Privacy Policy
This website is a personal portfolio and professional profile operated at tomtapia.github.io. Its purpose is to share public information about my experience, certifications, projects, talks, and professional contact channels. I keep the site intentionally simple and do not use it as a product, customer portal, or account-based service.
What Information This Site Collects
This site may collect limited technical and usage information through analytics tools in order to understand aggregate traffic, page performance, and general visitor behavior. That may include information such as page views, referring sources, browser type, device type, approximate geography, and interaction patterns. I do not use this website to collect sensitive personal information, user account data, or payment information.
Cookies and Analytics
The website may rely on analytics and third-party resources that use cookies or similar technologies to measure traffic, deliver scripts, or improve reliability. Those technologies are used for basic site measurement and operational purposes, not for building a commercial advertising profile about individual visitors.
Third-Party Services and External Links
The site loads third-party resources such as fonts, icon libraries, analytics scripts, and frontend frameworks. It also links to external services including GitHub, LinkedIn, YouTube, Credly, Coursera, Google Cloud Skills Boost, and other credential or social platforms. When you interact with those external services, they may process technical data under their own privacy policies and terms, which are outside my control.
How Personal Data Is Handled
I do not provide account registration, checkout flows, or custom intake forms on this website. If you decide to contact me through an external platform linked from the site, any personal information you share there is governed by that platform and by the context of your message. I do not intentionally request sensitive categories of personal data through this website.
Data Retention and Security
Because this site is primarily static, I do not maintain a separate user database for visitors. Limited technical data may still be processed by hosting providers, CDN infrastructure, analytics services, or the third-party platforms referenced above. I make reasonable efforts to keep the site technically maintained and to avoid unnecessary collection, but no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
Updates to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated if the site structure, analytics tooling, or legal needs change. The publication date shown on this page reflects the most recent revision that has been published to the website.
Contact
If you have a privacy-related question, you can reach me through the professional channels linked on the homepage, including LinkedIn or GitHub. For general trust and clarity, this page is intended to document how the site works today and what kinds of data use should reasonably be expected from a personal portfolio website.
