Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 16, 2025
This website (the “Site”) is operated by Bobby Hougham (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about the data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
We do not sell personal information.
We collect only what’s needed to operate the Site and respond to you.
You can contact us anytime at info@hougham.us.
What this policy covers
This policy explains how we handle personal information when you visit or interact with the Site, contact us (for example by email), or view content hosted by third parties we use to run the Site (see Hosting & Embedded Services below).
This policy does not cover the privacy practices of those third parties. When you interact with their services (for example, playing an embedded video), their own privacy policies apply.
Information we collect
(Information you choose to provide)
If you contact us or request information, we will receive the personal details you provide (for example, your name, email address, and the contents of your message).
(Information collected automatically)
Like most websites, limited technical information may be collected automatically when you visit the Site, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring/exit pages, and timestamps. Some of this information is gathered through cookies or similar technologies used by our hosting platform and embedded services (see Cookies & Similar Technologies and Hosting & Embedded Services).
We do not use this information to identify you personally unless necessary for security or to respond to a request you made.
(Sensitive information)
Please do not send us sensitive personal information (e.g., health information, government ID numbers, financial account details) via the Site or email.
Cookies & similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites function and collect analytics. Our Site may use cookies that are necessary for it to work, and our hosting/embedded providers may set additional cookies when their content loads. You can control cookies through your browser settings, and (if presented) through the Site’s cookie banner/preferences tool.
If you disable some cookies, portions of the Site (such as embedded video) may not function properly.
Hosting & Embedded Services we use
We rely on a small set of third‑party services to publish the Site and deliver media. When their content is loaded on a page you view or when you click through to their sites, those providers may collect information about your device and activity and may set cookies or use similar technologies. Below is a summary and links to their policies:
Framer (site hosting & publishing)
We build and host this Site on Framer. When you access the Site, Framer may collect log and usage information (e.g., IP address, device/browser data, pages viewed) and use cookies for essential operations, performance, analytics, or advertising as described in Framer’s privacy and cookie notices. Payments, if any, are handled by Framer’s payment processor; we do not collect payment card data on this Site.
Learn more: Framer Privacy Statement and Cookie Policy.
Vimeo (video hosting & embeds)
We use Vimeo to host and embed video. When you load a page with a Vimeo player, Vimeo may set cookies (for example, to remember player settings and provide analytics for the video owner) and may receive your IP address, device information, and interactions with the player. The Vimeo player supports a "Do Not Track" parameter that reduces Vimeo’s setting of new cookies for that session; however, this does not remove cookies previously stored in your browser. Some anti‑bot and security cookies may also be set by Vimeo’s infrastructure provider(s).
Learn more: Vimeo Cookie Policy and Vimeo Player Cookies.
Gumlet (media optimization/CDN)
We may use Gumlet to optimize and deliver images/video. When media is served by Gumlet, they may receive your IP address and browser information and may set cookies required to operate their service. Gumlet states that data may be processed in the U.S. for non‑EU users and in Frankfurt for EU users.
Learn more: Gumlet Privacy Policy.
Medium (articles hosted off‑site)
We sometimes link to essays hosted on Medium. If you click through to Medium, Medium may collect information you provide and information it gathers automatically (e.g., device, usage, and cookie data) and may use third‑party analytics per its policy. Our Site does not control Medium’s data collection or use.
Learn more: Medium Privacy Policy.
Important: Interacting with any third‑party content is governed by that provider’s own terms and privacy policy. We encourage you to review those policies before interacting with embedded content or following links off‑site.
When we share information
We do not sell personal information. We may share personal information:
With service providers who work on our behalf (e.g., our hosting platform) under appropriate contracts;
To comply with law or legal process, or to protect our rights, safety, or users;
In connection with a business transaction (e.g., merger or asset transfer), where permitted by law.
Data retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, to comply with our legal obligations, or as otherwise permitted by law. Email correspondence you send us may be kept for reference and recordkeeping.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we handle. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure.
Your choices & rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information, or to object to/limit certain processing. You can also:
Adjust cookie settings in your browser and (if available) in our cookie banner/preferences tool;
Contact us to make a privacy request at info@hougham.us.
We will respond consistent with applicable laws.
Children’s privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
International transfers
If you visit the Site from outside the United States, be aware that information may be processed in the United States and other countries that may have different data‑protection laws than your country of residence.
