Privacy, in plain words.

This site collects as little as it can: what you send through the contact form, and anonymous counts of visits. No cookies, no advertising, no tracking across other sites.

Who's responsible

Pages by Alexa, run by Alexa, a web developer in Bucharest, Romania. For anything about your data, write to hello@pagesbyalexa.com.

The contact form

What's collected: your name, your email, your website if you add one, what you need, your rough budget and your message.

Why: to reply to you, because you asked me to, and if we work together, to plan the project.

Where it goes: the form sends your message by email through Brevo, an email service based in France, to hello@pagesbyalexa.com, which arrives in my Gmail inbox. Brevo also sends you the confirmation email.

How long it's kept: as long as our conversation and any project need it. Ask at any time and I'll delete it.

Spam: to stop bots, the form checks a hidden field and how quickly it was sent. Nothing else about you is checked.

Visit stats

What's collected: which pages are visited, what's clicked, how far people scroll, where visitors came from (a search, a link), the type of browser and device, and an approximate location (country and city) worked out from the visitor's IP address. The IP address itself isn't kept.

No cookies: nothing is stored on your device. Each visit counts on its own, so visits can't be linked to you or to each other.

Where it goes: PostHog, an analytics service, stores the stats in the United States, for up to one year.

Links in my emails: when I write to a business, the link to this site I include may carry that business's name, so I can see that the link was opened.

The website check

When you use the website check, the site fetches the first page of the address you type, the way a browser would, and checks it. The page isn't stored. The address you checked, how many checks passed and the speed scores are counted in the visit stats above.

Google's speed test: to test speed on a phone, the address you type is also sent to Google's PageSpeed Insights, which loads that page the way a phone would and sends back its report. Only the address is sent, nothing about you. Google's own privacy policy applies to that test.

Hosting

Cloudflare hosts the site. To deliver each page and protect the site from attacks, it handles your IP address and browser details for each request. The site's fonts and images come from this site itself; no other outside content is loaded.

Prices in your currency: Cloudflare tells the site which country a visit comes from, so prices show in pounds in the UK, dollars in the US and euros everywhere else. The country is used only to pick the currency and isn't stored. If you choose another currency with the buttons, the choice goes in the page address (like ?cur=gbp), not on your device.

Nothing else

No advertising, no selling or sharing of data, no social media trackers. Links to other sites, like Instagram, GitHub or the projects I've built, take you there, and their own privacy rules apply.

Your rights

You can ask to see the data I hold about you, correct it, delete it, or object to how it's used. Write to hello@pagesbyalexa.com and I'll reply within a few days. You can also complain to the Romanian data protection authority, ANSPDCP.
