Privacy policy

This site asks you for nothing. There is no contact form, no field to fill in, no newsletter, no pre-checked box. You can read every page without ever handing me anything.

To reach me, there is the phone. So you give me your number, necessarily, since it shows up when you call or text. That is the only personal information that reaches me, and what happens to it has its own section below.

The site also measures traffic and speed anonymously: which pages are visited, from what kind of device, how long a page takes to load. These measurements run through Google Analytics, which drops a cookie in your browser to tell one visit from another. What I see is totals: never a name, never an address, never you.

CJFG Studio keeps your work-in-progress site in your own browser’s storage. That content never leaves your device and I have no access to it. Clear your browser storage and it is gone.

To answer you. That is the only reason.

I don’t send you a newsletter because you wrote to me once. I don’t sign you up anywhere. I never sell or share your details with anyone, at any price.

If I ever start a newsletter, you will have to subscribe yourself, on purpose, and you will be able to leave in one click.

There is no form on this site any more, so there is nothing to route. When you call or text, your number reaches my mobile, and that is the whole of it.

The site runs on infrastructure that logs requests, like any hosting does. Those technical logs are kept briefly and serve security and troubleshooting.

The site uses Google Analytics to count visits, so Google receives the page you viewed, your device type, and the country the visit came from. There is no Facebook pixel and no ad network here.

When you call, an automated system offers to put you through to me, create your website for free and text it to you, or answer a question. If you choose to speak with me, the call is transferred immediately.

Unlike the contact form, a call involves two providers. Twilio carries the call and transcribes what you say. Anthropic runs the model that holds the conversation. I am telling you because it is true and because you have the right to know before you speak.

No audio recording is kept. The transcript lives for the length of the call, then goes away with it: nothing is written to a database, not on my side, not anywhere else. There is no call archive for you to have erased, because there never was one.

Your phone number serves two purposes and nothing else: texting you the mockup built during the call, and confirming that I will call you back. It enters no list and is used for no solicitation.

If talking to a machine does not appeal to you, you have two ways out from the first second: ask for the transfer, or hang up and text me at the same number. Neither one costs you anything.

There is no inbox to empty: calls leave no archive behind. What remains is my project notes, kept for as long as our working relationship lasts.

If you never became a client and we have nothing left to discuss, it gets cleaned out.

You can also ask me to delete it before that, and I will, without asking why.

In Québec, Law 25 gives you the right to know what a business holds about you, to have it corrected, and to have it erased.

Here, you exercise that by writing to me. No special form, no thirty-day delay stretched to its limit: you ask, I answer, and I confirm when it’s done.

If a data breach ever touched your information, I would tell you directly, rather than let you find out somewhere else.

Me. Jean-François Gauthier, ConceptionJFG. There is no legal department to hand you off to: the same person designs the site, receives your messages, and answers your questions about your data.

If anything here seems vague or incomplete, tell me. A privacy policy nobody understands protects nobody.
