All Things Privacy
🛡️ What can you expect?
I treat your confidences the same way I’d want my own treated—carefully, transparently, and no side of creepy internet stalking. Here’s the story on what I track, why I track it, and what to expect regarding your personal info.
🗂️ What info do I collect?
- IP address, browser type, clicks (via Google Analytics).
- Cookies for quicker loading and relevant ads.
- Email (if you sign up for newsletters).
- Name and payment info (if you buy stuff).
- Details from comments or contact forms.
📊 Why do I collect it?
Tracking helps me deliver a better experience, keeping the site speedy and useful. Specifically:
- Faster pages.
- Ads that aren’t soul-crushingly irrelevant (Google AdSense, sometimes; affiliate links for sure).
- Newsletters (unsubscribe anytime, no drama).
- Use patterns and analytics via Google Analytics and social media trackers.
- Smooth, secure transactions (payment details aren’t stored here).
🕵️Who sees your data?
Only those of our tech overlords who actually have a legit use case get access. For example:
- Google (Analytics, ads).
- Affiliate programs (like Amazon).
- Social media platforms (for tracking).
- Payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal).
- These third parties might use cookies or geolocation for ads. Opt-out easily at aboutads.info or Google’s Ads Settings.
🍪 What about cookies?
Cookies help ads suck less, pages load fast, and analytics deliver meaningful insights. The full scoop on what I serve up is below.
✋ Your info, your call.
You can:
- Ask to see your data.
- Request I delete whatever I’ve got on you.
- Opt-out of personalized ads.

IGive me a holler. I’m not the Maytag repairman, but I’ll get to you as soon as I can anyway.
🔐 Keeping your data secure.
Private data gets top-notch encryption and safe servers. Payments are handled by payment pros. If anything goes sideways, I’ll tell you honestly and promptly and do my best to make it right.
🛒 Ads and affiliate links.
I make make a modest commission when you use affiliate links—it doesn’t cost you a penny extra. Opinions remain fiercely my own. Some ads are automated, so use your street smarts about claims. Spot something sketchy or a copyright concern? Talk to me!
📋 Policy tweaks.
Laws change, so this policy may as well. Check back occasionally if you have a question. [Last updated: June 15, 2025]
Thanks for trusting me with your clicks. I’ll do my best to deserve it.
Terms and Conditions ⚖️
I do my best to provide accurate, useful and (theoretically) entertaining content. But I’m not your doctor, your lawyer, your therapist, or your mother. Your choices are your responsibility, always. Use your best judgment, and get professional advice if you need it.
If something breaks or goes pear shaped, I appreciate a heads up. But understand there’s no warranty here. About all I can guarantee you is that I will do my best. Some days, that looks decidedly better than others. But it’s always what I’ve got.
Peace out, friends.
