# Privacy Policy | dancingteeth

Last updated: 2026-08-29

## Who we are

dancingteeth.net is the personal site of Paul Zgordan (digital producer, artist, builder). For privacy questions, email privacy@dancingteeth.net.

## What we collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may process:

• Messages you send through the on-site chat assistant
• Technical data your browser sends automatically (IP address, device type, pages viewed)
• Cookie and consent choices (stored in the `dt_cookie_consent` cookie when you use the banner)
• Information you email us directly

We do not run a shop on this website. Order or payment data for other projects is handled on separate services with their own policies.

## How we use information

We use this information to:

• Operate and secure the website
• Answer questions through the chat assistant
• Understand aggregate traffic (only if you allow analytics cookies)
• Comply with law and defend against abuse
• Improve content and performance

## Cookies

We use essential cookies to remember your cookie choices and keep basic features working. Optional analytics cookies are off by default and load only if you opt in through the cookie banner. We do not use marketing cookies on this site today.

When you allow analytics, we use PostHog (EU cloud at eu.posthog.com) to collect anonymous usage data such as pages viewed and basic interactions. PostHog sets first-party analytics cookies only after you consent.

You can change your mind anytime by clearing site data or revisiting the site in a private window to see the banner again.

## Legal basis (GDPR)

Where EU/UK/Swiss law applies, we rely on:

• Consent — optional cookies and some analytics
• Legitimate interests — security, basic site operation, and improving the site
• Contract — when you ask us to respond to a direct request

You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing.

## How long we keep data

• Cookie consent records: about six months, unless you clear them sooner
• Server logs: typically up to 90 days
• Chat messages: only as long as needed to operate the assistant and prevent abuse
• Email correspondence: as long as needed to handle your request, then archived or deleted

## Who we share data with

We use service providers that process data on our behalf, such as:

• Hosting and CDN (for example Cloudflare)
• The Maxin DXP content backend that powers site copy and the chat assistant
• AI providers when you use the chat feature (your message is sent to generate a reply)
• PostHog (EU cloud) for optional, consent-based website analytics

We do not sell your personal information.

## Your rights

You may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or export your personal data, and to object to certain processing. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

To exercise your rights, email privacy@dancingteeth.net. We respond within one month where GDPR applies.

## International transfers

Our providers may process data outside your country. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

## Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the latest version.
