In this day and age, we’re all used to websites tracking us, saving data about us, and selling all that data to advertisers or other data brokers. This site does none of that, collecting only what is strictly necessary just for the normal operation of any website and only for that purpose. See below for details.
Cookies
Unless you have a login for this site – which you shouldn’t, unless you’re an employee – no cookies are used by this site.
Credit card numbers
We will not collect credit card numbers directly. Any payments will be processed via Square, which does not share your credit card information with us.
Website data
Data such as your computer’s IP address (a numeric address used for internet communications) and the page you visited is logged when you visit any site. For this website, that data is collected, kept, and managed by our hosting provider (Dreamhost). They do not share that information with anyone other than us, and only store that data for 7 days. For more information, see Dreamhost’s privacy policy:
https://www.dreamhost.com/legal/privacy-policy
We also use Plausible for analytics. We chose Plausible, instead of the privacy invasive Google Analytics, because they are a privacy-focused analytics company. See Plausible’s data policy to learn more about what data is collected:

We use Plausible to see things like what parts of the world people are visiting the site from, what pages are being viewed, how often pages are being viewed, etc.
How long we retain your data
If you contact us and share information as a customer or prospective customer, we will keep that information indefinitely to better help you again in the future. That data is not shared with anyone, and is stored securely, NOT in the cloud, on an encrypted local drive. If the drive containing this data were stolen, the data would be inaccessible.
At any time, if you have concerns about your data, simply contact us. We will delete your information on request, or answer any questions you may have.
