Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 6, 2026.

The short version

This is a personal blog. It does not run advertising, tracking pixels, analytics cookies of its own, or any kind of user account. There is nothing here to log into, and no profile to build about you.

Hosting and technical logs

The site is served through Cloudflare, Inc. As part of serving any website, Cloudflare processes standard request data (IP address, timestamps, requested URL, user agent) for security, performance, and abuse prevention, and may set short-lived technical cookies for protection against bots and attacks. Cloudflare also provides an anonymous aggregate analytics view to the site operator; it does not fingerprint individual visitors. Cloudflare's own privacy policy applies to that processing.

Email

If you send email to the address listed on the About page, the operator receives and keeps your message and your email address, obviously, in order to read and reply to it. It is not added to any marketing list, because no marketing list exists.

Purchases

If and when paid products are offered on this site, payments are processed by Paddle.com as Merchant of Record. Paddle handles the payment, invoicing, and applicable taxes; payment card data never reaches this site or its operator. The operator receives only the transaction record necessary to deliver the product and provide support (typically your email address and what you bought). Paddle's privacy policy applies to its processing.

Sharing

Nothing collected here is sold, rented, or shared with advertisers. The only processors involved are the ones named above: Cloudflare (hosting and security) and, for future purchases, Paddle (payments).

Changes

If this policy changes, the date above changes with it. The site is version controlled; honesty is the whole brand.
