The TL;DR 📝

🎯 Here's the deal:

I use basic analytics to see which pages people visit and what they click on. That's it. No creepy tracking, no selling your data, no spam. Just simple stats to help me understand what's useful and what's not.

(But if you want the details, keep reading. It's actually kinda interesting! 🤓)

✅ What I Actually Track

I use PostHog (an open-source analytics tool) to collect anonymous usage data. Here's exactly what gets tracked:

👀
Page views: Which pages you visit on this site
👆
Clicks: What you click on (buttons, links, etc.)
🗺️
Navigation patterns: How you move around the site
📱
Basic device info: Browser type, screen size (to make sure things look good on your device)

🎭 All of this is completely anonymous. I don't know who you are, where you live, or what you had for breakfast. But if you want to tell me, click here!

❌ What I DON'T Track

This is important. Here's what I specifically turned off:

🚫
Your IP address: Nope, blocked it
🙈
Personal information: I don't collect names, emails, or anything that identifies you
⌨️
Form inputs: If you type something in a form, I don't see it
📹
Session recordings: I'm not watching your screen
🔐
Keyboard strokes: What you type stays between you and your keyboard
🍪
Third-party cookies: No creepy ad tracking nonsense

🤔 Why Bother Tracking Anything?

Great question! I track basic analytics because I genuinely want to know:

📚Which content people find useful

(so I can write more of it)

🔧What's broken or confusing

(so I can fix it)

🧭How people navigate the site

(so I can make it easier to use)

That's it. I'm not trying to build a profile on you or sell you anything. This is my personal website, not a data harvesting operation. 🚫💼

📦 What Happens to the Data?

The data lives in PostHog's servers and:

🔒

It stays there.

I don't export it, sell it, or share it with anyone

👤

It's anonymous.

Even if I wanted to know who you are, I couldn't

📊

It's aggregate.

I look at overall patterns, not individual users

⏰

It expires.

Old data gets deleted automatically

🎯 Your Rights (The Important Part!)

Since all tracking is anonymous, there's not much to "delete" about you specifically, but:

⚡

You can opt out right here:

Use the toggle below to disable analytics entirely

🛡️

You can block analytics:

Use an ad blocker or browser privacy features. I won't be offended

🌐

Browser settings:

Most browsers have a "Do Not Track" setting that PostHog respects

💬

You can ask questions:

Seriously, if you're curious about something, just ask

🔗 Third-Party Services

Besides PostHog for analytics, this site might use other services:

▲ Vercel: Hosts the website (they might have basic server logs)

🌍 External links: If you click a link to another site, you're subject to their privacy policy, not mine

📝 Changes to This Policy

If I ever change how I handle privacy (spoiler: I probably won't make it worse), I'll update this page and change the "Last updated" date at the top. 🔄

I won't email you about changes because... well, I don't have your email. See? Privacy! 📧🚫

⚖️ The Legal Stuff

I'm not a lawyer, but I believe in being transparent. If you're in the EU (GDPR), California (CCPA), or anywhere else with privacy laws: this site collects minimal, anonymous data that doesn't identify you personally. 🌍

If you have concerns about compliance or privacy, let's talk about it. 💬

💬 Questions? Concerns? Just Curious?

I'm a real person, and you can reach me. Check the homepage for contact info. 👋

Seriously, if something here concerns you or you just want to chat about privacy, I'm happy to talk. I built this site, I control the analytics, and I actually care about doing the right thing. ✨

🎯 Bottom Line

I respect your privacy. I track the bare minimum to make this site better, and I don't do anything shady with your data. If that ever changes, I'll be upfront about it. That's the promise. 🤝
