Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
Look, I'm not a lawyer and this isn't going to read like one wrote it. But it's going to be honest, which is more than most privacy policies can claim.
Here's exactly what happens with your information on this site.
What I Collect and Why
If you subscribe — free or paid — I ask for your email address. Your name is optional. That's the full list. Your email is how I send you content when something new drops. Nothing else.
If you leave a comment, you have to be a signed-in member to do it — Ghost's comments are members-only. Your display name shows on your comment publicly. Your email address does not. It's never visible to other readers.
That's it. I'm not building profiles on you. I'm not tracking your browsing habits. I'm not running ads that follow you around the internet.
What I Do With It
Your email goes one place: my subscriber list, powered by Ghost. I use it to send you content you signed up for. I don't use it for anything else. I don't sell it. I don't rent it. I don't trade it. I don't hand it to anyone else for their own use.
If you unsubscribe, you're off the list. If you want me to delete your data entirely, email me and I'll handle it.
The Data I'll Never Sell — And What Happens If That Ever Changed
I will never sell your information to anyone.
But I'll go further than that. If someone ever came to me with an offer for subscriber data — which won't happen, but hypothetically — I wouldn't just say no quietly. I'd tell you about it first. I'd ask if you were okay with it. And if somehow that ever moved forward, you'd get paid too. Your data has value. If anyone's making money off it, that's your money as much as mine.
That's not a legal promise. It's just how I operate.
Third-Party Services — What They See and What I Can't Control
A few tools run on this site that have their own relationship with your data:
Ghost — the platform this site runs on. They host everything. Your email and membership info lives on their servers. They store all data in the EU and are GDPR compliant. Their privacy policy is at ghost.org/privacy.
Stripe — if you become a paid member, Stripe handles the payment. I never see your card number. Stripe stores it. Their privacy policy is at stripe.com/privacy.
Buy Me a Coffee — if you tip through the Buy Me a Coffee button, that transaction goes through their platform. Their privacy policy is at buymeacoffee.com/privacy.
PayPal — same deal for PayPal donations. Their privacy policy is at paypal.com/privacy.
For all of those — I'm telling you they exist, I'm telling you they have your data if you used them, and I'm telling you I can't control what they do with it. Read their policies. That's me being straight with you.
Cookies and Tracking
This site uses Ghost's native analytics, which are fully cookie-free. No advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking, no cookie banner needed. Ghost counts visitors without using any persistent browser storage. When you're logged in as a member, Ghost may note which posts you've viewed to understand what content is resonating — that data stays on the site and is never shared with anyone.
Your Rights
You can unsubscribe anytime — every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom.
You can ask me to delete your account and all associated data. Email me and I'll handle it.
You can ask what data I have on you. I'll tell you.
If you're in the EU, you have additional rights under GDPR. Same process — email me.

Changes
If something material changes, I'll update this page and note the date at the top. I won't bury it.
No fine print. No gotchas.
