Information we collect

• Analytics: we use Google Analytics 4 and Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand which pages help readers. Both can be configured to anonymize IPs. No personally identifying information leaves the page beyond what GA4 collects by default.
• Email signups: if you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email with our newsletter provider (Beehiiv). You can unsubscribe in one click from any email.
• Contact form: messages you send through the contact form are delivered to our inbox. We don't store them in a separate CRM.
