Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Ken Spoor (“I,” “me,” or “my”) handles information in connection with the personal website at spoor.org and related pages I operate (together, the “Site”).
1. Overview
The public Site is a personal landing page. I do not sell personal information. I aim to collect as little as practical to run and secure the Site.
2. Information I may collect
- Information you provide. If you email me (for example at kspoor@gmail.com) or otherwise contact me, I receive the content of that message and any contact details you include.
- Technical / log data. Like most websites, hosting and security systems may automatically record standard request data such as IP address, browser type, dates and times of access, pages requested, and referring URLs. This is used for security, diagnostics, and basic operation of the Site.
- Cookies and similar technologies. The public Site does not rely on advertising cookies. Essential cookies or local storage may be used for basic site function or preferences where applicable. Third-party services I link to (such as X) have their own practices when you visit them.
3. How information is used
I may use information to operate and maintain the Site, respond to messages, protect against abuse or unauthorized access, and comply with law.
4. Sharing
I do not sell your personal information. I may share information with service providers who help host or secure the Site (for example a web host), when required by law, or to protect rights, safety, and security. Linked third-party sites are governed by their own policies.
5. Retention
I keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, including security and legal obligations, then delete or de-identify it when practical.
6. Security
I use reasonable measures appropriate to a personal site, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
7. Children’s privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
8. Your choices
You may contact me to ask questions about this policy or about information you have sent me. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable law.
9. SMS / text messages
If I send SMS notifications, I use only the mobile number I have registered for my own alerts. I do not sell or share mobile numbers with third parties for their marketing. Reply STOP to end messages.
Mobile numbers collected on the public opt-in page at /sms are used only for Ken Spoor / spoor.org personal account notices, verification codes, and system alerts. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Numbers are not sold or shared with third parties for their marketing. Reply STOP to cancel. Reply HELP for help. Consent is not required to use this website. See also the Terms of Use SMS program section.
10. Changes
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective” date above will change when material updates are posted.
