Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly when you fill out the contact form.
This may include your name, email address, inquiry type, and the details of your message.

How We Use It

We use your information solely to respond to your enquiry.
We do not sell or share your data with data brokers or marketing lists.

Legal Basis for Processing

This site operates under the laws of the State of Ohio, United States.
There is no single federal US privacy law requiring us to specify a legal basis for processing, but we do so voluntarily for transparency:

  • Consent: when you submit the contact form, you are voluntarily providing your information for us to respond.
  • Legitimate interest: we use aggregated analytics to understand how the site performs and improve it.

For EU and UK Visitors

If you are located in the European Union or United Kingdom, the following legal bases under Article 6 of the EU GDPR / UK GDPR also apply:

  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): we process contact form submissions only when you voluntarily provide them.
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): we use aggregated analytics to maintain and improve the site.
    You may limit analytics tracking through your browser privacy settings, content blockers, or Google’s Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary:

  • Contact form enquiries: email correspondence is retained only as long as necessary to respond and meet any applicable legal or tax requirements.
  • Analytics data: Google Analytics data retention is configured to the shortest practical retention period available within GA4.

Analytics and Tracking

This site uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with first-party cookies to monitor and analyse web traffic, understand how visitors use the site, and improve content over time. We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics for cookieless, aggregated traffic and performance metrics. IP anonymisation is enabled where supported by Google Analytics configuration. We track:

  • Page views and session duration
  • Clicks on affiliate links such as Wise, NordVPN, and StreamYard
  • Clicks on YouTube channel and membership links
  • Clicks on donation links

This data is processed by Google LLC and governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

You may limit analytics through browser privacy settings, content blockers, or the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Data Sharing

We share data only with the following service providers as required to operate this site:

  • Hostinger: our hosting provider, which processes server requests and stores site files.
  • Cloudflare, Inc.: our DNS, CDN, security, and analytics provider.
    All visitor requests pass through Cloudflare's edge network, which processes IP addresses and request metadata for caching, security, and DDoS protection.
    We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics for aggregated traffic and performance metrics. Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookieless and collects no personal information.
    We also use Cloudflare Turnstile on the contact form to deter automated submissions; Turnstile collects browser session signals to distinguish humans from bots. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
  • Postmark (ActiveCampaign, Inc.): our transactional email provider. Contact form submissions are delivered to us via Postmark's API. Postmark retains transactional delivery logs per its own retention policy. See the Postmark Privacy Policy.
  • Google LLC (Google Analytics): aggregated site analytics.

We do not sell your data to third parties or share it with data brokers or advertising networks.

This site embeds YouTube videos. YouTube (Google LLC) may collect data when you interact with embedded content, in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy.

Some outbound links on this site are affiliate links (including but not limited to Wise, NordVPN, and StreamYard).
When you click an affiliate link, the destination merchant may set their own cookies to track the referral.
We do not control these cookies.
