1. Introduction

This privacy policy explains how Paul Johnson ("I", "me", "my") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit pauljohnson.ai (the "Website"). I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting any personal data you share with me.

2. Information I Collect

I may collect the following types of information:

• Information you provide directly: If you contact me via email or a contact form, I receive your name, email address, and any information you include in your message.
• Automatically collected information: When you visit the Website, standard web server logs may record your IP address, browser type, referring page, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit.

3. How I Use Your Information

Any information collected is used solely to:

• Respond to enquiries and messages you send me
• Understand how visitors use the Website so I can improve it
• Maintain the security and performance of the Website

I do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

4. Cookies and Analytics

The Website may use cookies or similar technologies for basic functionality and analytics. These help me understand visitor patterns but do not personally identify you. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences.

If the Website uses third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics), those services may collect anonymised usage data subject to their own privacy policies.

5. Third-Party Links

The Website contains links to external sites (such as Amazon, LinkedIn, portfolio company websites, and media outlets). I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. I encourage you to review their privacy policies when visiting.

6. Data Retention

I retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy. Email correspondence is retained at my discretion and deleted when no longer needed.

7. Data Security

I take reasonable measures to protect your information, including using HTTPS encryption across the Website. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data I hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, please contact me at paul@pdjohnson.net.

9. Children's Privacy

The Website is not directed at individuals under the age of 16. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided me with personal data, please contact me and I will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

I may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Your continued use of the Website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
