In today’s digital world, we’re expected to hand over our personal data without a second thought. I’m not a fan of that approach. Your privacy matters to me, and I want to be upfront about how I handle (or rather, don’t handle) your information on my website.
Let’s start with what I don’t do, because it’s a lot (yes, I know I just said I don’t do a lot. My Mum would agree):
– I don’t use cookies on this website. (However, see the note on Substack below)
– I don’t track your browsing behaviour. (I turn off all analytics)
– I don’t collect any personal data beyond what you voluntarily provide (more on that below).
– I don’t share, sell, or trade any information about you with third parties.
That’s it. No marketing campaigns, no “special offers.”
If you subscribe to my stories on Substack, you’re doing so through their platform—not this website. That means Substack, not me, controls how your data is handled there. I can see your email address, but I don’t collect or store it separately. For details on how Substack handles data, check their Privacy Policy.
If I ever need to change this policy, I’ll make it clear on this page and, if it’s a significant change, I’ll let you know via email.
If you have any questions about this policy or how I handle your data, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at the contact page.
Remember, your privacy is important. I’m doing my best to respect it, and I encourage you to be vigilant about your data across all your online interactions.
Happy reading!
Dave
