When you use the contact form, I may collect the information you choose to provide, including:

• Your name
• Your email address
• The subject of your inquiry
• The message and any other information you include

The Website or its hosting provider may also automatically collect limited technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, access time, and basic server or security logs.

If you consent to Google Analytics, additional usage information may be collected as described in the “Cookies, Consent, and Google Analytics” section below.

3. How Information Is Used

Information submitted through the contact form is used to:

• Respond to your inquiry
• Communicate with you about the subject of your message
• Operate, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the Website
• Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, or other misuse

• Analyze Website traffic and usage to improve the Website’s content, functionality, and performance

Information submitted through the contact form is not used to enroll you in a mailing list or send promotional messages.

4. How Information May Be Shared

Personal information may be shared with service providers that help operate and analyze the Website or deliver contact-form messages, such as website hosting, email, analytics, spam-prevention, and technical service providers. These providers may process information only as needed to perform services on my behalf.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law or legal process, protect the rights or safety of others, investigate misuse, or establish or defend legal claims.

I do not sell personal information.

5. Cookies, Consent, and Google Analytics

The Website uses essential cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for security, basic functionality, and remembering your privacy preferences.

With your consent, the Website also uses Google Analytics 4, an analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors find and use the Website. Google Analytics may collect information such as:

• Pages viewed and interactions with the Website
• Scroll activity and outbound link clicks
• The referring website or source
• Browser, device, operating-system, and screen information
• General geographic information, such as country, region, or city
• Random identifiers used to distinguish visitors and sessions

Google Analytics uses first-party cookies, including cookies named _ga and _ga_ followed by an identifier, to distinguish visitors and sessions. Google states that Google Analytics may use an IP address during data collection to derive general location information but does not log or store the IP address.

Analytics is disabled by default and is activated only after you consent through the Website’s privacy banner. If you decline analytics cookies, the Google Analytics tag will not load and analytics cookies will not be placed by the Website.

You may change or withdraw your consent at any time by selecting the Cookie Settings link available on the Website. Withdrawing consent prevents future analytics collection through your browser but may not delete information previously collected.

Information collected through Google Analytics is used to measure Website traffic, understand how visitors interact with the Website, identify technical or usability issues, and improve the Website’s content and performance. The Website does not use Google Analytics for targeted advertising, remarketing, or advertising personalization.

Google processes analytics information on behalf of the Website in accordance with its applicable terms and privacy practices. Additional information is available in Google’s Privacy Policy and its explanation of how Google uses information from websites and applications that use Google services.

6. Data Retention

Contact-form submissions and related correspondence are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the inquiry, maintain appropriate records, resolve disputes, protect the Website, or comply with legal obligations. Information may then be deleted or securely disposed of.

7. Data Security

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information submitted through the Website. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

8. Your Choices and Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you submitted through the contact form, subject to applicable law and legitimate recordkeeping needs. To make a request, use the contact form on michelleradnia.com. I may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

9. Children's Privacy

The Website is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the Website, please contact me so that the information can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.

10. Third-Party Links

The Website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties. I am not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of those third-party services.
