Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 31, 2026

Your privacy is important. This Privacy Policy details the types of information collected, used, and protected when you visit phil-osullivan.com.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

  • Contact Inquiries: When you submit a message via the Contact page, we collect your name, email address, and message content. This information is only used to respond to your inquiry and is never shared or sold.
  • Server Logs: Like most websites, our host records standard server logs including your IP address, browser type (user agent), referring pages, and timestamp to monitor site stability and prevent security incidents.
  • Cookies: We use essential session cookies to support site functionality. Third-party marketing cookies (specifically Google AdSense) are only loaded if you explicitly authorize them.

2. Google AdSense & Personalized Advertising

We partner with Google AdSense to show advertisements on our pages. To comply with GDPR and privacy regulations:

  • Consent-based Loading: Google AdSense tracking scripts and cookies are entirely blocked from loading on your device unless you choose to "Accept All" or toggle "Marketing/Ads" on in our cookie consent banner.
  • Revoking Consent: You can manage or revoke your preferences at any time by clicking the Cookie Settings link in the footer of any page.
  • Data Usage: Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other sites on the internet. You can learn more about how Google handles ad tracking by visiting the Google Advertising Privacy Policy.

3. Third-Party Services

Outside of Google AdSense (subject to consent), we do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website or conducting our business, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

4. GDPR & CCPA Rights

Depending on your location, you have the following rights regarding your data:

  • The right to request access to the personal data we store about you.
  • The right to request rectification of inaccurate data.
  • The right to request erasure of your data (e.g., removing your contact form submissions).
  • The right to restrict or object to the processing of your data.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us directly using the Contact form on our site.
