Privacy

Plain words, no stickers.

This page explains what this blog collects, why, and what you can do about it. The short version: we collect very little, we never sell it, and most of what the site remembers stays in your own browser.

Who we are

This blog is run by 28th Bay Digital. For any privacy question or request, email contact@28thbaydigital.com.

Ads and cookies

This site shows ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technology to show ads, to measure them, and, if you allow it, to show ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can turn off personalised ads in Google's Ad Settings, and read how Google uses cookies in advertising. You can also visit aboutads.info to opt out of some third-party ad cookies.

If you visit from the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, a consent message from Google asks for your choice before any ad cookies are set. You can change your choice at any time from the privacy settings link that the message adds to the page.

Visit statistics

We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which posts are read, so we know what to write next. It uses cookies and gets your IP address, which Google shortens before storing. Where consent is needed, it waits for your choice in the consent message. You can block it with Google's opt-out add-on.

What stays in your browser

The site remembers a few choices in your browser's local storage: light or dark theme, the checklist items you ticked, and where you moved the pinned notes. This never leaves your device, and clearing your browser data removes it.

Videos

Embedded YouTube videos do not load until you click play. When you do, the video loads from youtube-nocookie.com, and Google's privacy policy applies to that video.

Search

The search on this site runs inside your browser. What you type is not sent to us or to anyone else.

Email you send us

If you email us or use the contact form, we use your name, email and message only to reply to you. Contact form messages are deleted after 12 months.

Newsletter

If you join the newsletter, we keep your email address only to send it. Every letter has a one-click link to leave, and leaving deletes your address. We never sell, rent or share subscriber lists.

Server logs

Like every website, our host (Hostinger) keeps short-lived server logs, such as IP addresses and the pages requested, to keep the site running and secure.

Your rights

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email contact@28thbaydigital.com and we will reply within 30 days. Where the law gives you the right, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date below changes too.
