Privacy
In effect August 27, 2026
This site collects almost nothing. There are no cookies on it and no analytics watching you read. If you write to me through the form, I get what you typed and I use it to write back.
The form asks for your name, your email address, the reason you're writing, and your message. That goes to Netlify, which hosts this site and holds form submissions for me. I read it and reply.
I keep it for as long as the conversation is useful. Ask me to delete it and I will.
On the Perspective page there's a box for The Participation Exchange. When you submit it, your address goes to Substack, which runs the newsletter. It doesn't come to me first, and I never see a list of who typed what. What Substack does with it is covered by Substack’s privacy policy.
Netlify keeps standard web logs. That means IP addresses, browser and device type, which pages were requested, and when. It's how a website gets delivered and how abuse gets blocked. I don't build profiles out of it and I don't look at it to identify readers.
No cookies. No analytics. No advertising pixels and no session recording. The typefaces load from this domain rather than from Google, so no font company sees your visit. Nothing on this site follows you anywhere else, and no other company collects information about your activity across other websites through this one.
I don't sell personal information and I don't share it for advertising. There's nothing to sell and no interest in doing it.
Some browsers send a Do Not Track signal. Because nothing here tracks you across sites, there's nothing for that signal to switch off. The honest answer is that I comply by not collecting it in the first place.
This site links out to Substack, LinkedIn, The Many, Fast Company, and the Participation Atlas. Once you're on one of those, their privacy terms apply and mine stop.
Email me and I'll tell you what I hold, correct it, or delete it. No form to fill in for that.
If you're in the EU or the UK, you also have the right to object to what I'm doing with it, to get a copy in portable form, and to complain to your data protection authority. My basis for holding what you send me is simple: you wrote to me and I want to answer.
If you're in California, you have the right to know what I collect, to have it corrected, and to have it deleted. I don't sell or share personal information, so there's no opt-out to give you.
This site isn't aimed at children and I don't knowingly collect anything from anyone under sixteen.
If any of the above changes in a way that matters, I'll rewrite this page and change the date at the top. There's no mailing list for privacy updates because that would mean collecting more addresses.
Questions about any of this go to the same place everything else does: hello@christiankjacobsen.com.
