Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 30, 2025

Welcome—and thanks for stopping by! Your trust means everything to me. Here’s what happens behind the scenes:

1. Data We Collect

• Squarespace metrics

  Squarespace collects info when you visit this site, including:

  • Your browser, network, and device details

  • Which pages you came from and where you go next

  • Your IP address

• Google Analytics (optional)

  If enabled, Google Analytics may collect similar usage info to help me understand how to make this site better—always in aggregate and de-identified form.

• Embedded Content

  • YouTube videos and Patreon widgets are hosted by their platforms, which may place cookies and collect data per their own policies.

2. How We Use Your Data

• To keep the site running smoothly and spot any issues

• To understand general usage trends (e.g. which pages folks like)

• To improve site performance, features, and content over time

3. Legal Bases & Your Rights

• GDPR (EU)

  If you’re in the European Union, you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data.

• CCPA (California)

  If you’re a California resident, you can ask what personal data we hold, request deletion, or opt out of “sale” of personal data (we don’t sell data).

4. Data Retention

We keep de-identified analytics data for up to 25 months. Any other personal data (e.g. form submissions) is retained only as long as needed to provide the service or comply with legal obligations.

5. Third-Party Services

• Squarespace (hosting & analytics)

• Google Analytics (optional website analytics)

• YouTube (video embeds)

• Patreon (widget embeds)

6. Your Choices & Controls
