Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

1. Overview

This privacy policy explains how Ferdinand John F. Dobli ("I," "me," or "my") collects, uses, and protects any information you provide when using ferdinandjohndobli.com. I am committed to ensuring your privacy is protected.

2. Information I Collect

This site collects only what is necessary to respond to contact inquiries:

  • Contact form submissions: your name, email address, and message content
  • Basic server logs: IP address, browser type, pages visited — collected automatically by the hosting provider (Vercel) for security and performance monitoring

I do not use tracking pixels, third-party analytics scripts (Google Analytics, Hotjar, etc.), or advertising cookies on this site.

3. How I Use Your Information

Information you submit through the contact form is used solely to:

  • Respond to your inquiry or project request
  • Follow up on conversations you have initiated

I will not add you to any mailing list, sell your data, or share it with third parties for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

4. Email Transmission

Contact form submissions are transmitted via SendGrid and delivered to my personal inbox. SendGrid processes your message data in accordance with SendGrid's Privacy Policy. Message data is not stored on SendGrid's servers beyond the transmission window.

5. Data Retention

Emails received through the contact form are retained in my personal inbox and deleted when they are no longer relevant to an active conversation. I do not maintain a separate database of contact form submissions.

6. Cookies

This site does not use cookies for tracking or analytics purposes. The hosting platform (Vercel) may set technical cookies required for site delivery and security. These are strictly necessary and do not track personal behavior.

7. Third-Party Services

This site is hosted on Vercel and uses the following third-party services:

  • Vercel — hosting and CDN
  • SendGrid — contact form email transmission

Each operates under their own privacy policies and data processing agreements.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information you have submitted to this site. To exercise these rights, contact me directly at ferdinandjohndobli@gmail.com.

9. Security

This site is served exclusively over HTTPS. Contact form data is transmitted using TLS encryption. I take reasonable precautions to protect your information but cannot guarantee absolute security of any data transmitted over the internet.

10. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated to reflect changes in practices or applicable law. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
