Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 9, 2026

Note: This is a general template. Have a lawyer review it before relying on it.

This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit this website, how it is used, and the choices you have. The site is run by Nick Wharton (“we”, “us”). By using the site you agree to the practices described here.

What we collect

We collect two kinds of information. First, information you give us directly, mainly your email address (and any name or details you choose to provide) when you sign up for the newsletter or use the contact form. Second, information that is collected automatically as you browse, such as your IP address, browser type, device, pages viewed, and how you arrived at the site. This automatic data is gathered through analytics and standard server logs.

How we use it

We use your email to send the newsletter and occasional updates you signed up for. We use analytics data to understand which content people find useful, to improve the site, and to keep it working and secure. We do not sell your personal information.

Analytics

We may use third-party analytics tools to measure traffic and usage. These tools may set cookies and collect aggregated, mostly anonymized data about how the site is used. For more detail on cookies, see our Cookie Policy.

Email and the newsletter

If you subscribe, your email is stored with an email service provider so we can send you messages. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. Unsubscribing stops future emails but does not delete records we are required to keep.

Affiliate links

Some pages may contain affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. These links may use cookies to attribute the referral. They do not change what we collect about you on this site.

Sharing your information

We share data only with the service providers that help us run the site (for example, hosting, email delivery, and analytics), and only as needed for them to perform that work. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the site and its users.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to object to certain uses. You can unsubscribe from emails at any time, and you can control cookies through your browser. To make a request, reach out through the contact page.

Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, such as keeping you subscribed to the newsletter, and then delete or anonymize it where reasonable.

Children

This site is not directed at children and is not intended for anyone under the age required by the laws of their country. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. When we do, we will change the date shown at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
