Privacy policy
This site collects as little as possible. Here is what it collects, why, and what you can do about it.

What we collect
When you send a message through a form on this site, we receive the details you type: your name, your email address, your phone number if you add it, and your message.
Our hosting provider records standard server logs, such as IP addresses and the pages you request. These keep the site running and help stop abuse.
Cloudflare Web Analytics counts visits for us. It sets no cookies and does not track you across other sites.
We also use Ahrefs Web Analytics to count visits. It sets no cookies and stores no IP addresses.
The fonts on this site load from Google Fonts. Your browser contacts Google to fetch them, which shares your IP address with Google.
Why we collect it
We use your details to reply to you and to give you what you asked for. We use visit counts to see what is useful and to fix what is not. We do not sell personal information. We do not use it for targeted advertising.
Who else handles it
A few companies handle information on our behalf. Cloudflare hosts this site and processes form messages. Google provides fonts. Ahrefs provides visit counts. Our email provider stores the messages we receive. These companies are based in the United States, so your information may be stored or processed there and be subject to United States law.
How long we keep it
We keep messages for up to two years after our last contact with you. If you become a customer, we keep business records for seven years, because tax law requires it. Server logs are kept for a short time and then deleted.
How we protect it
We limit who can see your information. We use accounts protected by strong passwords and two-step sign-in. The site runs over a secure connection (HTTPS).
Your choices
You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you. You can ask us to correct it or delete it. You can withdraw your consent at any time. We answer within 30 days.
If you live in the United States
We do not sell or share personal information for targeted advertising. We run no ad trackers, so there is nothing to opt out of. If that changes, we will add a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link to every page.
Depending on your state, you may have the right to know what we collect, to get a copy, to correct it, and to have it deleted. To use these rights, email us. We answer within 45 days. We will not treat you differently for asking.
