Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 10, 2025

I’m Christine Rose, and this is my personal website documenting my work in pattern recognition, AI collaboration, and investigative research. Since I write about corporate transparency and AI system behavior, I believe in practicing what I preach. This policy explains exactly what data I collect, why, and what I do with it.

What I Collect and Why

Contact Form: When you fill out my contact form, I collect your name, email address, and whatever you write in your message. I use this solely to respond to you. I don’t sell it, share it, or add you to any mailing lists without explicit permission.

Cookies: This site uses basic WordPress cookies for:

Remembering your cookie consent choice
Managing site sessions (if you’re logged into admin areas – which you shouldn’t be unless you’re me)

I don’t use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics cookies that follow you around the internet.

Embedded Content: Some pages include embedded YouTube videos. When you watch these, YouTube may set their own cookies and track your viewing. That’s YouTube’s doing, not mine. Their privacy policy is here: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Server Logs: My web host keeps standard server logs (IP addresses, browser types, pages visited) for security and troubleshooting. These are retained according to their policy, not mine.

What I Don’t Collect

I don’t use:

Google Analytics or similar tracking
Advertising networks
Social media pixels
Newsletter services (unless you explicitly sign up for something I create in the future)
Comment systems (comments are disabled)

Your Rights

You can:

Request a copy of any data I have about you (probably just your contact form submission)
Request deletion of your data
Opt out of cookies (though the site won’t work as well)

To exercise these rights: Email me at crispyrosellc@gmail.com

How Long I Keep Your Data

Contact form submissions: Until you ask me to delete them, or until they’re no longer relevant to our conversation
Server logs: Per my hosting provider’s retention policy (typically 30-90 days)
Cookies: Until you clear them or they expire (varies by type)

Updates to This Policy

If I make significant changes, I’ll update the “Last Updated” date at the top. I won’t make changes that materially affect your privacy without clear notice.

Questions?

If you have concerns about how I handle your data, or you’ve noticed I’m not following my own policy, please let me know: crispyrosellc@gmail.com

I take this seriously – both legally and because transparency matters.
