Privacy Policy

I built this site to share what I write, not to harvest data about you. There are no ads, no tracking cookies, and nothing about you is ever sold or handed to data brokers. This page explains the little that does get collected, and how to reach me if you have questions.

Analytics

I use Umami to understand, in aggregate, which articles people find useful. Umami is privacy-first and cookieless: it sets no cookies, stores no IP addresses, and can't follow you around the web. It records anonymous, aggregate signals: page views, the referring site, rough country, browser, and device type. None of it identifies you personally. That's also why you won't see a cookie-consent banner here: there are no tracking cookies to consent to.

The newsletter

If you subscribe to my newsletter, that runs on Substack, which stores your email address so it can deliver the emails you asked for. You can unsubscribe at any time from the link in any issue, and your details are handled under Substack's privacy policy. I never sell or share that list.

Hosting

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes standard request data (such as IP addresses) to serve pages and protect against abuse. I don't have access to a per-visitor log of who read what.

Links and embeds

Articles link out to places like Medium, GitHub, and Unsplash. Once you follow a link, you're on their turf and their privacy policies apply, and I have no control over what they collect.

Your rights

If you're in the EU/UK, the GDPR gives you the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data a service holds about you, and to object to its processing. The only personal data tied to me directly is your newsletter subscription — manage or delete it yourself in Substack, or email me and I'll sort it out. For analytics there's nothing to delete, because nothing personal is stored in the first place.

Changes

If this policy changes, I'll update the date at the top. Material changes will be obvious. I'm not going to bury anything in fine print.
