Privacy

This site collects as little as it can, and this page says exactly what that is.

What the conversation keeps

When you use the conversation on the front page, what you type and what it replies are stored so I can see which questions people ask and improve the answers. No name, email or account is attached; the record carries a random session identifier and the date. If you then send me a message through the form, what you told the conversation comes with it, because that is the point. Conversation records are kept for 12 months and then deleted.

The contact form

Anything you submit (name, email, phone, business, and what you wrote) is sent to me by email and kept in the site’s form records so I can reply and keep track of our conversation. It is not shared with anyone else and is not used for marketing lists. Ask and I will delete it.

Analytics

With your consent, the site uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits, the pages read, and whether the conversation and the form are being used, with IP addresses anonymised. Google’s processing is described in Google’s privacy policy. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set and nothing is sent to Google.

Cookies

Strictly necessary: a small store in your browser that remembers your conversation and what you have told it, so you can carry on where you left off. It lives on your device and is never sent anywhere except to the form, by you. Analytics cookies are set only if you accept them in the banner, and you can change your choice at any time from the cookie settings link in the footer.

Hosting and security

The site is hosted in Canada by WPMU DEV. Server logs record IP addresses, pages requested and timestamps for security and troubleshooting, and are kept for a short period by the host.

AI systems

The conversation is powered by a language model from Anthropic. What you type is sent to that service to generate a reply and is not used by them to train models. Nothing you type is published.

Your rights

You can ask what I hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, or withdraw consent for analytics, by emailing the address on the contact page. I will reply within a few working days.
