This is a personal blog. I'm not a company and I don't have a legal team. Here is how this site actually works.

## Your data

I don't collect it, I don't sell it, and I don't want it.

If you leave a comment or send me an email, I get your name and email address. I use it to reply to you. Nothing else.

If you subscribe to the newsletter, your email goes to my mailing list and I use it to send new posts. You can unsubscribe from any email, anytime.

## Analytics

I use two analytics tools:

- **Google Analytics** — tracks things like which pages get views, rough location, and device type. Uses cookies. You can block it with any browser privacy extension.
- **Cloudflare Web Analytics** — no cookies, no individual tracking. Just aggregate numbers.

I look at these to understand what content is useful. I don't share the data with anyone.

## Cookies

The site uses cookies for analytics and the comment system. Nothing unusual.

## Images

Most photos come from Pexels, Unsplash, or Pixabay and are used under their respective licenses. I don't own those. Some images are AI-generated on my own machine — I consider those my own work.

## Content

Everything I write here is my own opinion, for informational purposes. I'm not a doctor, lawyer, or financial advisor. Don't make important decisions based solely on something you read on a blog.

## Copyright

The writing and original content on this site is licensed under [CC BY-NC-SA 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/). You can share or adapt it for non-commercial purposes, as long as you credit me and use the same license. Don't republish it wholesale without asking first.

## Opinions

Everything here is my own opinion. It does not represent the views of any employer, client, or organization I am or have been associated with.

## Changes

I'll update this page if anything changes and note the date at the bottom.

Last updated: June 15, 2026. Humanized the language and removed the legalese.
