Privacy
Our zero-logging principles, minimal analytics, data handling practices, and reader privacy policies.
Commitment to Privacy
For Paul, privacy is a fundamental principle, not an afterthought. He does not sell data to third parties, mine email contents, or compile invasive cross-site personal profiles.
Data Collection & Analytics
Analytics & Cookies
This website uses Google Analytics to help understand how visitors interact with the site (e.g., pages visited, time spent, and general geographic location derived from IP addresses).
- Cookies: Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (such as _ga) to distinguish unique visitors and measure site traffic performance. These cookies do not store directly identifying personal information.
- Data Processing & Transfers: Analytics data is processed by Google LLC on servers that may be located in the United States. Google acts as a data processor under our privacy guidelines.
- Opting Out: You can prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics across all websites by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
Server Logs
Basic standard web server access logs (such as requesting IP address, user-agent string, and requested path) may be processed temporarily by the hosting provider for diagnostic, security, and rate-limiting purposes.
External Links & Affiliate Referrals
Outbound links to external services or providers are governed by their respective privacy policies. Visitors are encouraged to review the privacy practices of any third-party service they visit.
Some links on this site (such as referral links to recommended tools like Fastmail) are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase or sign up, the destination provider or affiliate network may place cookies or track referral parameters to attribute the referral to Paul. This tracking is managed by the third-party provider under their own privacy policy and does not cost you anything extra.
