What this site knows about you, which is almost nothing.

Who is responsible

Dr. Emmanuel Oluseye Fadipe, whose site this is, decides what is collected here and why. The quickest way to reach him about your data is the contact form.

What is collected

Only what you type into one of the two forms, and only when you send it. Reading a page here, however many of them you read, leaves nothing behind.

The contact form stores what you fill in: your name, your email address, what the message is about and the message itself, the event details if it is a speaking enquiry, the date you need an answer by, and when it arrived. An email telling him a message has come is then queued, with your message in it and your address set as the one to reply to.

Signing up for his letter stores your email address, whether it has been confirmed, when, and two random links: one to confirm, which stops working after three days, and one to leave, which never does. An email with the confirm link is then queued for that address, at most one an hour.

What is not collected

No advertising trackers. No third party analytics, so nobody is counting your visit, not him and not a company he pays. No cookies are set on any page you can read without signing in, which is every page on this site, and nothing is kept in your browser's storage.

The one cookie belongs to the studio, the private area where he edits the site. Cloudflare Access sets it when he signs in, to keep him signed in, and only on the studio's addresses, which no visitor can open.

Nothing here builds a profile of you, and nothing here is sold, rented or handed to a data broker. There is no arrangement under which that could happen.

How the forms are kept from abuse

Each form accepts five submissions an hour from one connection. To count them, the site keeps a counter named by a one way hash of your connection's address and the hour, never the address itself; a sign-up is also counted against a hash of the email address it names. Because the hour is part of the hash, one hour's counter cannot be matched to the next. A counter is deleted by the first form submission after its hour ends.

How email is sent

When sending is configured, each email is handed to Mailgun, an email delivery service, which delivers it to the inbox it is addressed to. That is the only organisation your address or message is passed to, and only for that delivery.

The site keeps a record of each email: who it went to, its subject, and whether it was sent. It does not keep a copy of the text of an email that was sent. The record, and the queued job that carried the full email, are deleted between twenty-nine and thirty days after the email was queued.

Where it is kept, and who handles it for him

In one database belonging to this site, hosted by Cloudflare, who serve the site, in tables of their own apart from the published content. Nothing you send is published here or shown to anyone else reading the site.

Two services process it on his behalf and for no purpose of their own: Cloudflare, which hosts the site and its database, and Mailgun, which delivers the emails described above. Both are companies based in the United States, so your data may be processed there.

On what basis

A message you send is used to answer it: to take steps you have asked for, such as a speaking enquiry, under Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and otherwise because answering the people who write is a legitimate interest, under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The letter is sent only with your consent, under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, given by confirming your address. You can withdraw it at any time with the link in every issue, without affecting what was sent before.

The counters that keep the forms from abuse, and the serving of the pages, rest on the legitimate interest in keeping the site secure and available, under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

How long it is kept

A message you send through the contact form stays in the database until he deletes it. Nothing deletes it automatically.

Your email address stays on the list until you leave. Leaving is a link with a button on the page it opens: one press marks the address as unsubscribed, which stops anything being sent to it. The address itself is still in the table after that, so that signing up again later keeps working.

If you would rather a message or an address were deleted altogether, write and say so.

What delivering the page involves

Asking for a page means your device tells Cloudflare where to send it, which is how the internet works and not something any site can avoid. Those are ordinary serving records, held by them under their own terms rather than kept here. Nothing on this site joins them to your name, your address or anything you have sent.

Your rights

You can ask what is held about you and for a copy of it, have it corrected, have it deleted, have its use restricted, and receive what you gave in a form a machine can read. You can object to any use that rests on legitimate interest, and withdraw consent at any time. These are Articles 15 to 18, 20 and 21 and Art. 7(3) GDPR. Write to him to use any of them.

You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the country where you live or work or where you think the problem arose (Art. 77 GDPR).

If any of this changes

This page changes first, and it will say what is different. If a measurement tool or any other third party is ever added, it will be named here before it is switched on, not discovered afterwards.
