In creating this site, I do collect small bits of data, primarily to fix errors and know how people prefer to navigate through the site. This policy explains what data is collected, why, and how it’s protected.
How to opt out
Before moving onto the nitty-gritty, you can disable all tracking on this site by:
- Enabling Do Not Track (DNT) in your browser; or
- Using a browser extension that blocks ads and tracking.
What Data is Collected
Analytics Data
This site uses PostHog to understand how visitors use the site. The following anonymous usage data is collected:
- Which pages people are visited
- How people move between pages (for example, if they prefer to use the sidebar, graph, or tags for navigation)
- Browser type, device type, screen size, and general location (country/region level)
- If you sign up for the newsletter subscription, your email is put onto my personal mailing list.
What is NOT Collected
This site does not collect:
- Names, browsing history, or any personal identification
- Your specific location at the city/neighborhood/household level
- Any session recordings or screen captures
Additionally, this site doesn’t use any cookies to collect analytics, so you don’t have to worry about any analytics being collected unless you’re on the site itself — I wouldn’t be able to see if you go shopping somewhere, or browse social media, after you’ve visited this site.
This site doesn’t collect your email address. However, if you sign up for the email service, I do keep the email on my own mailing list. I send out emails through Buttondown, which both protects your data while it’s in the mailing list and allows you unsubscribe at any time. If you do unsubscribe, I don’t (slash can’t) retain your email address.
Third-Party Services
Analytics data is processed by PostHog, hosted at app.posthog.com. PostHog is GDPR-compliant and provides privacy-focused analytics. You can find their privacy policy at PostHog Privacy Policy
Additionally, this site is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub may collect technical information as part of normal server operation. You can find their privacy statement at GitHub Privacy Statement
As an optional part of this site, I have an email newsletter that you can subscribe to. If you do, your email is not handled by me. That is handled by Buttondown, an email subscription service. You can view their privacy statement at Buttondown: Privacy.
Data Retention
Analytics data through Posthog is retained for 1 year, PostHog’s default retention period. After that, it is automatically deleted. No backups are retained.
Your Rights
Data Access & Deletion
Since no personal information is collected and all analytics are anonymous, there is no way to identify your specific data for access or deletion requests.
If you believe your privacy has been violated, please contact me at the email listed on the contact page.
