Welcome to chrisvernon.io (the "Website"), my personal developer and CV website. This Privacy Policy explains how I, Chris Vernon, collect, use, and protect your information when you visit this Website.

1. Information I Collect

I value your privacy and aim to collect as little personal data as necessary. The primary way I collect information is through Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google").

The information collected through Google Analytics is used solely for the following purposes:

  • To monitor and analyse Website usage and trends.
  • To improve the design, content, and functionality of the Website.
  • To understand audience demographics and interests in an aggregated, anonymised way.

I do not use this data to personally identify individual visitors.
