Privacy Policy

Overview

Your private information is none of my business. Literally. I don't collect it, I don't store it, and I don't sell it. This privacy policy exists because too many sites treat your data like a resource to harvest. This one doesn't.

What information is collected?

None. Zero. Zip. Zilch.

Use of cookies

No cookies: not for tracking, not for analytics, not for advertising, not even for fun. I'm not a cookie monster.

Use of third-party analytics

No third-party analytics: no Google Analytics, no tracking pixels, no ad networks, no fingerprinting. I genuinely do not know how many real people (or bots) visit this site. It could be 5, 42, or 5,000. It's a mystery and I'm fine with that.

Interest-based advertising

No ads. There will never be ads. If you see an ad on this site, something has gone terribly wrong and you should contact me immediately.

Mailing List

No mailing list, no newsletter, no weekly updates. If you want to know what's new, you'll have to visit this site like it's 1999.

Information shared with third parties

None. I have nothing to share. Third parties can go ask someone else.

Information security

There is no private information to secure. This is the most secure website on the internet by virtue of having nothing worth stealing.

Information retention

Zero seconds. I can't retain something that didn't exist in the first place.

Children's data

I don't collect data from humans between the ages of zero to infinity (and beyond)!

Hosting

This site is hosted on Vercel. Like every web host, Vercel servers automatically process basic technical information when you load a page: your IP address, what page you visited, and what browser you're using. This is how the internet works (not something I set up or enabled). I don't have access to this data. I also don't have Vercel analytics enabled.

For details on what Vercel collects as a hosting provider, see their privacy policy: vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.

Ko-fi donations

If you buy me a coffee via Ko-fi, the transaction is between you and Ko-fi/Stripe. I receive the donation but not your personal data. I don't know who you are unless you tell me. But I don't write that down so I'd have to rely on my fallible human brain.

Local storage

If you use a check list or "to-do" feature on this site, your progress is saved in your browser's storage on your device. This data never leaves your device and is never sent to any server. I have no access to it. If you clear your browser data, it's gone into the void.

Contacting me

If you have concerns about your privacy while using this site, please contact me at contact@grimshire.guide. I'll reply, but the answer will probably be copied from this page.

Email Communication

I don't collect email addresses like LinkedIn contacts (I don't even have LinkedIn). The only way I'm getting your email address is if you send an email to me first.

Upon receiving an email, a real human (that would be me) will:
- Actually read your email to determine if you are a Nigerian prince
- Manually press keys
- Attempt to formulate a coherent response
- Anxiously click send

Updates and revisions

If anything changes, I'll update this policy. Until then, enjoy Grimshire Guide without someone watching over your shoulder, tracking what you do, and bogging down your machine with background scripts consuming resources while running in the browser.
