Privacy Policy

This policy explains what happens when you visit josephhill.co (the "Site"), a personal portfolio site operated by Joseph Hill, based in Hamburg, Germany. The Site is intentionally simple: it does not use cookies, does not run advertising trackers, and does not collect personal information through forms.

This Site uses Fathom Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service, to understand overall traffic and how visitors find and use the Site. Fathom does not use cookies and does not track visitors across websites or devices.

Specifically, Fathom Analytics:

• Does not collect or store any personally identifiable information (PII).
• Does not use cookies or any persistent identifiers, and requires no cookie consent banner.
• Anonymizes IP addresses on collection — full IP addresses are never stored.
• Aggregates data such as page views, referrers, approximate location (country/region), device and browser type, so no individual visitor can be identified.
• Does not track you across other websites.

Data is processed on servers within the EU, and Fathom Analytics is fully compliant with the GDPR, ePrivacy Directive (PECR), and CCPA. You can read more in Fathom's own privacy policy.

The Site uses Google Fonts (DM Sans and Playfair Display), which are downloaded at build time and served directly from this Site's own hosting. No requests are made to Google's servers when you visit, and no data is shared with Google as a result.

The Site links out to third-party services — for example LinkedIn, and a Proton Calendar booking page — for your convenience. Once you follow one of these links, you are subject to that third party's own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review.

This Site does not set cookies and does not include any contact forms. If you choose to email the address listed on the Site, that email exchange is handled directly between you and Joseph Hill and is not stored or processed by this website.

Since no personal data is collected via analytics, there is generally nothing to access, correct, or delete. If you have contacted the Site owner directly by email and would like that correspondence deleted, or if you have any other questions about this policy, please reach out at contact@josephhill.co.

This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the Site or applicable law. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
