Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 20, 2026

Last Updated: March 20, 2026

Welcome to jamesdumar.com. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your information when you visit my professional portfolio.

1. Information I Collect

  • Voluntary Information: If you contact me via email or a contact form, I collect your name, email address, and any information you provide.

  • Automatic Technical Data: Like most websites, this site collects standard log data (IP address, browser type, time spent on pages) for security and performance analytics.

  • Social Connectivity: My website uses a “Social Bridge” to connect with the AT Protocol (Bluesky) and the Fediverse. Interacting with these buttons may involve third-party data processing by those platforms.

2. Decentralized Identity & Verification

This site contains a directory at /.well-known/atproto-did. This is a non-executable technical file used solely for cryptographic identity verification on the AT Protocol. It does not collect user data or track visitors.

3. How I Use Your Data

I use the information collected to:

  • Respond to professional inquiries.

  • Analyze site performance to improve my reporting on data science and gemology.

  • Ensure the security of the domain against unauthorized access.

4. Third-Party Services

I do not sell or trade your personal information. I may use trusted third-party services (like Google Analytics or WordPress plugins) that assist in operating my website, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

5. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

In accordance with global privacy standards of 2026, you have the right to:

  • Request access to any personal data I hold about you.

  • Request that I delete your personal data.

  • Opt-out of any automated tracking.

6. Contact Information
