Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 1, 2026

The short version: I collect only what I need to send you the newsletter and reply to you. I do not sell your information. You can ask me to remove it at any time.

1What I collect

Information you give me. If you subscribe to the newsletter or send a message through the contact form, I receive your name, your email address, and anything you choose to write.

Usage information. Like most websites, this site and its service providers collect basic data such as your IP address, browser type, device, pages viewed, and how long you stay. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies.

2How I use it

To send the newsletter you signed up for.
To reply to messages you send me.
To understand which posts and tools help people, so I can make more of them.
To keep the site secure and working well.

3Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. I use them to remember your preferences and to understand traffic. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site still works if you do, though a few features may not remember your choices.

4Tools and games on this site

Some tools run in your browser. For example, Win of the Day and the Play page can save a streak on your own device, and it never leaves your browser. The Wish Chain stores the wishes inside the link itself, so please do not put private details in a wish. Do not share a link you would not want others to read.

I do not sell or rent your personal information. I share it only with the service providers that run this site and send email for me, and only so they can do that work. I may also share information if the law requires it.

6Your choices

You can unsubscribe from any email using the link at the bottom of it. You can ask me what information I hold about you, or ask me to correct or delete it, by reaching out through the Contact page.
