Privacy Policy

Who we are

This site (jeremybird.design) is operated by Jeremy Bird, an independent UX leadership consultant based in Lehi, Utah. Questions about this policy can be sent to jeremybirddesign@icloud.com.

What we collect

• Contact-form submissions. When you send a message via the contact form, we receive your name, email address, and the message body. These are transmitted to Jeremy by email and stored in his inbox.
• Scheduling submissions (Calendly). When you book a call via the embedded Calendly widget, Calendly collects your name, email, time-zone, and any answers you give to its pre-meeting questions. Calendly stores this information under its own privacy practices — see calendly.com/privacy. The booking confirmation is forwarded to Jeremy.
• Aggregate analytics (Cloudflare). The site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views, referrers, browsers, operating systems, and approximate country. This data is cookieless and aggregate — it does not identify individual visitors and does not require consent. No third-party advertising trackers are placed on this site.
• Behavioral analytics (Microsoft Clarity). The site uses Microsoft Clarity to record anonymous session replays and heatmaps so Jeremy can understand how the site is used and improve it. Clarity processes IP address, device / browser metadata, and on-page behavior (clicks, scrolls, mouse movement). Contact-form inputs (name, email, company, message) are explicitly masked so they are never captured in replays. Clarity sets first-party and Microsoft-owned cookies. You can opt out via Cookie settings (link in the footer or the banner that appears on your first visit).
• Functional storage. Small flags stored locally in your browser remember whether you have dismissed the cookie banner and what your analytics preference is so neither needs to be set on every visit.

How we use it

We use the information above to (1) respond to your message or meeting request, (2) understand which content is being read and how the site is used so we can improve it, and (3) remember your cookie and analytics preferences. We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. Aggregate and behavioral analytics data is processed by Cloudflare and Microsoft (respectively) under their own privacy policies linked below.

Third-party services

The site embeds or links to a small number of third-party services, each of which has its own privacy policy:

• Calendly — meeting scheduling. The Calendly widget on the contact page loads scripts fromassets.calendly.com and posts your booking tocalendly.com. Their policy: calendly.com/privacy.
• Medium— published writing is hosted on Medium. The Writing section pulls article metadata via Medium's public RSS feed. Links open on medium.com / publication subdomains. Their policy: Medium Privacy Policy.
• LinkedIn — recommendation links and social icons point to LinkedIn. Their policy: LinkedIn Privacy Policy.
• Microsoft Clarity — anonymous session replay and heatmaps. Loads scripts fromwww.clarity.ms and sets first-party + Microsoft-owned cookies. Their policy: Microsoft Privacy Statement (Clarity is covered alongside other Microsoft products). Opt out via Cookie settings.
• Cloudflare Web Analytics — cookieless aggregate analytics. Loads a small beacon fromstatic.cloudflareinsights.com. Their policy: Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
• Hosting / CDN — the site is served from a cloud hosting provider that may log standard request metadata (IP address, user agent, request path) for the purpose of operating the service.

Cookies and similar technologies

This site uses (1) first-party functional storage to remember your cookie-banner dismissal and analytics preference, and (2) the analytics cookies set by Microsoft Clarity described above. The Cloudflare Web Analytics beacon is cookieless. Embedded third-party widgets (e.g. Calendly) may set their own cookies when you interact with them. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings; doing so may affect some functionality.

How to opt out of analytics

Open Cookie settings (link in the site footer, or the banner shown on first visit) and toggle Analytics off, then Save. This stops Microsoft Clarity from loading on subsequent navigations and clears its first-party cookies on a best-effort basis. Microsoft-owned cross-property cookies (e.g. MUID) live on Microsoft's domain and can only be cleared via your browser's cookie controls. Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookieless and aggregate; there is nothing identifying to opt out of, so the toggle does not affect it.

No user accounts; minimal data stored by us

This site does not have user accounts, authentication, or any database of visitors. The contact form forwards your message directly to Jeremy's email inbox; the Calendly widget sends booking details to Calendly, which handles that data under their own policy. Aggregate and behavioral analytics data is processed by Cloudflare and Microsoft (respectively) under their own privacy policies — Jeremy does not store an individual visitor database on this site. The only things that live in your browser locally are the cookie-banner dismissal flag, the analytics-preference flag, and the analytics cookies described above.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be highlighted via the cookie banner.
