This page explains what information this website collects about you, how it is used, and what your rights are. I have written this in plain English — no legal double-talk.
What Information This Site Collects
1. Information you give us directly
If you fill out the contact form, I receive your name, email address, and whatever message you write. I use this only to reply to you. I do not add you to any mailing list without asking first.
2. Information collected automatically
When you visit this site, basic technical information is recorded. This includes things like your browser type, the pages you viewed, and how long you stayed. This is standard for almost every website on the internet. I use Google Analytics to see which pages are popular. Google Analytics does not know your name — it just tracks patterns.
3. Cookies
This site uses cookies. A cookie is a small text file saved on your device. It helps the site remember basic things, like whether you have visited before. You can turn cookies off in your browser settings, but some parts of the site may not work as well if you do.
Advertising and Affiliate Links
This site uses Google AdSense to show ads. Google may use cookies to show you ads based on your past browsing. You can opt out of personalized ads at google.com/settings/ads.
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, I earn a small fee. This does not cost you anything extra. The affiliate partner may also set cookies to track that sale.
Who Sees Your Information
I do not sell your personal information to anyone. Ever.
I use a few third-party tools that may see some data:
- Google Analytics — to track site traffic
- Google AdSense — to show ads
- My hosting company — they store the site's files and server logs
Each of these companies has their own privacy policy, which I cannot control.
Your Rights
You have the right to ask what data I hold about you, and to ask me to delete it. If you live in the EU or California, you have extra legal rights under GDPR and CCPA. To exercise any of these rights, use the contact page.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13. I do not knowingly collect any information from children.
Changes to This Policy
If I change this privacy policy, I will update the date at the top of this page. I recommend checking back occasionally if this matters to you.
