Privacy
This is a personal portfolio operated by Henry Forber. It does not provide user accounts, comments, online purchases or a contact form.
Cloudflare Web Analytics
This website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand general traffic and website performance. Cloudflare states that this service does not use cookies or localStorage to collect analytics metrics and does not fingerprint individual visitors.
I use the resulting aggregated reports to understand which pages are visited, identify broad traffic patterns and check that the website is working properly. The information is not used for advertising, cross-site marketing or automated decision-making.
Analytics preference
Checking your current preference…
This website stores a single localStorage preference only when you use this control. It is used solely to remember whether the analytics beacon should load. Clearing site data will remove the preference. The privacy page itself does not load the analytics beacon.
Website delivery, security & fonts
The website is delivered through Cloudflare. Cloudflare and the origin web server may process technical request information such as an IP address, browser details, the requested page, timestamps and security events where this is necessary to deliver, monitor and protect the site.
The site also loads the Inter and JetBrains Mono typefaces through Google Fonts. Loading those files sends a request from your browser to Google, which may include technical information such as your IP address and browser details.
I do not sell visitor information and do not use advertising trackers on this website.
Purpose, lawful basis & retention
I rely on legitimate interests to understand the performance of this portfolio, keep it secure and respond to messages sent to me. These activities are limited to what is reasonably necessary to operate and improve the website.
Cloudflare states that unsampled Web Analytics beacon data is retained for seven days and is then aggregated. Other technical logs are retained only for as long as needed for website operation, troubleshooting or security, subject to the relevant Cloudflare and server settings. Emails are kept only for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with the message and any related follow-up.
Service providers & international processing
Cloudflare provides website delivery, security and analytics services. Google provides the externally hosted font files. These providers may process technical information in countries outside the United Kingdom.
Cloudflare states that it primarily stores information in the United States and the European Economic Area and uses recognised transfer safeguards for UK data, including the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses where applicable. Google describes its own international processing and safeguards in its privacy policy.
Email & external links
Selecting an email link opens your own email application. Any personal information you choose to send is used to read and respond to your message. Your email provider and mine will process the message as part of delivering the email.
This website links to external services including LinkedIn, Microsoft Learn, BCS, Shiptheory, Kascade and the Information Commissioner's Office. Those services have their own privacy practices and policies.
Your rights & contact
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to request access to personal information, ask for inaccurate information to be corrected, request deletion or restriction, and object to processing based on legitimate interests.
Questions or requests concerning this website can be sent to henryforber@gmail.com. You also have the right to raise a concern with the Information Commissioner's Office.
