Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
Welcome to my privacy policy—the page everyone definitely reads before clicking "Accept."
Fortunately, this one is relatively painless.
The Short Version
I'm not particularly interested in your data.
This website exists to show you who I am, what I build, and what I work on. It is not an elaborate scheme to determine which brand of toothpaste you're thinking about buying.
I don't sell your personal information. I don't maintain a shadowy data brokerage operation. I don't have a secret underground analytics bunker.
Information You Give Me
If you contact me through this website, you may voluntarily provide things such as:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Whatever you decide to write in the message box
I use this information for the shocking purpose of responding to you.
I will not immediately add you to seventeen mailing lists, sell your email address to someone selling cryptocurrency courses, or have a salesperson named Chad call you during dinner.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, some basic technical information may be collected automatically, including things like:
- Browser and device information
- Approximate location
- Pages visited
- Referring websites
- General usage and performance information
This information may be used to understand whether the site works properly and whether anyone besides me actually visits it.
Cookies
This site may use cookies or similar technologies where necessary for functionality, authentication, analytics, or other site features.
Sadly, these are not chocolate chip.
You can generally control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may cause parts of the site to behave strangely, at which point we can both blame the browser.
Third-Party Services
The site may rely on third-party services for things such as hosting, analytics, authentication, forms, scheduling, or other functionality.
Those services may process limited information according to their own privacy policies.
I choose reputable providers, but I do not personally control every server on the Internet. My infrastructure budget has limits.
How I Use Your Information
Information collected through this site may be used to:
- Operate and maintain the website
- Respond to messages
- Diagnose technical problems
- Improve the site's functionality and usability
- Prevent abuse or security problems
In other words: normal website things.
Selling Your Information
I do not sell your personal information.
Apparently this needs its own section on the modern Internet, which tells you something about the modern Internet.
Data Security
Reasonable technical measures are used to protect information handled by this website.
No Internet-connected system, however, can guarantee absolute security. Anyone promising otherwise is either lying or has somehow invented an Internet I haven't heard about.
Data Retention
I keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or where retention is otherwise required.
I have no desire to preserve your 2026 contact-form submission for archaeologists to discover in the year 2473.
Your Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including requesting access, correction, or deletion.
If you have contacted me and would like your information deleted, contact me and I'll handle the request where applicable.
No ceremonial paperwork or carrier pigeon required.
Changes to This Policy
I may occasionally update this policy as the website changes.
If anything significant changes, I'll update this page and the date above.
I will resist the temptation to send everyone a 6,000-word email announcing that paragraph 7.3(b) has been modified.

Complaints about the cookie joke will be carefully documented and then ignored.
