What This Site Collects

If you only read the site, nothing about you is stored and no cookie is set. There are no accounts and nothing to sign in to.

The newsletter is the one place the site asks for anything: your name, your email address and what you do. Those three things are the whole record.

Joining stores your first and last name, your email address and what you do. I ask for the last of those because I want to know who is reading; it is used for nothing else. You are on the list as soon as you submit the form, and no confirmation email is sent.

The list is held by Resend, the service that sends each issue, which acts as a processor on my behalf. It is not sold, not shared, not used for advertising, and not given to anyone else. Issues carry no tracking pixel, and their links are not rewritten to count clicks.

Every issue carries an unsubscribe link. An address that has unsubscribed stays that way — the form will not add it back, so nobody else can sign you up again. If someone typed your address without asking you, the same link takes it off.

To see what is held about you, to correct it, or to have it erased entirely, email me. That is also how to come back after unsubscribing.

The form carries Cloudflare Turnstile, which is the box confirming you are not a script. It looks at how the browser behaves on that one page in order to answer one question, and your IP address is sent to Cloudflare as part of asking it. It is not a tracker: it does not use your data for advertising and does not follow you to other sites.

Visits are counted using Cloudflare Web Analytics. It sets no cookies, writes nothing to your device, and does not fingerprint your browser or follow you between sites — which is why you are not being asked to consent to anything.

It records the page you viewed, the referring site, and coarse technical details such as country, browser and device type. Your IP address is processed by Cloudflare in passing to derive the country; it is not stored by this site and is never shown to me.

No cookies, no advertising, no tracking pixels, no analytics beyond the count above, no session recording, and no profiling: nothing here makes an automated decision about you.

Episode artwork and guest photographs are served from this domain rather than hot-linked, so viewing a page does not tell another platform you were here. Links to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Substack, Medium and GitHub lead to services with their own policies.

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare processes your IP address in transit in order to serve the page and protect against attacks, and keeps its own operational logs under its own policy.

Until October 2026 this site had accounts. They are gone: the sign-in, the profile page and the database behind them were removed in one change, and the account records were deleted.

If the newsletter form ever grows a field, or what you gave it is ever used for something not described above, this page will say so before that starts — not after.
