Chris Hagarty respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit chrishagarty.com, how it may be used, and the choices available to you.
Information I Collect
I may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide through the website, including:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Information you include in a contact form or message
- Any other information you choose to provide when contacting me about my services
The website and the services used to operate it may also automatically collect certain technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring website, pages visited, and general usage information.
How Your Information Is Used
Information collected through this website may be used to:
- Respond to questions or inquiries
- Communicate with prospective or existing clients
- Provide information about my web design, development, and related services
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website
- Understand how visitors use the website
- Detect spam, abuse, or security threats
Personal information will not be used for purposes unrelated to those for which it was collected without appropriate consent, except where permitted or required by law.
Contact Forms
When you submit a contact form, the information you enter is sent to me so that I can respond to your inquiry.
Submitting a contact form does not create a client relationship or obligate either party to enter into a business relationship.
Analytics and Cookies
This website may use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors interact with the site.
These services may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information such as pages visited, time spent on the website, approximate location, device type, and browser information.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website functionality.
Third-Party Service Providers
I may use third-party services to operate and protect the website, including services related to:
- Website hosting
- Website analytics
- Email delivery
- Spam prevention
- Website security
- Website backups
These providers may process limited information as necessary to provide their services.
Some service providers may store or process information outside Canada. When this occurs, the information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is processed.
Sharing of Personal Information
I do not sell or rent personal information.
Information may be shared with service providers where necessary to operate the website or provide requested services. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or where reasonably necessary to protect the website, my business, or others from fraud, abuse, or security threats.
Retention of Information
Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, for legitimate business purposes, or where retention is required by law.
Information that is no longer required will be deleted, anonymized, or otherwise securely disposed of where practical.
Security
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
However, no website, email system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your Privacy Rights
You may contact me to ask about personal information I hold about you or to request that inaccurate information be corrected.
Where appropriate, you may also request that personal information no longer required for legitimate business or legal purposes be deleted.
Canadian privacy law establishes rules for how businesses handle personal information in commercial activities, including accountability, consent, limiting collection, safeguards, openness, and individual access.
Third-Party Links
This website may contain links to third-party websites, including client websites, social media platforms, or other external resources.
I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites. You should review their privacy policies separately.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes to the website, my services, or applicable requirements.
The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when significant changes are made.
