What information do we collect?
We collect information in two ways: information you voluntarily provide to us, and information collected automatically when you access the Site.
Personal information you disclose to us
In short: We collect personal information that you provide to us.
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you contact us or otherwise communicate with us. This may include:
- email address;
- name or handle, if supplied;
- the contents of any message you send us.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (such as health data, government identifiers, or biometric data).
Information collected automatically
In short: Some information — such as your IP address and browser characteristics — is collected automatically when you visit the Site.
This information generally does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, country, and information about how and when you use the Site. It is used to maintain the security and operation of the Site and for internal analytics.
- Log and usage data — request paths, status codes, timestamps, and approximate geography, recorded by our hosting provider.
- Device data — browser type, hardware model, and similar information reported by your browser.
- Product analytics — aggregate page views and click events recorded via PostHog to understand which articles are useful.
How we use information
We process information to provide, operate, and improve the Site, to communicate with you when you contact us, to maintain security and prevent abuse, and to comply with legal obligations.
Your rights
Depending on where you are located, applicable privacy law may give you rights of access, correction, deletion, and objection to processing of your personal information. The easiest way to exercise these rights is to contact us. We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
