Legal & privacy
Privacy & Cookie Policy
AFM Tech 360 is a personal professional portfolio operated by Alexandra McKinnon. This policy explains what information may be processed when you visit this website and the choices available to you.
1. Who operates this website
Alexandra McKinnon is responsible for this website and its privacy practices. For privacy questions or requests, contact Alexandra through the LinkedIn profile linked here.
2. Information processed
Hosting and security logs
This website is hosted by IONOS. Like most hosting providers, IONOS may automatically process technical request data such as IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, timestamps, referrer information, and security events. This data is used to deliver the website, maintain security, diagnose problems, and prevent abuse.
Information you choose to provide
This website does not currently provide a contact form, user account, checkout, newsletter, or comment feature. If you contact Alexandra using a linked third-party service, that service's own privacy policy applies.
3. Cookies and similar storage
| Technology | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
afmtech360-consent in local browser storage | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected optional technologies. This is treated as necessary preference storage. | Up to 180 days, unless you clear browser data sooner. |
No advertising or audience-measurement cookies are currently installed. Optional analytics remain disabled unless you give consent. You may reopen “Cookie preferences†in the footer at any time and change your choice.
4. Third-party services
IONOS
IONOS provides website hosting and may process technical data as a service provider for site delivery and security. See the IONOS privacy policy.
Google Fonts
The fonts used by this website are stored on the same web server as the site. Loading the site's typography does not require a connection to Google Fonts or another font provider.
External links
The site links to services such as GitHub and LinkedIn. Visiting those services is your choice and their privacy terms apply after you follow a link.
5. Purposes and legal grounds
Technical data is processed as necessary to provide and secure the website and, where applicable, based on legitimate interests in operating a reliable professional portfolio. Optional technologies that require consent are not activated unless consent is given. Consent may be withdrawn at any time through the footer preferences control.
6. Sharing, sales, and advertising
AFM Tech 360 does not sell personal information, use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, or knowingly share it for targeted advertising. Technical data may be handled by hosting and infrastructure providers only as needed to operate and protect the site or when required by law.
7. Retention and security
The consent preference is kept for up to 180 days. Hosting log retention is controlled by IONOS and applicable account settings. Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect the site, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.
8. Your privacy choices and rights
Depending on where you live and which law applies, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent. You may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority. Submit a request using the contact method in Section 1. Identity may need to be verified before a request is completed.
Browser-based Global Privacy Control signals are treated as an opt-out of optional analytics. Because this site does not sell or share personal information for targeted advertising, no additional sale/share opt-out is currently required for the site's stated practices.
9. Children's privacy
This professional portfolio is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
10. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the website's technology or practices change. The effective date at the top will be revised when material changes are published.
