Privacy Policy

Oct 26, 2026

Who I am

This website, https://quintonmcclannan.com, is run by Quinton McClannan, an SEO and digital marketing consultant based in Boulder, Colorado. In this policy, “I”, “me” and “my” mean Quinton McClannan.

This policy explains what personal information the site collects, why, who it’s shared with and the choices you have. If you have a question about your data or want to make a request, contact me through my contact page.

What information I collect

Contact form

When you send a message through my contact form, I collect the details you enter: your name, email address and message. I use them only to reply to you and to talk about the work you asked about. Submissions arrive in my email inbox.

Comments

When you leave a comment, I collect the details shown in the comment form, plus your IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam. Comments may be checked by an automated spam detection service.

An anonymized string created from your email address (called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to see if you use it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.

Analytics

I use Google Analytics, connected through Google Site Kit, to understand how people find and use this site. Google Analytics collects information such as the pages you visit, how long you stay, the site that referred you, your general location (city or region), and your device and browser type. I use this information in aggregate to improve the site; I don’t use it to identify you personally.

Server logs

Like most websites, my hosting provider automatically records basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. This is used to keep the site running securely.

Images

If you upload images to the site, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download images and extract any location data from them.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored in your browser. This site uses them for the following:

  • Analytics: Google Analytics sets cookies to tell new visitors from returning ones and to measure how the site is used.
  • Advertising: I have a Google Ads account. If I run ads, Google may use cookies to measure whether people who saw or clicked an ad later visited this site or contacted me.
  • Comments: if you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies so you don’t have to type them again. These last one year.
  • Site administration: cookies set when logging in to the site’s admin area. These only affect people with an account on this site.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. To opt out of Google Analytics on every site, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. To control the ads Google shows you, visit My Ad Center. To learn how Google uses this data, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Embedded content from other websites

Pages on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images or posts from other websites. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the other website. Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies and track your interaction with the content, especially if you are logged in to them.

Who I share your data with

I don’t sell your personal information. I share it only with the services that help run this site:

  • Hostinger: hosts the website and its server logs.
  • Google: provides Google Analytics, Site Kit and Google Ads.
  • Automattic (Gravatar): shows profile pictures next to comments.
  • A spam detection service: checks comments for spam.

I may also share information if the law requires it. If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email.

How long I keep your data

  • Contact form messages: kept in my email for as long as needed to reply and for any work that follows. You can ask me to delete them at any time.
  • Comments: kept indefinitely, so follow-up comments can be approved automatically instead of waiting in a moderation queue.
  • Analytics data: kept for the retention period set in Google Analytics (up to 14 months).
  • Registered users (if any): profile information is stored until the account is deleted. Users can see, edit or delete it at any time, except their username.

Your rights

You can ask me to:

  • send you a copy of the personal data I hold about you
  • correct it
  • delete it

This doesn’t include data I must keep for administrative, legal or security purposes. To make a request, contact me through my contact page.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and I don’t knowingly collect their personal information.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date it was last updated.
