Gev Design ("we", "us") runs this site at gev.design. This page explains what we collect when you visit, why, and how to opt out.
The short version
We do not sell your data. There is no advertising on this site and no ad retargeting. Two things collect information here: the contact form and our analytics.
When you fill in the contact form
The form asks for your name, email address, a message, which services you are interested in, and how you heard about us. Submitting it emails those details to us through Resend, our email delivery provider, and sends you a confirmation of your own message. We use what you send to reply to you and, if we end up working together, to run the engagement.
We do not add you to a mailing list from this form.
Analytics
We use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to count page views and measure page performance. These are aggregate and privacy-friendly: they do not use cookies to track you across other websites.
One custom event fires when the contact form is submitted successfully. It records that a submission happened, how many services were ticked, and the referral category you chose from the fixed list. It is sent to Vercel Analytics and Google Analytics, and it deliberately does not carry your name, email address, or message.
We also use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and move through the site — which pages are viewed, roughly where visits come from, and what device and browser they use. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies on gev.design to tell one visit from the next. We use it for page views and the one form-submission event described above: no advertising features, and nothing you type into the contact form is sent to it. Google's own privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy, and Google offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics on every site at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Our host, Vercel, also keeps standard server logs, which include IP addresses, for security and reliability.
The newsletter
The Fractional Playbook is published on Substack. Subscribing happens on Substack, under their privacy policy — this site only reads and republishes the posts. We never see a subscriber list through this website.
Who we share information with
Only the providers that make the site work: Vercel (hosting and analytics), Google (analytics), and Resend (contact form email). We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with anyone else for their own marketing.
Your choices
You can opt out of Google Analytics using the link above. You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it — email gev@gev.design and we will act on it. If you are covered by the GDPR, PIPEDA, or the CCPA, those rights are yours by law and this is how you exercise them here.
Most browsers also let you block third-party scripts entirely, which stops the analytics.
Changes
If we add or remove a service that handles visitor data, we update this page at the same time and move the date at the top.
