Overview

This site is a simple, content-focused website. We do not sell personal information and we don’t run third-party advertising trackers. Any limited data we handle is used to operate the site, improve reliability, and respond to messages you send us.

Data we collect

• Contact data you choose to send — for example, your name and email address if you email us.
• Technical data — your IP address, browser type, the page requested, and timestamps may be recorded by the web server for security and reliability (see Server logs).
• Cookies — this site aims to use only essential, first-party cookies if needed for basic functionality (see Cookies).

Cookies

We try to avoid cookies altogether. If a feature requires a cookie (for example, remembering a preference), it will be a first-party, essential cookie only.

• essential Keeps a required preference (e.g., theme). Expires in up to 12 months.

We do not set marketing or cross-site tracking cookies.

Analytics

By default, we do not run third-party analytics. If lightweight, privacy-respecting analytics are added in the future, they will be configured without cross-site tracking, without advertising identifiers, and without selling or sharing personal information. This notice will be updated to reflect any changes.

Server logs

The hosting provider may automatically log requests (IP address, user agent, referrer, and pages visited) to maintain security, fight abuse, and diagnose issues. Log entries are kept for a limited period and are not used to profile visitors.

How we use data

• Operate, secure, and maintain the website.
• Respond to messages you send.
• Understand aggregate site performance (e.g., error rates or page load times).

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We share data only when necessary to operate the site (e.g., with our hosting provider) or when required by law.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information.

• US state laws (e.g., California, Virginia, Colorado): access, deletion, correction, and the right to opt out of sale or targeted advertising. We do not sell data or use targeted advertising.

Security

We use HTTPS and standard protections provided by the hosting platform. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information.

Data retention

We keep server logs for a limited period to operate the site. If you email us, we may retain messages as long as needed to respond and keep records.
