Privacy Policy

01. How We Are Supported (The “No‑BS” Version)

We’re not a big media company. We don’t have a lab, a research department, or a hidden VC agenda. We’re builders.

Our philosophy:

We only recommend tools we actually use to run our own operations. If it’s in our stack, it’s because we trust it enough to ship with it. That’s our version of “skin in the game.”

How we’re funded:

Some links on this site are affiliate or referral links (for example, to tools like Wise or Mercury). If you click a link and sign up or make a purchase, we may earn a commission.

• It never increases your price.
• It helps keep this site free and open.
• It lets us avoid running spammy banner ads or selling your data.

If a tool stops working for us, or we stop trusting it, we remove it from our stack. No exceptions.

02. Data We Collect (and What We Don’t)

We intentionally keep things lean.

We do not have:

• user registration
• comment sections
• direct payments on this site

That means we do not ask you for or store:

• credit card numbers
• home addresses
• government IDs (like Social Security numbers)

If you just browse the site, we’re not trying to figure out who you are. We respect your right to remain anonymous while you build.

We may collect basic technical data automatically, like:

• pages viewed
• approximate region (e.g., country)
• device / browser type

This is standard web server + analytics behavior and is used only in aggregate to understand how the site is being used.

03. Cookies, Referrals, and Third‑Party Partners

When we use referral or affiliate programs (through partners like CJ, Impact, or a vendor’s own system), they may set third‑party cookies in your browser to:

• know that you came from our site
• credit our account if you sign up or purchase

Key points:

• These cookies are managed by the third party, not by us.
• They typically expire within a set window (often around 30 days).
• They are designed to track referrals, not to personally identify you as an individual.

You can control or block cookies entirely in your browser settings. Doing that may stop referral tracking from working, but the content on our site will still be accessible.

04. Analytics

We use privacy‑focused analytics tools to understand general usage patterns, such as:

• which pages get the most traffic
• which content people actually read
• what sources send visitors to us

We care about aggregate behavior, not individual identities.

We do not use analytics to:

• build personal marketing profiles
• follow you around the internet
• combine analytics data with sensitive personal information

What we see is things like “X people visited this page this week,” not “Alice did Y at 3:27 pm.”

05. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to keep any information we handle as secure as we practically can. That includes:

• using reputable infrastructure providers
• limiting access to administrative systems
• keeping software reasonably up‑to‑date

But:

• No system connected to the internet is 100% secure.
• We cannot guarantee absolute security of any information transmitted to or through the site.

By using this site, you accept that:

• there is always some level of risk in transmitting data online
• you use the site and share information at your own risk

06. International Data Transfers

Our infrastructure and many of the tools we use are based in the United States or may route traffic through the U.S. or other countries.

If you access this site from outside the United States, that means:

• your information may be processed on servers located in the U.S. or other jurisdictions
• data protection laws in those places may differ from the laws where you live

By using the site, you consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of your information in the United States and elsewhere, as needed to operate the site and its supporting tools.

07. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our stack, tools, or legal requirements change.

When we do:

• we’ll update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page
• we may adjust or expand sections to reflect new tools or practices

Changes take effect when they’re posted on this page.

If you keep using the site after the policy changes, that counts as accepting the updated version.

If you’re not comfortable with the updated terms, your option is to stop using the site.
