Privacy Policy

Last updated:

This is my personal portfolio site. I collect as little as I can, I never sell your information, and this policy explains exactly what happens to it.

Who I am

nitalee.com is run by Nita Yang Lee, an individual based in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. I’m responsible for the personal information described here. You can reach me through the contact form or on LinkedIn.

What I collect

When you send a message

The contact form sends me your name, email address and message by email, along with your IP address to help spot spam. The form isn’t saved in a database on this site.

Analytics

If you allow performance cookies, Google Analytics 4 collects information about your visit: the pages you view, clicks on buttons and social profile links, how you arrived, your approximate location (city or country), and your device and browser. Google Analytics doesn’t store your full IP address. I see this only in aggregate reports and don’t use it to identify you. If you don’t allow performance cookies, Google Analytics doesn’t load. See the Cookie Policy.

Every visit

Like any website, my hosting provider’s servers record basic technical logs (IP address, browser, pages requested and time) to deliver the site and keep it secure. Fonts, the jQuery library and the Google Tag Manager script load from Google Fonts, the jQuery CDN and Google, which also receive your IP address and browser details, as with any file your browser downloads.

I don’t ask for, and please don’t send, sensitive information such as health or financial details.

How I use it

  • To read and reply to your message.
  • To understand, in aggregate, how the site is used so I can improve it (only with your consent).
  • To keep the site and contact form secure and free of spam.

I don’t add you to mailing lists, I don’t sell or share your personal information for advertising, and I don’t use it for automated decisions about you.

Legal bases (for visitors in the UK and EU)

  • Consent for Google Analytics and any marketing cookies. You can withdraw it anytime with .
  • Legitimate interests for replying to messages you send and for keeping the site secure.

Who else handles it

  • Hostinger, which hosts the site and sends contact-form emails.
  • Google, for Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics (only with your consent) and Google Fonts.
  • The jQuery CDN, which serves the jQuery library.
  • My email provider, where contact-form messages arrive.

These providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Each handles it under its own privacy terms and safeguards.

How long I keep it

  • Messages: in my email for as long as needed to reply and follow up, then deleted. Ask me and I’ll delete yours sooner.
  • Analytics: kept by Google Analytics for no longer than 14 months.
  • Server logs: kept by my hosting provider for a limited time under its own retention policy.
  • Your cookie choice: 6 months, then the banner asks again.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the UK and EU, or state privacy laws such as the CCPA in California), you can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information I hold about you, object to or limit how I use it, or get a copy of it. You can withdraw consent for cookies at any time. I honor Global Privacy Control signals as an opt-out of marketing cookies.

To make a request, use the contact form. I’ll reply within 30 days and won’t treat you differently for using your rights. If you’re in the UK or EU, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

This site is for a professional audience and isn’t directed at children under 16. I don’t knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has sent me personal information, let me know and I’ll delete it.

Security

The site is served only over HTTPS. The contact form uses spam checks and a rate limit, and its configuration is kept out of the public code. No method of sending information over the internet is perfectly secure, but I take reasonable steps to protect it.

Changes

If this policy changes, I’ll update the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will also be noted here.
