# Privacy Policy - Link: https://bleedingeyestudios.com/privacy-policy/ - Published: 2020-08-27T08:23:10-07:00 - Author: Ashton Porter BLEEDING EYE STUDIOS / SITE POLICIES # Privacy Policy How Bleeding Eye Studios handles personal data, third-party services and privacy choices. ## Who operates this website Bleeding Eye Studios operates [bleedingeyestudios.com](https://bleedingeyestudios.com/), a professional portfolio and informational website for technology leadership, software engineering, applied AI, and consulting-related inquiries. This policy describes information processed through this website and its associated communications. To ask a privacy question or submit a request, contact [jay@bleedingeyestudios.com](https://bleedingeyestudios.com/privacy-policy/jay@bleedingeyestudios.com). ## Information that may be collected Depending on how you interact with the site, information may include: * **Information you provide:** your name, email address, message contents, and related information you send by email or through a form, if one is made available. * **Technical and usage information:** IP address, browser and device information, approximate location inferred from network information, pages visited, referrer, dates and times, and security or diagnostic logs. * **Cookies and similar technology:** identifiers or preferences used for necessary site operation, security, performance, and, if enabled, analytics. * **Account and interaction information:** login information, site comments, or other information if you use legacy account or interaction features still accessible on the website. ## How information is used Information may be used to respond to inquiries, communicate about requested services, operate and secure the site, prevent abuse, understand website performance, maintain records as reasonably necessary, satisfy legal obligations, and administer communications or mailing lists where those features have been enabled. Please do not submit confidential client information, sensitive personal data, payment- card information, or proprietary materials through an unsolicited initial inquiry. ## Hosting, analytics, and service providers The website is built on WordPress and hosted using Hostinger infrastructure. Depending on the features and integrations currently enabled, site information may also be processed by hosting, security, anti-spam, analytics, caching, email-delivery, and content-management providers. Installed integrations include Jetpack, Google Site Kit, Wordfence, Akismet, LiteSpeed Cache, and email/marketing tools; the data they receive depends on their settings and whether the relevant feature is activated. For example, a configured analytics service may use cookies or comparable identifiers to measure visits. Third-party services have their own privacy policies. The presence of a plugin does not mean every service or tracking capability it supports is currently enabled. ## Cookies and online tracking The website may use necessary cookies and, where enabled, analytics or other optional cookies. The [Cookie Notice](https://bleedingeyestudios.com/cookie-policy/) explains the types of technologies involved and browser-level controls. A complete inventory of active cookies and third-party tags should be validated against the deployed site. Browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals are not guaranteed to disable all third-party services on this website. Global Privacy Control (GPC) and other legally recognized opt-out signals should be assessed against the site’s active tracking configuration and honored where applicable. Contact us if you wish to raise an opt-out request. ## Sharing and disclosures Information may be disclosed to contracted service providers as necessary to host and operate the website, respond to inquiries, maintain security, or deliver services; to professional advisers under appropriate obligations; or where legally required. Third parties may collect information independently when you use externally hosted embeds or links. Any sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising, and any legally required opt-out mechanism, must be evaluated against actual tracking and vendor configurations. ## Retention and security Information is kept for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including answering inquiries, maintaining security, complying with recordkeeping requirements, or resolving disputes. Different systems, backups, and service providers may have different retention periods. We employ appropriate administrative and technical safeguards, but internet transmission and storage cannot be guaranteed perfectly secure. ## Your privacy choices and rights You may contact [jay@bleedingeyestudios.com](https://bleedingeyestudios.com/privacy-policy/jay@bleedingeyestudios.com) to ask what personal information is held about you, request access, correction or deletion, or object to particular processing. We will evaluate requests under applicable law, verify identity when necessary, and explain if a legal exception applies. Residents of California or other jurisdictions may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws, including rights to know, delete, correct, limit some uses of sensitive information, opt out of qualifying sales or sharing, and receive nondiscriminatory treatment. The availability of particular rights depends on whether the relevant law applies to the operator and processing activity. For requests concerning sale or sharing of personal information, see our [Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information](https://bleedingeyestudios.com/do-not-sell/) page. That page explains the available request channel and how we handle opt-out inquiries. ## Children's privacy This professional portfolio is not intended for children under 13, and we do not deliberately solicit information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so it can be reviewed and addressed. ## External sites and international processing Links to other websites and third-party embeds are subject to their own practices. Depending on the service provider, data may be processed outside your state or country. Where applicable, transfers should be subject to appropriate safeguards. ## Updates to this policy Effective and last updated: **November 12, 2026**. We may revise this notice when our technology, practices, or legal obligations change. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new effective date and additional notice where required.
