Privacy Policy

A privacy policy on a site about data removal should do better than "your privacy matters to us." Here's what this site actually does.

What I Collect

No forms, no accounts, no comment sections. The only data processing that happens here is from the analytics tool I use to understand readership: aggregate numbers like page visits, referral sources by category, and which articles drive return traffic. No individual visitor profiles are built. No behavioral data is sold or shared with third parties. Before choosing the analytics setup, I checked what data it actually stores at the server level. That felt like the minimum due diligence for a site about this topic.

Affiliate Links

Some outbound links here are affiliate links, meaning I get paid a small commission when you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. I don't collect or store any data about which links you click. For more on how the editorial side handles affiliate relationships, see my Editorial Policy.

Third Parties

No social widgets, no ad networks, no cross-site tracking pixels. Scripts and fonts load from this domain. If that ever changes, I'll update this page before it does.
