Your privacy is important to us.
Last updated: September 29, 2025
This Privacy Policy describes how Bernard Fiagbenu ("I", "me", or "my") collects, uses, and discloses your information in connection with your use of my portfolio website (the "Site").
Information I Collect
As this is a portfolio website, I aim to collect minimal personal information.
- Contact Information: If you use the contact form (which redirects to an email client), your email application will handle your name, email address, and the message content. I do not store this information directly on the Site's servers through the form itself. I will receive this information as an email.
- Usage Data: Like most websites, this Site may use hosting provider analytics (e.g., Firebase Hosting, Vercel Analytics) or third-party services like Google Analytics (if implemented) to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behavior patterns. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the dates/times of your visits. This data is primarily used to understand website traffic and improve the user experience.
How I Use Your Information
- To Respond to Inquiries: If you contact me, I will use your information to respond to your requests or inquiries.
- To Improve the Site: I may use aggregated and anonymized usage data to analyze trends, administer the Site, track users' movements around the Site, and gather demographic information about my user base as a whole.
- For AdSense (If Applicable): If this site uses Google AdSense, Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings.

Data Security
I take reasonable measures to protect the information I collect. However, no website or internet transmission is completely secure, and I cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.
