Privacy

There are no accounts on this site, no password to lose, and no database of users. What follows is the complete list of what happens to data, in the order you are likely to encounter it.

Visiting the site

Pages are static files. The host records ordinary web server logs — IP address, user agent, which page — which is unavoidable and is how every website on the internet works.

Analytics are Google Analytics 4, and the tag is not loaded until you interact with the page: move the pointer, scroll, tap or press a key. A visitor who arrives and leaves without touching anything is never counted, and never has a request made to Google on their behalf. That is a deliberate trade — the numbers are slightly lower than the real ones, and nobody is tracked for arriving.

The contact form

What you type is emailed to us and nowhere else. It is not stored in a database, because there is no database. Your address is used to reply to you and is not added to any list.

The form is protected by a signed token rather than a CAPTCHA, so nothing about you is sent to a third party to prove you are human.

The email list

If you put your first name and address into the sign-up box, both go to Resend, which is the service that holds the list and sends the email. They are used to send you email and for nothing else: not sold, not shared, not used to look you up anywhere. There is no copy of the list on this site, because there is no database here to keep one in.

Signing up does not create an account and does not change anything else about how you use the site. Ask, on thecontact form, and you will be taken off the list.

Paying

Payment is handled entirely by Stripe. Card details are entered on Stripe’s own page and never touch this site — we never see a card number, and there is nothing here for a card number to be stored in.

A license key is derived by signing your Stripe customer id. It is not stored on our side at all: the same customer always produces the same key, which is why a lost key can be re-issued without us keeping a record of it. Checking a key asks Stripe whether the subscription is still live.

If you subscribe, Stripe tells us your email address so the key can be sent to you. It is used for that and nothing else.

Third parties, in full

• The host — serves the pages and keeps server logs.
• Stripe — payment, and the record of who is subscribed.
• Resend — sends the contact-form email and the license key email, and holds the email list.
• Google Analytics 4 — page views, after your first interaction.

There are no others. No advertising pixels, no session recording, no chat widget.

Your data

Since there is no account, there is very little to ask for — but if you want to know what Stripe holds against your purchase, or want the contact-form email deleted from the inbox,ask and it will be done.
