Privacy Policy
This website, mxweizhang.com, is the personal site of visual artist and filmmaker Wei Zhang. It presents a curated portfolio and contact information for artistic or professional communication. This Privacy Policy explains how visitor data is collected, used, and protected.
1. Introduction
Welcome, and thank you for visiting mxweizhang.com. This site is a personal space built and maintained by Zhang Wei to share selected works, past projects, and creative ideas. There’s also a contact form in case someone wants to get in touch. Like most websites, some basic information is processed behind the scenes to make sure everything runs smoothly and to allow for occasional messages to be received and replied to. This page explains what kinds of data may be involved, how they’re handled, and what rights visitors have regarding their information. No complicated terms, no unnecessary tracking—just a clear explanation, out of respect for your privacy.
2. What This Site Collects
If you use the contact form, the information you enter—such as your name, email address, and message—is sent directly to the site owner and is used only to reply to you. Nothing else is done with it. Besides that, the website may automatically log general technical data, such as your IP address, browser type, or what pages were visited. This helps keep the site secure and makes it possible to fix issues if anything goes wrong. No passwords, payment details, or sensitive personal data are ever requested or stored here
3. How That Information Is Used
Any message you send through the contact form is read and responded to personally, if a reply is needed. The information won’t be added to a list, forwarded elsewhere, or used for any advertising purposes. Technical information collected automatically is only used to maintain and protect the site—for example, to block spam or detect unusual traffic. This site doesn’t do tracking, profiling, or behavioural analysis. No ads, no cookies that follow you around. Just the basics needed to keep things working.
4. Third‑Party Services
At the moment, this site does not use tools like Google Analytics or any external advertising services. In the future, it’s possible that simple analytics tools might be added to understand how people are finding the site and what pages are most viewed. If that happens, only minimal data would be used, and no one will be tracked personally. Some fonts or videos may be loaded from third-party platforms (like Google Fonts or YouTube), and those services might collect limited data as part of how the internet works. If any major third-party features are added, this page will be updated.
5. How Long Data Is Kept
Messages sent through the contact form are kept only as long as they’re needed—for example, to finish a conversation or respond to a request. They’re not archived for marketing or historical reasons. In general, technical logs are automatically deleted after a short period, usually around thirty days, unless something like a security issue requires a longer review.
6. Keeping Your Data Safe
The site uses HTTPS encryption to keep information secure while it’s being sent. The contact form is protected to help prevent spam and misuse. No one else has access to the messages except the site owner, and there are safeguards in place on the hosting side to prevent unauthorised access. While no system is completely risk-free, reasonable care is taken to keep your data private.
7. Sharing of Data
Nothing you share through this site will be sold, rented, or passed on for advertising. The only time information might be shared is if it’s legally required, or if a technical service (like a hosting provider) needs access to resolve an issue. Even then, only the minimum necessary data would be involved, and only for as long as needed.
8. If You're in the EU or UK
If you’re visiting from the European Union or the United Kingdom, privacy laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) give you certain rights over your personal data. That includes the right to see what’s stored, to ask for corrections or deletions, and to object to how it’s used in certain cases. This site supports those rights. If you’d like to make a request, just send an email to: zhangwei99153861@gmail.com. Every reasonable effort will be made to respond in a timely and respectful way.
9. About Children
This site isn’t aimed at children, and it doesn’t knowingly collect any information from people under the age of thirteen. If you’re a parent or guardian and believe a child has submitted personal information here by mistake, please get in touch, and the data will be removed.
10. Updates
This page may be updated once in a while—especially if something about the site changes, or if new features are added. The latest version will always be published here, with the “last updated” date shown at the top. If anything significant changes about how your data is handled, a notice will be posted.
