Privacy.
This site works without visitor accounts, advertising trackers, or client-side analytics. The optional question assistant processes only what a visitor submits to it.
What this site processes
The website does not set its own cookies, create visitor accounts, or load an analytics script. Ordinary hosting request logs may contain an IP address, requested path, browser information, and timestamp.
Ask about David
When you submit a question on Ask about David, the server sends the question, up to six recent messages from the current browser conversation, and a small set of retrieved public portfolio passages to the OpenAI API. API response storage is disabled in the request, and this website does not save the conversation to a database.
Do not enter private records, student identities, client administration data, health or financial information, or confidential documents. Defined private-information requests are refused before a model request is made. A short-lived in-memory request counter is used to limit repeated requests.
External links
Links to GitHub, LinkedIn, BISS, live projects, and email open services with their own privacy practices. Following one may disclose your IP address and browser information to that service.
If you send an email, its contents and address are processed by the relevant mail providers. Do not send student case files, identity documents, confidential legal material, or other sensitive personal data through a first-contact email.
Humanitarian and fieldwork material
Private student records, correspondence, source documents, original fieldwork files, and raw photo metadata are not part of the website repository or public build. Public material requires a separate verification, rights, consent, and sensitivity review.
