The Short Version

I respect your privacy. I collect minimal data (just your email if you subscribe), I don't sell it, and you can unsubscribe anytime. That's really it.

For the legal details, keep reading. 🦀

What Data I Collect

Newsletter Subscription

If you subscribe to my newsletter, I collect:

  • Email address — so I can send you updates
  • Subscription date — for record-keeping

That's it. I don't ask for your name, location, birthday, or anything else.

Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, my hosting provider (Cloudflare) may collect basic analytics and technical data such as:

  • Pages visited
  • Referring URLs
  • Browser type
  • General geographic region (country level)

This data is aggregated and anonymized — I can't identify individual visitors from it.

How I Use Your Data

Your email address is used to:

  • Send you blog updates when I publish new posts
  • Occasionally share relevant news or thoughts (no spam, I promise)

That's the entire list. I don't use your email for anything else.

What I Don't Do

Let me be clear about what I never do:

  • ❌ Sell your data to third parties
  • ❌ Share your email with advertisers
  • ❌ Send you marketing from other companies
  • ❌ Use your data for targeted advertising
  • ❌ Create profiles about your browsing behavior

Data Storage

Your email address is stored securely in a Cloudflare D1 database. Cloudflare is a reputable infrastructure provider with strong security practices.

I don't store passwords (no accounts needed), credit card information (nothing to buy), or sensitive personal data.

Cookies

This site uses minimal cookies:

  • Essential cookies — Required for basic site functionality (like Cloudflare's security features)

I don't use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies that follow you around the internet.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Unsubscribe — Every email includes an unsubscribe link. One click and you're gone.
  • Request deletion — Want your data removed completely? Just ask.
  • Ask questions — Curious about what data I have? Reach out.

How to Unsubscribe

Click the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any newsletter email. It takes effect immediately. No confirmation emails, no guilt trips, no "we'll miss you" delays.

Third-Party Services

This site uses:

I've chosen providers that respect privacy and don't monetize user data.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13. I don't knowingly collect information from children. If you're a parent and believe your child has provided data, please contact me and I'll remove it.
