This is the personal website of Chris Stephens, based in Kelowna, British Columbia. This policy explains how I handle information associated with visits to this site and enquiries sent to me.
Information you provide
If you email me, I receive your email address, name, and any information you choose to include. I use this information to respond to your enquiry and, where relevant, discuss or provide the services you request. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information in an initial email.
Website visits and cookies
The site’s hosting and security services may record technical information, such as your IP address, browser, pages requested, and time of access. This information helps operate the site, troubleshoot problems, and protect it from misuse.
No analytics or advertising trackers are currently added to this site. WordPress may use necessary cookies for administrative login, and hosting or security services may use cookies needed to operate and protect the site. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.
Service providers and sharing
I use service providers for website hosting and email. They may handle information needed to deliver those services, and some may process or store it outside Canada. I do not sell personal information. I may disclose information when required by law or necessary to protect legal rights or the security of the site.
Keeping information safe
I take reasonable steps to protect personal information. No website or email service can guarantee complete security. I keep enquiry records as long as needed to respond, manage any resulting relationship, and meet applicable recordkeeping requirements. Technical logs follow the hosting provider’s retention settings.
Your choices and questions
You can ask about the personal information I hold about you, request access or a correction, or withdraw consent for future uses, subject to legal requirements. Contact me at me@chrisstephens.com. You may also raise an unresolved privacy concern with the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia.
Links and policy updates
Links to LinkedIn, Twirling Umbrellas, and other sites take you to services with their own privacy practices. This policy applies to this website. I will update it if the site’s features or information practices change.
