Privacy policy

This privacy policy describes how personal information is handled on fabiandelafuente.com, a personal static biography and portfolio site operated by Fabian de la Fuente (“I”, “me”, “controller”), based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

1. Who is responsible

Controller: Fabian de la Fuente, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Contact: fabian@iboard.ca

This site is a personal / professional bio site. It is not a commercial e-commerce service and does not run advertising networks.

2. What this site collects

The static pages themselves do not use tracking cookies, analytics pixels, or advertising identifiers beyond what is strictly needed to deliver the pages.

• Server / hosting logs: The site is hosted with IONOS. Like most hosts, IONOS may automatically record technical logs (for example IP address, browser type, date/time, and requested URL) for security, abuse prevention, and service reliability. Retention follows IONOS’s practices.
• Contact via mailto: The contact page can open your device’s email application with a pre-filled message to fabian@iboard.ca. Message content is processed as ordinary email correspondence by me; it is not stored by a form backend on this domain.
• Calendly: Booking uses Calendly (calendly.com/fabian-iboard/30min). If you book a meeting, Calendly processes your name, email, and related scheduling data under Calendly’s privacy policy. That information is shared with me as the event organizer.
• Portfolio access gate: The private portfolio page may store a one-time unlock flag in your browser’s localStorage so you are not asked for the same access code again on that device. No account is created. Codes are verified in the browser against hashed values; unused codes are issued manually.
• Fonts: Web fonts may be loaded from Google Fonts. Your browser may contact Google’s servers to retrieve font files; see Google’s privacy documentation for CDN requests.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

Essential / functional only. This site does not set non-essential tracking cookies for advertising or cross-site profiling.

• Third-party embeds (Calendly) may set their own cookies or local storage when you interact with their widget. Those are governed by Calendly.
• Browser localStorage may hold a portfolio unlock preference after you enter a valid access code.

You can clear cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time.

4. Why information is used (purposes)

• To respond to messages you send and to schedule calls you request.
• To operate, secure, and maintain the website (including host logs).
• To grant discretionary access to private portfolio materials.

Legal bases under Canadian privacy expectations (PIPEDA principles and, where applicable, BC PIPA for private-sector activity) include: responding to your requests, legitimate interests in operating a personal professional site securely, and consent where you voluntarily submit information (email, Calendly booking, access request).

5. Sharing

I do not sell personal information. Information may be processed by:

• IONOS — website hosting and related infrastructure.
• Calendly — meeting scheduling when you choose to book.
• Email providers — when you email me or open a mailto link.

I may disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, or the security of the site.

6. International transfers

Service providers (for example hosting, Calendly, font CDNs, or email) may process data in Canada, the United States, or other countries. Where that occurs, it is incidental to using those services.

7. Retention

• Email correspondence is kept as long as needed for the conversation and ordinary record-keeping, then deleted or archived according to my practice.
• Calendly event data follows Calendly’s retention tools and my calendar records.
• Host logs follow IONOS retention.
• Browser localStorage unlock flags remain until you clear site data.

8. Your choices and rights

Depending on applicable Canadian law, you may request access to, or correction of, personal information I hold about you from this site’s correspondence, and you may withdraw consent for future contact. Contact fabian@iboard.ca. You may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia with concerns.

9. Children

This site is aimed at adults in a professional context. It is not directed at children under 13 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction for online consent).

10. Security

No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure. I use reputable hosts and limit collection on this static site. Please avoid sending highly sensitive secrets through the public contact form or Calendly notes.

11. Changes

I may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when material updates are published.
