Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 31, 2025

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how this site and any associated subdomains under the thomastepi.com domain collect, use, and store data. By continuing to use www.thomastepi.com or any of its subdomains, you agree to the practices described below.

Scope

This policy applies to the following domains and projects:

  • Main Portfolio Site: www.thomastepi.com

  • Resume Builder App: resumecraft.thomastepi.com

  • Sawyer Camp Farmers: sawyercamp.thomastepi.com

  • Annette's Beauty & SPA: annette.thomastepi.com

  • Book Mart: bookmart.thomastepi.com

Each subdomain may provide different functionality, but the core data principles outlined here remain consistent.

What Data Is Collected

Google Analytics (Main Portfolio Site Only)

Google Analytics is used on www.thomastepi.com to understand general site usage, but only after you give consent.

Anonymized data collected may include:

  • Device Information (browser type, operating system, device category)

  • Approximate geographic location (country, region, and city level only)

  • Website Interactions (pages visited, time spent, clicks, scrolling behavior)

  • Traffic Sources (referral links, search engines, direct visits)

If you click links from the main site to a subdomain, tracking parameters may be added to the URL. These are not read or processed by the subdomains.

No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected or stored. Your IP address is anonymized, and data is retained for a limited period.

Cookies and Preferences

This site uses a combination of essential cookies and local storage to enhance your experience.

Essential Cookies (Always Active):

  • Language Preference: Stores the language you've selected (e.g English or French) using a cookie so the correct content is shown across pages and visits.

  • Cookie Consent Choice: Saves whether you’ve accepted or rejected analytics cookies so you’re not repeatedly prompted.

Optional Cookies (Require Active Consent):

  • Google Analytics Cookies: Used only on the main portfolio site to track anonymized usage data.

Local Storage (Non-Tracking Preferences):

  • Theme Preference: Stores your dark or light mode selection locally. This information is not shared or sent to any server.

⚠️ Implied Consent: If you continue using the homepage without interacting with the cookie banner and scroll beyond a certain point, this is treated as full consent to store all cookies, including optional ones like Google Analytics. This allows the site to provide a consistent experience and collect anonymized traffic data where applicable.

Your cookie settings are saved for 90 days. After that, you’ll be prompted to confirm your preferences again.

Contact Forms and User Accounts

Some subdomains may include contact forms or account registration.

When you submit a message or register, the following information may be collected:

    Name (for personalization)

    Email Address (for contact or login purposes)

    Message or account details

This information is stored securely and used solely to respond to your request or provide account-related features.

Guest Users

Some projects (such as resumecraft.thomastepi.com) allow usage without an account.

As a guest:

    You are not required to register.

    No personal data is stored unless you manually enter it.

If you later sign up, only the data you provide is stored.

Your Privacy Options

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on:

Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on

To request deletion of your submitted data, please send an email to: contact@thomastepi.com

Data Retention

  • Google Analytics Data: Retained for 14 months.

  • Contact Form Submissions: Retained for 6 months for follow-ups.

  • User Accounts (if applicable): Stored securely for as long as the account remains active

Data Security

Reasonable security measures are in place to protect collected data from unauthorized access, alteration, or misuse. However, no online system is completely immune to risks.

Policy Updates

This Privacy Policy may be updated occasionally to reflect changes in functionality, legal requirements, or services. The latest version will always be available on this page.
