We do not use any advertising, social media, or third-party analytics cookies.
Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). This means your browser makes requests to Google's servers to download font files. Google's own privacy policy applies to this data. We do not control what Google does with these requests, though Google states that font requests are not used for tracking.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party. We do not serve advertising. The only external service that receives any data from your browser visit is Google Fonts (as described above).
Analytics data is retained indefinitely in aggregate form. If you delete your account, your personal data (email, display name) is removed from our systems.
