This site (eiannewland.com) is a personal professional portfolio operated by Eian Newland (Salt Lake City, Utah, USA). Eian Newland is the data controller for this site. This policy explains what data is collected when you visit eiannewland.com, why it is collected, and how it is handled.

1. What data we collect

Site analytics (Google Analytics 4)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use this site. GA4 collects:

  • Pages visited, session duration, and navigation paths
  • Device type, browser, operating system, and screen size
  • Approximate geographic region (derived from IP address, not precise location)
  • Referral source (how you arrived at the site)
  • Cookie identifiers (_ga, _ga_XXXX, _gid)

GA4 processes data on Google's servers, including in the United States. Analytics data is retained for 14 months. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Contact form

If you use the contact form on this site, we collect your name, email address, and the message you submit. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add contact form submissions to any mailing list or share them with third parties. Contact form data is retained for up to 12 months, after which it is deleted.

2. Legal basis for processing (GDPR)

For visitors in the EU, EEA, and UK, we process data under the following legal bases:

  • Legitimate interests: site analytics used to understand how the portfolio is used, where those interests do not override your fundamental rights
  • Contract performance / pre-contractual steps: responding to inquiries submitted through the contact form
  • Consent: where required by applicable law, analytics tools require your consent before activating

3. Cookies

This site uses analytics cookies set by Google Analytics. We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social media tracking cookies, or session recording tools.

  • _ga, _ga_XXXX: Google Analytics user and session identifiers (expires: 2 years)
  • _gid: Google Analytics session identifier (expires: 24 hours)

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from viewing this site.
