Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 1, 2026
This site exists to explore career health, judgment, and long-term professional thinking. It is not a data business. I collect as little personal information as possible, and only what is needed to keep the site running and improving.
What information is collected
Like most websites, this site collects some information automatically when you visit. This may include your IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and which pages you view. This data is used to understand how the site is used and to keep it functioning reliably.
If you choose to interact with the site by leaving a comment or subscribing to updates, you may provide information such as your name or email address. Providing this information is optional and entirely your choice.
Cookies and analytics
This site may use cookies or similar technologies to support basic functionality, measure traffic, and understand which content is useful to readers. Cookies help answer questions like which posts are being read and whether changes to the site improve clarity or usability.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may limit certain features, but the site will still be readable.
Advertising
This site may display advertisements in the future. If ads are enabled, advertising partners such as Google may use cookies to show ads based on visits to this site and other sites on the internet. This helps fund the work here without turning the site into a product.
You can learn more about how Google uses data and how to manage ad personalization through your Google account settings.
How information is used
Any information collected is used for a small set of purposes:
- To operate and maintain the site
- To understand which ideas resonate and which do not
- To improve clarity, structure, and navigation
- To support analytics and advertising, if enabled
- To protect the site from abuse or misuse
What I do not do
I do not sell personal information. I do not build user profiles. I do not track you across the internet beyond what standard analytics and advertising tools provide.
This site is not designed to harvest attention or data. If that ever changes, this policy will change with it.
Third-party services
The site relies on third-party services for hosting, analytics, and potentially advertising. These services may collect information according to their own privacy policies. I choose widely used providers specifically because their data practices are documented and inspectable.
Data retention
Information is retained only as long as it is useful for the purposes above, unless a longer retention period is required by law or by the tools that operate the site.
Your choices
You control how much information you share. You can:
- Read the site without providing personal information
- Disable cookies through your browser
- Unsubscribe from updates if you have subscribed
- Request removal of comments you have posted, where feasible
Children
This site is written for professionals and is not intended for children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new date. Continued use of the site means you accept the updated policy.
Closing note
Privacy is part of career health. You should understand the systems you operate inside. This page exists to make that system legible.
