Privacy Policy

Last updated: [CONTENT NEEDED — date]. This is a draft template and has not been reviewed by legal counsel — see the note at the bottom of this page before publishing.

Overview

OpenSecret ("we," "us") operates this website to share information about our work and to let visitors get in touch. This site is intentionally simple: it is a static set of pages with no user accounts, no forms that store data on our servers, and no advertising. We collect as little information as possible.

Information we collect

We do not currently use analytics, tracking pixels, or advertising scripts on this site. The only personal information we receive is what you choose to send us directly — for example, by emailing or calling the contact details listed on this site.

Our hosting provider may automatically log standard technical information (such as IP address, browser type, and request timestamps) for security and reliability purposes, as most web hosts do. [CONTENT NEEDED — confirm hosting provider's specific logging practices and link to their policy here.]

Cookies

This site does not set non-essential cookies. If that changes in the future — for example, if we add analytics — we will update this policy and provide a consent control before any non-essential cookie is set.

How we use information

Any information you send us directly (such as an email inquiry) is used only to respond to you and, where relevant, to discuss a potential project. We do not sell personal information.

Your rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. This may include rights under the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation and the California Consumer Privacy Act, where applicable. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

Data retention

We retain correspondence only as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry or maintain a business relationship. [CONTENT NEEDED — specific retention schedule.]

Children's privacy

This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site or our practices change. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

Note on this template

This page is a structural starting point, written to match how the site actually works today: no accounts, no non-essential cookies, no ad tech. It is not legal advice, and several fields ([CONTENT NEEDED]) still need real information, including the operating entity's legal name and jurisdiction. Have it reviewed by qualified counsel before publishing, and update it if the site's data practices change.
