Privacy

Effective November 1, 2026.

What this site collects

• The contact form. Your name, email address and message. Netlify, the company that hosts this site, stores it and sends it to me so I can read it and reply.
• Google Analytics. This site uses Google Analytics to see which pages get read. It sets cookies and collects things like the pages you visit, how you got here, your device and browser, and an approximate location. I use it to decide what to write next, not to show you ads.
• What any website receives. Netlify records standard request data, like IP address and browser type, to keep the site running and secure. The site's fonts load from Google Fonts, which also sees that request.

Other sites I link to

The newsletter lives on Substack. If you subscribe, Substack's privacy policy applies, not this one. The same goes for LinkedIn, X and YouTube when you follow a link there.

What I don't do

• I don't sell your information or share it for advertising.
• I don't add you to the newsletter because you sent a message. Subscribing is your choice, on Substack.
• I don't use what you send me to train AI models.

How long I keep it

Messages are kept for up to 24 months after we last talked, then deleted. Ask me to delete yours sooner and I will.

Your choices

• Ask to see, correct or delete what I have from you.
• Opt out of Google Analytics in any browser with Google's opt-out add-on, or block cookies in your browser settings. The site works the same either way.
• Read how Google uses this data in Google's own explanation.

I give these choices to everyone, wherever you live, and I'll answer within 30 days.

Children

This site is written for adults. I don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.

Changes

If this page changes in a way that matters, I'll update the date at the top.

Ask me

Use the contact form and say it's a privacy request. I read every message.

More on how this site works, including how I use AI, is on the transparency page.
