Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3/27/2026

This website uses analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site and to improve performance, content, and user experience. This policy explains what data is collected, how it is used, and the choices available to you.

 

1. Analytics Tools We Use

We use Google Analytics, Google Tags, Bandzoogle Analytics, and Microsoft Clarity to analyze site usage. These tools help us understand how visitors interact with our pages, including navigation patterns, referrer information, and general engagement.

 

2. Information We Collect

These tools may collect:

Pages viewed and actions taken

Referrer URLs

Device, browser, and operating system information

Clicks, scroll depth, and interaction patterns

Session recordings and heatmaps (Microsoft Clarity only)

IP address (with masking/anonymization where supported)

We do not use these tools to identify individuals, and we do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data. Form data is intentionally masked on Microsoft Clarity and not saved.

If you sign up for our mailing list, we will collect your name and email address for newsletter purposes only. This is not used to send advertisments outside of promotional material in the newsletter.

Privacy policies for Stripe and PayPal are handed by both entities and are available on their websites.

 

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity use first‑party cookies and similar technologies to recognize returning visitors and understand how the site is used.

You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.

 

4. Legal Basis for Processing (EU/EEA/UK Visitors)

For visitors located in the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on your consent before loading analytics tools. If you decline tracking, analytics scripts will not run.

 

5. How We Use the Data

We use analytics data to:

Improve site performance and usability

Understand which content is most helpful

Diagnose technical issues

Optimize layout, navigation, and user experience

We do not sell or share analytics data for advertising purposes.

In short, we use this data to figure out if something is broken on the site, what things people are interested in on our site, and how we should best tailor the site in the future for your needs.

At no time do we sell your data. I don't believe in doing that. It's not going to happen here. 

 

6. Data Transfers

Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity may process data on servers located outside your country, including in the United States. These transfers are handled according to each provider’s data protection safeguards.

 

7. Data Retention

Analytics data is retained according to the settings provided by Google and Microsoft. Data is kept only as long as necessary for the purposes described above.

 

8. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

Withdraw consent at any time

Request access to your personal data

Request deletion of data collected through analytics

Disable cookies in your browser

Opt out of analytics using available browser tools

EU/EEA/UK visitors can manage consent through the cookie banner displayed on this site.
