Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 16, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how Jeff Schuette ("I," "me," or "my") collects, uses, and discloses information when you visit my website at jeff-schuette.com (the "Website"). I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting it through this policy.

​

Information I Collect

Information You Provide Voluntarily

The Website does not include contact forms, newsletters, user accounts, or any interactive features that require you to submit personal information directly to me. If you contact me via email, phone, or other external means listed on the Website (such as links to social media or my provided contact details), any information you share is handled outside of the Website and is not collected or stored through it.

​

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit the Website, certain information may be collected automatically through standard web server logs or third-party services (if any are used). This may include:

​

• Your IP address

• Browser type and version

• Device information

• Referring pages and timestamps

​​

I do not actively collect personal information beyond what is standard for basic website hosting. The Website is primarily a static portfolio site showcasing professional information and does not use cookies, tracking pixels, or analytics tools that collect personal data (unless provided by the hosting service for essential functionality).

If third-party services (such as web hosting providers) collect data on my behalf, their use is limited to maintaining the Website's operation.

​

How I Use Information

Any automatically collected information is used solely for:

• Improving the Website's performance and security

• Diagnosing technical issues

• Complying with legal obligations

I do not use collected information for marketing, advertising, profiling, or sharing with third parties for their own purposes.

​

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website does not use cookies or similar tracking technologies. If this changes in the future, I will update this policy and provide notice where required by law.

​

Third-Party Links

The Website may contain links to external sites, such as social media platforms (Instagram, TikTok, X/Twitter, YouTube). These sites have their own privacy policies, and I am not responsible for their practices. I recommend reviewing their policies before interacting.

​

Data Sharing and Disclosure

I do not sell, rent, or share any information collected through the Website with third parties, except:

• As required by law (e.g., in response to a subpoena or legal process)

• To protect my rights, safety, or property

• With service providers (e.g., hosting companies) bound by confidentiality and limited to essential services

​​

Data Security

I take reasonable measures to protect the Website from unauthorized access, but no online transmission or storage is completely secure. The Website is a simple portfolio site with minimal data processing.

​

Children's Privacy

The Website is not intended for children under 16 years of age. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

​

International Users

The Website is hosted in the United States. If you access it from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to and processed in the U.S., where privacy laws may differ.

​

Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Website after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
