Privacy Policy
Effective date: [Oct 01, 2025]
This site, anthonyveltri.com, is a personal website run by me, Anthony Veltri.
It exists to share doctrine, field notes, and information about my work.
This policy explains what information may be collected when you use the site and how it is used.
What this site does
- Publishes articles, guides, and field notes
- May host a contact form so you can send me a message
- May include email sign up forms for newsletters or updates
- Uses standard security and spam protection tools
There are no public user accounts and no online store on this site.
Information you share directly
You might share information with me in these ways:
- Contact forms or email
If you send a message, I receive the information you enter (for example your name, email address, and the content of your message). I use this only to reply and keep track of the conversation. - Comments
If comments are enabled on a post and you leave a comment, the site may collect the data shown in the comment form, plus your IP address and browser user agent to help with spam detection.
If you use a Gravatar account, an anonymized version of your email address may be sent to Gravatar to show your profile image next to your comment. - Email subscriptions
If you subscribe to a newsletter or email list, the email service will store your email address and any other information you choose to provide (for example your name). You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
I do not sell or rent this information to third parties.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, some technical information is collected automatically when you visit, for example:
- IP address and approximate location
- Browser type and version
- Pages visited and time spent on the site
- Referring site (how you arrived here)
This may be collected through server logs, security plugins, and analytics tools.
If I use an analytics service such as Google Analytics, it uses cookies and similar technologies to help understand how visitors use the site. The data is used in aggregate form to improve content and performance, not to build individual profiles.
Cookies
This site may use cookies for:
- Basic site functions (for example remembering cookie preferences)
- Comment convenience (so you do not have to retype your name and email each time)
- Security and spam protection
- Analytics, as described above
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work correctly without them.
Embedded content from other sites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or code from other websites.
Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the other website directly. Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with their content. Their use of your data is covered by their own privacy policies.
How long information is kept
- Contact messages may be kept as long as needed to handle the conversation and maintain a record of important exchanges.
- Comments (if enabled) and their metadata may be kept indefinitely so that future comments can be recognized and approved automatically.
- Email subscription data is kept as long as you stay subscribed. If you unsubscribe, your status is updated to reflect that choice and I will not send you further marketing emails.
Who can access your information
Access to any personal data is limited to:
- Me, as the site owner
- Service providers that help operate the site, such as web hosting, email service providers, analytics or spam filtering tools
These providers only receive the information that is reasonably necessary to provide their service.
Your choices and rights
If you have submitted personal information through this site, you can request:
- A copy of the personal data held about you
- Correction of inaccurate information
- Deletion of your personal data, where legally allowed
To make a request, contact me using the details below. I may need to verify your identity before acting on the request.
If you live in the European Union, United Kingdom, or another region with data protection laws, you may have additional rights under your local regulations. You can contact me to exercise those rights in relation to this site.

Changes to this policy
If I update this policy, I will change the effective date at the top. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
