This Privacy Policy explains how carlmoellenberg.com (the “Site”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit or interact with it. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

We aim to collect only what is necessary to operate the Site and respond to inquiries. The information we may collect includes:

• Information you provide. If you submit the contact form or sign up for the newsletter, we collect the name, email address, subject, and message you provide.
• Log and device data. Our hosting provider may automatically log standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, referring page, and timestamps. This information is used for security and performance purposes.
• Analytics. We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages are visited and how the Site is performing in aggregate. We do not attempt to identify individual visitors through analytics data.

The information we collect is used to:

• Respond to messages sent through the contact form.
• Send newsletter updates about new work, appearances, and writing to those who have subscribed.
• Operate, secure, and improve the Site.
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

Third-Party Service Providers

The Site relies on a small number of third-party services to function. These providers may process limited information on our behalf:

• Hosting. The Site is hosted by Vercel, which processes requests and logs to deliver pages.
• Email. Contact form and newsletter submissions are delivered via Resend, which transmits the messages you send.

These providers have their own privacy practices. We only share the information necessary for them to perform their role.
