Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 06/11/2025
1. Who I Am
My name is Odin Bryant, and this website is my personal platform for sharing my work, projects, and ideas.
I am an individual based in the United Kingdom. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how I handle your data, you can contact me directly at: info@odinbryant.com
2. What This Policy Covers
This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, share, and protect your personal data when you visit odinbryant.com or interact with me online. It applies to all visitors to this website.
3. The Data I Collect
I collect only the data necessary to operate this website and communicate with people who contact me. That may include:
- Contact Information: your name, email address, or social handle when you reach out to me.
- Technical Data: your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and general location (via analytics tools including but not limited to Google Analytics and Cloudflare).
- Usage Data: information on how you interact with my site, pages visited, time spent, etc.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: small files stored on your device for analytics and functionality (you can manage or disable these in your browser).
I do not knowingly collect sensitive data.
4. Why I Collect It (Purpose & Lawful Basis)
| Purpose | Lawful Basis (UK/EU GDPR) | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| To operate and secure my website | Legitimate interest | Server logs, analytics, security tools |
| To respond to messages or enquiries | Consent / Contract | When you email or submit a form |
| To understand site performance | Legitimate interest | Aggregated analytics (non-identifiable) |
| To comply with legal obligations | Legal obligation | Record-keeping, security monitoring |
If I ever rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time by contacting me at: info@odinbryant.com.
5. How I Use and Share Data
I use your data only to communicate, improve this site, or ensure security.
I do not sell, rent, or trade personal data.
I may share limited data with:
- Service providers (like hosting providers, analytics platforms, or email tools) solely for technical operation.
- Legal authorities if required by law or to protect my rights or others’ safety.
All third-party providers I use must comply with GDPR-level standards.
6. International Data Transfers
Because I use cloud services (for example, hosting or analytics that may store data in the US or EU), your data may be transferred outside your country.
Where that happens:
- For UK/EU visitors, I rely on adequacy decisions (e.g. UK → EEA) or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission.
- For US visitors, transfers occur only to providers who follow recognised frameworks (such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or equivalent protections).
7. How Long I Keep Data
I retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose it was collected for which is typically:
- Contact enquiries: up to 12 months after communication ends
- Analytics & logs: anonymised or deleted within 26 months
When no longer needed, data is securely deleted or anonymised.
8. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, your rights may include but are not limited to:
UK / EU (GDPR and UK GDPR)
- Access your data
- Request correction or deletion
- Restrict or object to processing
- Data portability
- Withdraw consent at any time
- Lodge a complaint with your data protection authority (e.g. ICO in the UK)
United States (CCPA/CPRA and similar)
- Know what data is collected and why
- Request deletion of personal information
- Opt-out of sale or sharing of personal information
- Non-discrimination for exercising these rights
To exercise any right, contact me at info@odinbryant.com.
9. Cookies
This website does not use cookies.
10. Security
I use industry-standard security measures (HTTPS, access controls, encryption where possible) to protect your data.
However, no system is perfectly secure, you share information at your own risk.
11. Children
This website is not directed at children under 18, and I do not knowingly collect their data.
12. Changes to This Policy
I may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in law or operations.

Material updates will be clearly communicated on the website.
