Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to me, and I understand that it is important to you. I am committed to being transparent about the technologies this Site uses ("we", "me", or "the platform"). This Privacy Policy explains both how your data is collected, used, and shared when you visit peschange.com (the “Site”), as well as why cookies, web beacons, pixels, clear gifs, and other similar technologies (collectively “Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies”) may be stored on and accessed from your device when you use or visit the Site.


Personal Information

When you visit the Site, the platform automatically collects certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device.

Additionally, as you browse the Site, it collects information about the individual web pages that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

  • “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
  • “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
  • “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Additionally when you contact me, we collect your name and email address. We refer to this information as “Contact Information.”

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Contact Information.


HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

When you submit information via the Contact form, we collect IP address, user agent (browser information), name, email address, and message. The actual submission data is stored in the Squarespace database, behind a firewall, and is emailed directly to the author of the Site (i.e. the site author who published the page on which the contact form resides). This email includes the submitter’s name, email address, and message.
