Privacy Policy

How this site handles information.

Last updated: August 1, 2026

Overview

ThomasLinze.com is a personal website for my professional profile, projects, contact form, and client portal. I collect only the information needed to operate the site, respond to messages, provide access to private project pages, and protect the site from spam or abuse.

Information You Provide

If you use the contact form, I collect the name, email address, subject, and message you choose to send. I use that information to read your message and respond to you.

If you use the Client Portal, I process the access code you submit so the site can determine whether it should open a private project, shared media page, or related destination.

Security And Abuse Prevention

This site may log limited technical information for security, spam prevention, and abuse prevention. For the Client Portal, that may include hashed access codes, hashed IP address/session identifiers, browser user agent, whether an attempt succeeded, and the time of the attempt.

This site uses Cloudflare Turnstile to help reduce spam and automated abuse. Cloudflare may receive information needed to verify that a visitor is likely human.

How Information Is Used

I use collected information to:

  • Respond to messages sent through the contact form.
  • Provide access to private client or project pages when a valid code is submitted.
  • Monitor, investigate, and block suspicious or abusive access attempts.
  • Maintain the reliability and security of the website.

Sharing

I do not sell personal information. I may share or process information through service providers needed to run the site, such as website hosting, email delivery, and Cloudflare Turnstile.

Retention

Contact messages may be kept in my email records so I can respond and refer back to prior conversations. Client Portal access logs may be kept for security review and abuse prevention. I remove information when it is no longer useful for those purposes.

Cookies And Analytics

This site does not currently use advertising cookies or analytics tracking. The admin area and Client Portal may use necessary session cookies to keep security-related functionality working.

Contact

If you have a privacy question or want to ask about information you submitted through this site, contact me through the contact form on the homepage.
