Privacy Policy

Effective July 16, 2026  ·  Last updated September 11, 2026

This is the personal website of Blake McLain (blakemclain.com). This policy describes what information the site collects and how it is used.

01

What this site collects

  • Contact form. If you submit the contact form, the site sends your name, email address, inquiry type, and message to Blake’s team by email so we can respond. This information is not sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing.
  • Newsletter. If you provide an email address for updates, it is used only to send occasional news about videos and music, and never sold.
  • Server logs. Like most websites, the hosting provider automatically records standard technical logs (such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested) for security and site operation.
  • Request board. If you add a request to the request board, the board stores the song or album you suggested, the year and cover art it looks up, and the name you choose to be credited with (optional). It does not ask for your email address. To keep voting to one vote per browser, the board stores a random identifier in your browser’s local storage; that identifier is not linked to your name or email.
02

Cookies

This site uses technical cookies set by its caching system to serve pages quickly. It does not run advertising cookies, and it does not currently run analytics tracking.

03

Third-party services

  • Fonts are served by Google Fonts. When the page loads, your browser requests font files from Google’s servers, which discloses your IP address to Google.
  • This site links out to platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, Patreon, Instagram, X, and Facebook. Those platforms have their own privacy policies and this policy does not cover them.
04

Hosting and embedded content

The site is hosted by Hostinger, which records the standard server logs described above and caches pages with LiteSpeed Cache so they load quickly. All connections to the site are encrypted with HTTPS.

Video thumbnails on the Home and Videos pages are loaded from YouTube’s image servers (i.ytimg.com), which discloses your IP address to YouTube/Google when a page loads. Watching a video takes you to YouTube itself. Request board data is stored with Supabase, the database provider behind the board.

05

Analytics and advertising

This site does not currently run Google Analytics or any other analytics or advertising tracker. If that changes, this policy will be updated before any tracking is switched on.

06

How long information is kept

Contact form and newsletter emails are kept in Blake’s team’s mailbox for as long as needed to respond to you and to keep a record of the exchange. Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Request board entries stay on the board until they are reviewed, removed, or the board is retired.

07

Your choices

To ask what information we hold about you, or to request that information you submitted through the site be corrected or deleted, email Represent.bm@gmail.com or use the contact form.

08

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

09

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
