Written as plain questions, because that is how people actually read a privacy policy. Last revised October 2026.
Do you collect anything about me without asking?
Only the technical exhaust every web server produces: your IP address, the browser you used, which page you opened, and when. This is kept for security and to see which guides get read. It is not tied to a name or profile.
What happens when I send a message?
Whatever you type — your name, an email address, and the message itself — is stored so the message can be answered. Nothing else. We never ask for passwords, SSH keys, API tokens, card numbers, or control panel logins, and you should be suspicious of anyone claiming to be us who does.
Who can read what I send?
Only the person who answers the inbox. Messages are not sold, rented, published, or passed to marketing lists. If a message contains something legally sensitive, say so in the first line and it gets handled accordingly.
There are ads on this site. What do they track?
Advertising is served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners set cookies so they can show ads based on the pages you have visited here and on other sites.
Specifically, Google uses the DART cookie for this purpose. If you would rather not have that, you can opt out through the Google Ads and Privacy Policy.
Other ad networks may also drop cookies to measure whether their campaigns worked. We do not control those cookies and cannot read the data inside them.
Do you use analytics?
Yes, in aggregate form — how many people opened a guide, roughly where they came from, which pages they leave quickly. We do not build individual profiles and do not join analytics data to your identity.
Can I get my data deleted?
Yes. Under GDPR and CCPA you can ask for a copy of what we hold, ask for corrections, or ask for erasure. You can also object to any processing. Write to the address on the contact page and it is handled within 30 days.
Do you sell anything to anyone?
No. No data is sold, rented, or shared with data brokers. Aggregate, anonymous traffic figures may be used to describe the site to advertisers — never anything that identifies a reader.
