For Mike’s site, I would use this as-is for now. I intentionally did not put a personal email address, mailing address, or phone number in it.
Also, because this is a Squarespace site and you’re collecting contact-form submissions, I would turn on the cookie banner before launch. Squarespace has a built-in cookie consent feature under its Cookies & Visitor Data settings.
