Privacy
Anything you send through the form is used only to get back to you.
What the form asks for
- If you ask for a website: your name, how to reach you, your business's name, what you do, your town, whether you're online already, and a look if you have one in mind.
- If you only have a question: your name, how to reach you, and the question.
Where it goes
- It's emailed to me through Cloudflare, which hosts this site, or Resend as a backup, and lands in my inbox.
- A question isn't kept anywhere but my inbox.
- A request for a website is also filed in my own records, on my own server, so I can build your preview and follow up. Cloudflare holds it for up to ten days on its way there.
- It doesn't go on a mailing list, and I don't sell or share it with anyone.
- I use it to reply to you and, if you asked for one, to build your preview.
What the site keeps about visits
- No ads, and nothing that follows you to other websites.
- Cloudflare, which hosts the site, counts page views without cookies.
- Google Analytics counts visits too. It sets its own cookies to tell a new visit from a returning one and to see how people find the site, and Google keeps what it collects under its own privacy policy. Google’s opt-out browser add-on turns it off.
- A client’s account sets one cookie of its own, to stay signed in.
- It also counts taps on the call, text and directions links, and messages sent through the form: totals for the month, with nothing that says who you are.
- To stop spam, the form checks whether the same message was just sent from the same connection. The check keeps only a scrambled code, and forgets it after a minute.
If I ask you for a review
- If you’re a client and I ask you for a review: your email address is used to send that one email, through Cloudflare, or Resend as a backup, and isn’t kept.
- So nobody is asked twice: a scrambled code of it is kept for a year.
If you’re a client with an account
- Your email address is kept, so you can sign in at /account. It’s how the site knows which business is yours.
- Each sign-in is noted: the address and the time, so I can see the page is reaching you.
- Signing in sets one cookie on that device, holding your address, for 30 days from your last visit. Sign out takes it off.
- A change you ask for is kept with its photos, so I can make it, and in my records after.
Having it deleted
Email hello@cornershopsites.com or text 585-270-1421 and I'll delete your messages, my record of your request, and anything I built from them if you'd rather I didn't keep it.
