I believe the internet should respect your privacy. Here's how I handle it on this site.
Analytics
I use Umami, a privacy-first analytics tool. It shows me what pages are popular and where readers come from - that's it.
Umami:
- Doesn't use cookies
- Doesn't collect personal information
- Can't identify you as an individual
- Doesn't track you across other websites
I can see that someone visited "Installing Win32 Apps" from Google on Chrome. I cannot see who you are, your IP address, or what you do next.

Newsletter
If you subscribe to the newsletter via the form on this site, your email goes to Kit (ConvertKit), not directly to me. Kit handles your email according to their privacy policy, which you can review here: Kit Privacy
I can see you're subscribed, but I don't have access to build profiles about you or track your behavior on this site.
That's Really It
No email capture outside the newsletter. No ads. No selling data. No fancy retargeting pixels. Just a simple technical blog.
If you have questions about how your data is handled, feel free to reach out on GitHub or LinkedIn.
