This Privacy Policy explains how itiswestie collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit this website or contact me about a project.
This website is a personal portfolio and service website for custom WordPress design and development services. It is not an ecommerce website, does not sell products directly, and does not require visitors to create accounts.
Who We Are
This website is operated by itiswestie.
Website: https://itiswestie.com
Email: itiswestie@gmail.com

Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical information when you visit, such as:
- Your IP address

- Device type
- Pages visited
- General location data, such as country or city

This information helps me understand how the website is performing, improve the user experience, and keep the site secure.
How We Use Your Information
I may use your information to:
- Respond to your project inquiry or message

Contact Forms and Project Inquiries
If you submit a contact form or send a project inquiry, the information you provide will be used to respond to you and discuss your request.
Submitting an inquiry does not automatically create a client relationship. A project only begins once we have both agreed on the scope, pricing, timeline, and terms of work.
Cookies
This website may use cookies or similar technologies to improve browsing experience, measure website performance, and support basic website functionality.
Cookies are small files stored on your device. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, although some parts of the website may not work as expected.
If analytics or embedded third-party tools are used, those services may also set their own cookies.
Analytics
This website may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics or similar services to understand how visitors use the site.
Analytics data is used in an aggregated way to help improve the website. It may include information such as pages visited, device type, browser type, and general location.
Embedded Content and Third-Party Links
This website may include links to external websites, social media pages, project websites, videos, images, or embedded content.
Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that website directly. Those third-party websites may collect data, use cookies, or track your interaction with their content according to their own privacy policies.
I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.
Project and Portfolio Content
This website may display past projects, screenshots, brand names, logos, testimonials, or case study information.
Where possible, project work is shown respectfully and for portfolio purposes only. If you are a past client or project owner and would like certain information updated or removed, you can contact me at itiswestie@gmail.com.
Data Sharing
I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
Your information may be shared only when necessary with:
- Service providers that help operate the website, such as hosting, email, analytics, or security tools
- Professional advisers, where required
- Legal or regulatory authorities, if required by law
- Project collaborators, only where relevant to your project and with appropriate care
Data Retention
I keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary.
Project inquiry messages may be kept for administrative, communication, or record-keeping purposes. If we work together, some project-related information may be retained for future support, legal, tax, or professional reasons.
You may request deletion of your personal information where applicable.
Your Rights
Depending on applicable data protection laws, you may have the right to:
- Ask what personal information is held about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your personal information
- Object to certain uses of your information
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Ask how your information is being used
To make a request, email itiswestie@gmail.com.
Data Security
I take reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
However, no website or online communication method is completely secure. You should avoid sending highly sensitive information through website forms or email unless necessary.
Children’s Privacy
This website is not intended for children. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the website, services, tools, or legal requirements.
The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
