Who is responsible
David McMillan, trading as BigBadBird, decides how the data on this page is used. Write to dm@bigbadbird.ai about any of it.
What is recorded
- Visits
- Vercel Web Analytics counts which pages are viewed, the country a visit comes from, the site that referred it, and the kind of device and browser. It sets no cookie and stores nothing on your device. Vercel uses your IP address to work out the country and to count visits, and does not store it with the counts.
- Hosting
- Vercel hosts the site. Like any web host, it processes your IP address and the details of each request to deliver the page and keep the site running.
- The theme
- If you choose the light or dark theme, your browser remembers the choice. It is not sent anywhere.
- If you write to me, the message is held in my mailbox, which Apple hosts through iCloud+, and is used to reply to you. I keep it for as long as the conversation, and any work that follows from it, needs.
- Booking a call
- The booking link opens Cal.com, which has its own privacy notice. What you enter there reaches Cal.com and me, so that I can hold the call.
- Preview links
- While the site is in preview, only a preview link opens it. Opening the link sets a cookie that lets your browser back in for 30 days. The cookie holds the link’s key and nothing about you. Once the site is public, no cookie is set.
Why
I rely on legitimate interests: to learn which pages are useful, to keep the site working and to answer the people who contact me. I don’t use the data for advertising or sell it, and nothing on this site follows you to other sites.
Who else holds it
Vercel, for hosting and analytics. Apple, for email. Cal.com, for booking, if you use it. Each may process data outside the UK and the EU, under its own data protection terms.
Your rights
You can ask to see the data I hold about you, to correct or delete it, and to restrict or object to how I use it. Write to dm@bigbadbird.ai. If you are not satisfied with the answer, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK, to the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados in Portugal, where I’m based, or to the data protection authority where you live in the EU.
