Analytics, enquiry data and how to contact me about privacy.

Elvis Tapfumanei

This page explains what happens when you visit elvistapfumanei.com. The site is a personal portfolio with no accounts or advertising. It collects only the information needed for analytics, contact enquiries and requested research downloads.

Analytics (Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity)

This site uses Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use pages, which sections are viewed and how users navigate. These services may process technical data such as device and browser information, a pseudonymous identifier, approximate location derived from an IP address, page activity and interaction patterns.

Analytics scripts load only after you accept them through the cookie banner. If you reject analytics, these services are not loaded.

Google Analytics advertising signals and ad-personalisation signals are disabled in the site configuration. Analytics events do not include contact-form free text, email addresses or other information submitted through forms.

Analytics data is processed by Google and Microsoft under their respective service terms and privacy settings. For more detail, see Google's Analytics privacy documentation and Microsoft's documentation at clarity.microsoft.com.

Legal basis (GDPR)

Where EU data protection law applies, analytics are used on the basis of consent when you accept analytics in the cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time through Cookie settings in the site footer.

POPIA (South Africa)

Where the Protection of Personal Information Act applies, I process only what is necessary to operate and improve this website. I do not collect special personal information through this site. Responsible party: Elvis Tapfumanei.

Contact enquiries

If you use the contact form, the site collects your name, email address, organisation and role where supplied, enquiry type, business or regulatory context, workflow or problem, desired outcome and target timeframe. This information is used only to assess and respond to your enquiry.

Form submissions are stored in Cloudflare D1 and delivered through Resend, which processes the submission as an email service provider. When Cloudflare Turnstile is enabled, Cloudflare also processes technical signals needed to distinguish legitimate visitors from automated abuse.

Do not include passwords, financial information, health information, or other sensitive personal information in the message field. If you email me directly, I use your message and address only to respond.

Research downloads

If you request a downloadable research resource, the site collects your name, email, organisation and role where supplied. This information is used to provide the resource, record the request and respond if there is a substantive question about that resource.

Download requests are stored in Cloudflare D1 and delivered through Resend as an email service provider. When Cloudflare Turnstile is enabled, Cloudflare processes the technical signals needed to distinguish legitimate visitors from automated abuse.

External links

Links to Colloxa, Substack, LinkedIn, and other sites are governed by their own privacy policies.

Retention and security

Analytics data is retained according to the configured Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity settings. Contact enquiries and research download requests are normally deleted after 12 months. A record may be retained for longer when it forms part of an active business relationship or must be kept to meet a legal obligation.

The submission database does not store Turnstile tokens or visitor IP addresses. This site is served over HTTPS. No system is perfectly secure; I take reasonable steps to keep the site and associated accounts protected.

Your rights and contact

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information held about you. For any privacy question, contact elvis@elvistapfumanei.com.
