dessie's account — visitors do not have Clerk accounts on this site.

3. Who can see it

Only Dessie can see contact-form submissions through the admin dashboard on this site. The vendors listed above process data only as necessary to operate the service (delivering email, storing files, hosting the database).

We do not sell your information. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it for marketing.

4. How long it's kept

Contact submissions are kept indefinitely unless you ask for them to be deleted. If you want your message and any uploaded files removed, send a request through the contact page or email Dessie directly, and she will delete them.

5. What to avoid sending

Because no professional relationship exists between you and Dessie (see the Terms of Service), no privilege attaches to your communications. Please do not send Social Security numbers, financial-account credentials, or other highly sensitive information through the contact form. If something sensitive needs to be shared, contact Dessie first to arrange a more appropriate channel.

6. Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

7. Changes

This policy may be updated from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
