Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Joshua8.AI runs a simple, static website. We use analytics to understand how the site is used, and beyond that we collect only the information you choose to send us. We don't sell your data or run ads on this site. This policy explains exactly what is collected, and your rights under laws such as the EU/UK GDPR.

Who We Are (Data Controller)

Joshua8.AI, with offices in McLean, VA, USA, is the controller of the personal data described below. Contact: [email protected].

What We Collect

This site has no contact forms, no newsletter signup, and no advertising. Fonts are served from our own domain. It does use cookies and scripts for analytics and security, described below.

• Information you email us. Our contact links open your own email app. If you email us (for example, at [email protected]), we receive whatever you choose to include—typically your name, email address, and message.
• Standard server logs. Our host, Cloudflare Pages, processes routine request data such as IP addresses to deliver and protect the site. This is handled by Cloudflare as our processor under its own terms.
• Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4, loaded through Cloudflare Zaraz, to understand how visitors use the site—pages viewed, time on page, referring sites, approximate location (derived from your IP address), and device and browser type. It assigns your browser a random identifier, stored in a cookie, so that repeat visits can be counted. Cloudflare sends this data to Google's servers on our behalf; your browser does not contact Google directly. We have turned off Google's advertising features for this data. We do not run Google Analytics for visitors from the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland, so it sets no cookies and sends nothing to Google for those visitors. Google processes this data under its own terms; see How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
• Cloudflare Web Analytics. We also use Cloudflare's analytics to see aggregate traffic and page load performance. This script sets no cookies of its own.
• Security checks. Cloudflare may run a script that checks for automated bot traffic and set a cookie recording that your browser passed the check.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

• cf_zaraz_client — Cloudflare Zaraz, the service that loads our analytics: a random identifier for your browser. Set for all visitors. Kept for up to about a year.
• cfz_google-analytics_v4, cfzs_google-analytics_v4 — Google Analytics, run through Zaraz: count sessions and engagement. Set only for visitors outside the EU, EEA, UK, and Switzerland. Kept for up to about a year; the cfzs_ cookie lasts only for your browser session.
• cf_clearance — Cloudflare security: records that your browser passed a bot check. Kept for up to about a year.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings or use a content blocker. The site works fully without these cookies.

How We Use It and Our Legal Basis

• To read and respond to messages you send us — legal basis: our legitimate interests in handling enquiries (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)), or steps toward a contract where relevant (Art. 6(1)(b)).
• To keep the site available and secure (server logs and security checks, via our host) — legal basis: our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the site (Art. 6(1)(f)).
• To understand which content is useful and how the site performs (Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics) — legal basis: our legitimate interests in improving the site (Art. 6(1)(f)).

We do not sell or rent your information, and we don't use it for automated decision-making.

Sharing

We share data only with the service providers that help us operate: our website host and analytics provider (Cloudflare), Google (for Google Analytics, as described above), and our email provider, or where required by law.

International Transfers

We are based in the United States, and Cloudflare, Google, and our email provider process data in the US. If you contact us or visit from the EU, UK, or elsewhere, your data may be transferred to the US. Where required, such transfers rely on appropriate safeguards (for example, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or Standard Contractual Clauses offered by those providers).

How Long We Keep It

We keep email correspondence only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any resulting relationship, then delete it. Google Analytics data is kept according to the retention setting on our Google Analytics account, and cookie lifetimes are listed above. Server logs and Cloudflare analytics data are retained for a limited period by Cloudflare for security, operational, and reporting purposes.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal data; to restrict or object to processing; and to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, email [email protected]. Analytics data is tied to a random browser identifier rather than your name, so you can also object to it at any time by deleting or blocking the cookies listed above.

If you are in the EU or UK and believe we have not handled your data properly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

Changes

If we add features that collect more data, such as a contact form, or change the analytics tools we use, we'll update this policy before or when we do.
