No Cookies. No Tracking. Nothing Loaded From Anywhere Else.

1. Cookies

This site does not set cookies. Not one, not even a "functional" one. No page returns a Set-Cookie header, and no page contains code that writes to document.cookie, localStorage, sessionStorage or IndexedDB. Nothing is remembered about you between pages or between visits.

That is the whole reason you have not been asked to accept anything. A cookie banner exists to obtain permission before storing something on your device — where nothing is stored, there is nothing to consent to, and a banner would be theater.

2. Analytics and tracking

There is no Google Analytics, no Google Tag Manager, no advertising or retargeting pixel, no heat-mapping or session-recording tool, no social media tracker, and no third-party chat or support product. Visitor behavior is not measured, profiled, scored, or sold.

3. Third-party requests

Every file this site loads is served from this domain — the pages, one stylesheet, the self-hosted font files, and two small scripts that power the chat tool and the contact form. No request made by any page on this site goes to any other company.

The contact form is the one place a page sends anything anywhere at all. It sends it to shearkeygroup.com/api/hendrikexec-contact, a domain operated by the same owner, which passes the message straight to email. There is no form-handling company, no database, no CRM and no marketing platform in that path — the message becomes an email and nothing else.

The typefaces are self-hosted in /assets/fonts/ for exactly this reason. Most sites load fonts from Google's servers, which transmits each visitor's IP address to Google on every page view — a practice that has been found to breach data protection law in the European Union. There is no reason for a website to do that, so this one does not.

Links to other websites appear throughout this site. Those are plain links: nothing is requested from the destination until you choose to click one, at which point the destination's own privacy policy applies.

4. The chat tool

The chat button in the corner is a scripted page element, not a hosted chat service. It runs entirely inside your browser, sends nothing anywhere, uses no language model, and does not remember anything between visits. It does not know your name, your location or your company unless you type them in.

When you fill in the project brief it offers to hand that text straight to the contact form, or to copy it to your clipboard. Either way, nothing is sent until you press Send — which is also why nothing reaches this site without your knowledge.

5. Server logs

The hosting provider keeps standard web server logs for security, abuse prevention and reliability. Those logs contain what any web server records: IP address, time, the page requested, and the browser's user-agent string. They are not used to identify visitors, build profiles, or for advertising, and they are not combined with anything else.

6. If you use the contact form, or email

The contact form asks for your name, company, email address, an optional phone number, a topic and your message. Those fields exist so the inquiry can be answered — nothing is asked for that is not used. Nothing is stored on your device at any point: no cookie, no local storage, no session storage, no draft saved between visits.

When you press Send the message is delivered by email to Hendrik, with your address set as the reply address so a reply goes straight back to you. It is held as ordinary business correspondence. Nothing is added to a mailing list, and nothing is sold, rented or shared. There is no newsletter, and no marketing email is sent to anyone who has not asked for one.

7. If you become a client

Client information is treated as confidential. Client documents, drawings, schedules, pricing and correspondence are not published, quoted or reproduced anywhere on this site without written permission. If you are a client or former client and you believe something here identifies you, write in and it will be reviewed and removed promptly. See the disclaimer for the fuller statement.

8. Your rights

If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Union (UK GDPR / GDPR) or in California (CCPA/CPRA), you have rights of access, correction, deletion and portability over personal data held about you, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them.

In practice the only personal data held is whatever you chose to send through the contact form, so exercising those rights is usually a short conversation. Use the contact form and say what you want done with it — it will be handled.

9. If this ever changes

If analytics, a hosted chat product, an embedded calendar or any other third-party service is ever added to this site, this page will be updated and, where the law requires it, permission will be requested before anything is stored on your device. That is a commitment rather than a formality.

10. Contact

Questions about anything on this page: use the contact form.
