01 Introduction
Welcome to ronnymwenda.netlify.app (the "Website"), operated by Ronny Mwenda ("I", "me", or "my"), a frontend web developer and mathematics teacher based in Embu County, Kenya.
This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit my website. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the site.
02 Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly
When you use the contact form on this website, I collect:

This information is submitted through a third-party form service, Formspree, which delivers your message directly to my email inbox. See Section 5 for details.
Information Collected Automatically
This website does not currently use any visitor analytics or tracking software. I do not collect browsing behaviour, IP addresses, device information, or location data through this site at this time.
If I introduce analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) or advertising (such as Google AdSense) in the future, this policy will be updated in advance to reflect exactly what is collected and why.

I will never use your personal information to send unsolicited commercial messages (spam), sell your data to third parties, or use it for any purpose you have not consented to.
04 Cookies and Tracking Technologies
This website does not set its own cookies for tracking or advertising purposes. The only cookies that may be present are those set by third-party services embedded in the site (such as Google Fonts or the Formspree submission service), which are necessary for those features to function.
If advertising (such as Google AdSense) is enabled on this site in the future, this section will be updated to disclose exactly which cookies are used and how to opt out, before any such cookies are set.
