Privacy policy
I’m C.J. Ware. CJBuilt has built custom software, automation, and websites for clients since 2010. This site runs no advertising, no remarketing, and no embedded third-party content. The contact form posts straight to a script on this server, and every font and image is served from here too. The one exception is Google Analytics, described below, which is the only third-party service this site talks to.
Effective and last updated: September 2026.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics to understand traffic in general terms: which pages get visited, roughly how many people are visiting, what kind of device and browser they’re using, and which site or search engine sent them here. It doesn’t tell me who you are.
Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to do this, and the information it collects is sent to and processed by Google, subject to Google’s own privacy policy. Nothing else on this site sets a cookie. The only cookies here are the ones Google Analytics sets.
To opt out, you can block cookies in your browser’s settings, use a private/incognito window, or install Google’s Analytics opt-out browser add-on, which stops Google Analytics from collecting data on any site you visit, not just this one.
The contact form
If you fill in the contact form, the name, email address, phone number and message you send are emailed to me and land in my inbox. They are used only to reply to you. There is no database, no CRM, no mailing list, and no third-party form service in between: the form posts straight to a small script on this server that sends one email and nothing else.
I don’t share this information with anyone else. Not ever.
Server logs
The web host (SiteGround) keeps standard server logs, which include IP addresses, for security and troubleshooting. I don’t analyze them and they’re discarded on the host’s own schedule, not mine.
Spam protection
To stop automated form abuse, a short-lived fingerprint of the submitting IP address is stored only to count recent submissions from it. The address itself is not kept, and the fingerprint isn’t used for anything beyond that count. It’s cleared about an hour later, the next time the form is used.
If a message can’t be delivered
On the rare occasion email delivery fails, your submission is saved to a private, access-restricted location on the server so it isn’t lost, purely so I can follow up. If that location is itself unavailable, the submission is written instead to the server’s error log as a last resort, so nothing silently disappears. Either way, it isn’t published, indexed, or used for any other purpose.
Getting in touch about your data
Get in touch through the contact form and I’ll delete anything you’ve sent me, wherever it ended up: my inbox, the delivery-failure store, or the server’s error log. There’s no database, no CRM, and no mailing list; those three places are the only places a message can be.
