Privacy

This website belongs to Matt Melvin. Cybercave Technologies hosts and runs it for him.

Email sign-up

If you sign up for updates, we collect your name, your email address and the date and time you signed up. We use them only to send you occasional updates about Matt and his book. Matt sends these updates from his own email account, so his email provider also handles your email address. We don't sell or share your information, except with the companies that host this site and provide Matt's email, which handle it only to provide those services. To block spam, the sign-up form also uses your IP address; it's held only in the server's memory and isn't saved with your sign-up or written to our logs. You can ask to be removed at any time by emailing [email protected]. We keep your sign-up until you ask to be removed. Sign-ups are also kept in encrypted backups for up to 7 years. When you ask to be removed, we delete you from the sign-up list; older backup copies aren't used to send emails, and if we ever restore one, we'll remove anyone who asked to be removed before it is used.

Visit counting

We count visits to this site with GoatCounter, a privacy-friendly counter that runs on our own server. It doesn't use cookies, doesn't follow you to other websites, and isn't used for advertising. The counter's own requests aren't saved in our server logs.

Server logs and Cloudflare

Like most websites, our web server keeps basic technical logs of requests to the site, such as pages viewed and sign-up forms sent, including the page address, the page you came from (if your browser sends it) and your browser type. These logs don't include your IP address or what you type into the form. We use them only to keep the site secure and working, and they're deleted automatically after about 30 days. The site is delivered through Cloudflare, which receives your IP address to deliver and protect the site, under its own privacy policy (cloudflare.com/privacypolicy).

Children

This site isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you think a child has signed up, email us and we'll remove it.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll post the new version here with a new date.
