The forms

The contact form collects your name, your email address and your message. The mentorship form also asks for your student's school year, your country or time zone, their coding experience, how you heard about the course, and anything else you choose to tell me.

I use these details only to reply to you and, for a mentorship enquiry, to arrange a conversation. I do not share them with anyone else or use them for marketing. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in replying to messages sent to me, and, for a mentorship enquiry, the steps you have asked me to take before any agreement.

The forms are run by Formspree, Inc., a company based in the United States. Formspree receives what you submit, stores it on its servers and delivers it to my email. Its privacy policy explains how it handles data.

I keep messages for as long as they are useful for replying to you and, if your student takes the course, for running it. Formspree also keeps each message in my account for 30 days.

Video

The Mentorship page has a video from YouTube. Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play. The player then runs in YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode, in which YouTube says that watching a video here does not change what you see on YouTube. Once the player loads, YouTube may store information in your browser under Google's privacy policy.

Hosting

The site is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub logs visitors' IP addresses for security, as its privacy statement describes.

Your data

You can ask me what I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. Email me at mh2143 [at] cam.ac.uk. If you are unhappy with how I have handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
