1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

When you use the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. If you email us directly, we receive only what you choose to include.

This information is aggregated and used only to see which content people find and read. We do not use it to identify you personally, and we have not enabled Google's advertising features.

Page-View Counter

The Site also uses a built-in, cookie-free page-view counter. It records the page visited, the referring site, and a hashed visitor ID that changes daily. We use this information only to see overall traffic statistics. It cannot be used to track you across days or across other websites.

Fonts

The Site loads fonts from Google Fonts, a service provided by Google LLC. When your browser requests these fonts, Google receives your IP address. Google's handling of this information is described in the Google Privacy Policy.

Technical Information

The servers and hosting providers that deliver the Site may automatically process limited technical information, such as IP address and browser type, to deliver pages and keep the Site secure.
