Glenn Website Design (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using our website, you agree to the practices described here.
1) What We Collect
Information you provide
- Contact details (e.g., name, email, phone) when you inquire, request a quote, or subscribe.
- Project information you share (e.g., site goals, content, design preferences).
- Billing details (if you purchase services), processed via secure third-party payment providers.
Information collected automatically
- Log data (IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, date/time, pages viewed).
- Device and usage data (screen size, operating system, clicks, scrolls).
- Cookies and similar technologies (see Section 5).
Information from third parties
- Analytics, advertising, and anti-fraud partners may provide aggregated or pseudonymous data that helps us prevent abuse and improve performance.
2) How We Use Information
- Provide and improve services: Build, maintain, and optimize websites and related services.
- Communications: Respond to inquiries, send service updates, proposals, invoices, and customer support.
- Analytics: Understand how visitors use the site to improve content and performance.
- Advertising & monetization: Display ads (including Google AdSense) and measure their effectiveness.
- Security & fraud prevention: Detect, prevent, and address spam, abuse, or illegal activity.
- Legal compliance: Fulfill legal obligations and enforce our terms.
3) Legal Bases (EEA/UK visitors)
Where GDPR applies, we process personal data under these bases:
- Consent (e.g., for non-essential cookies/ads personalization).
- Legitimate interests (e.g., site security, basic analytics, service improvement).
- Contract (to deliver requested services).
- Legal obligation (to comply with applicable laws).
4) Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising
We display ads served by Google AdSense and may work with other ad partners.
- Cookies & identifiers may be used by Google and partners to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites (e.g., frequency capping, fraud prevention, ad measurement, and—where allowed—personalized ads).
- Personalized ads (EEA/UK/other jurisdictions requiring consent): We request your consent for personalized ads where required. If you do not consent, you should receive only non-personalized ads (still using cookies for frequency capping, aggregated ad reporting, and combating fraud/abuse).
- Your choices: You can manage ad personalization in your browser settings and through Google’s Ad Settings. You can also clear or block cookies via your browser or device controls.
Google’s use of advertising cookies and identifiers enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. Data processing is subject to Google’s policies and applicable law.
5) Cookies & Similar Technologies
What are cookies? Small files placed on your device to recognize your browser and store information.
Types we use
- Strictly necessary (site operation, security).
- Performance/analytics (e.g., aggregated metrics like page views, time on page).
- Advertising (to deliver, measure, and—where permitted—personalize ads).
Managing cookies:
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality. For jurisdictions that require it, we’ll present a cookie banner/consent tool to let you manage non-essential cookies.
6) Analytics
We may use analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics or similar) to understand visitor behavior in aggregate. These tools use cookies or similar technologies to collect usage data for reporting and site improvement.
7) Data Sharing & Transfers
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with:
- Service providers/Processors (hosting, analytics, email, payments, security) under confidentiality and data-processing agreements.
- Advertising partners (see Section 4) for ad delivery and measurement.
- Legal & compliance (to comply with law, enforce terms, protect rights/safety).
Because we operate and use providers globally, data may be transferred to countries outside your own. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses).
8) Data Retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary by data type and legal requirements.
9) Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect data. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Please use strong, unique passwords and protect your devices.
10) Your Rights & Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Delete your data (subject to legal/contractual limits).
- Restrict or object to certain processing.
- Data portability (receive a copy in a usable format).
- Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent (e.g., non-essential cookies/ad personalization).
To exercise your rights, email glenn@glennwebsitedesign.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
11) California & Certain U.S. State Disclosures
If you’re a resident of California or a state with similar privacy laws, you may have additional rights:
- Right to know/access categories and specific pieces of personal information collected.
- Right to delete certain personal information.
- Right to correct inaccurate information.
- Right to opt-out of “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

- Right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights.
Authorized agents may submit requests with proper authorization and identity verification.
12) Children’s Privacy
Our site and services are not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required by your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us and we will delete it where required.
13) Third-Party Links
Our site may link to third-party websites, tools, or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Please review their policies.
14) International Users
By using our site, you understand your information may be processed in countries with privacy laws different from your own. Where required, we apply appropriate safeguards for international data transfers.
