PRIVACY POLICY FOR ERICSTRATE.COM

Effective Date: July 4, 2026

Last Updated: July 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how ericstrate.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and discloses your information when you visit this website. This website serves as a personal resume, blog, and professional portfolio.

We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with California data protection laws, including the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

Unlike typical corporate websites, ericstrate.com minimizes data collection:

• No Contact Forms: We do not host a contact form, and we do not request or collect your name, phone number, physical address, or email address.

• No Marketing or Newsletters: We do not manage email lists or send promotional communications.

• No User Accounts: There is no registration system or login portal available on this site.

2. Information Automatically Collected (Passive Data)

When you navigate ericstrate.com, certain non-identifying technical data may be automatically recorded by our web hosting server or basic analytical infrastructure:

• Log Data: This includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages viewed.

• Cookies and Tracking: This site does not deploy third-party advertising cookies, behavioral tracking pixels (e.g., Meta Pixel), or advanced tracking mechanisms. If basic server-side or cookie-free analytics (e.g., Cloudflare Web Analytics) are used, they only process aggregated, anonymous traffic metrics.

3. How We Use Your Information

Any passively collected technical data is strictly utilized to:

• Ensure the security, stability, and operational integrity of the website.

• Monitor generic server performance and technical errors.

4. Third-Party Sharing and Data Sales

• No Sale or Sharing of Data: We do not sell, rent, trade, or share any personal data with third parties for marketing or commercial monetization.

• No Financial Incentives: We do not offer financial incentives or loyalty discounts in exchange for consumer data.

5. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA Notice)

If you are a California resident, California law grants you specific rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Know/Access: The right to confirm whether we process your personal data and to request disclosure of the specific categories of data collected.

• Right to Delete: The right to request the erasure of personal data collected from you.

• Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing: The right to block the sale or sharing of your data (Note: We do not sell or share data, making this automatically active).

• Right to Non-Discrimination: The right to exercise your privacy rights without facing discriminatory treatment or reduced site functionality.

Exercising Your Rights: Because ericstrate.com does not collect or maintain names, emails, or consumer identities, we generally have no verifiable way to link an access request to an individual visitor. If you wish to query server log files or submit a request, you may contact the site operator directly via the contact methods listed on our public professional profiles (such as LinkedIn).

6. Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC)

We respect browser-based privacy settings. Our website structure natively honors Global Privacy Control (GPC) opt-out signals and Do Not Track (DNT) requests by refraining from initiating behavioral cross-site tracking or commercial scripts.

7. Children’s Privacy

This website is a professional portfolio intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly target or collect personal information from individuals under the age of 13, in alignment with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this policy at our discretion. Any modifications will be posted instantly on this page with an updated “Last Updated” timestamp.
