Privacy Policy

Newsletter forms collect your email address, optional name, source details such as UTM parameters, referrer, user agent, timestamp, and IP address used for rate limiting and abuse prevention.

Quiz tracking may collect a session identifier, quiz and question identifiers, selected answers, correctness, score, time spent, and a shortened hash of your IP address.

Purchases through Polar may provide us with order, product, customer, license, fulfillment, and support details needed to deliver the product and handle buyer support. Polar processes payment details in its checkout.

Hosting, analytics, security, and logging systems may collect device, browser, page, request, country or region, referrer, performance, and error data.

We use information to deliver the website, send requested emails, manage unsubscribes, fulfill purchases, provide product access, answer support requests, understand site usage, protect the service, debug errors, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

Polar acts as merchant of record for paid orders. Polar collects and processes checkout information, payment information, tax details, receipts, refunds required by law, chargebacks, and buyer support related to payment processing.

We receive purchase records needed for fulfillment, support, accounting, and access management.

The site may use cookies, local storage, and similar browser storage for newsletter popup state, preferences, analytics, security, and checkout-related flows.

Browser settings usually let you clear or block storage. Blocking storage may affect preferences, popups, analytics opt-outs, or checkout behavior.

Information may be processed by service providers used for hosting, analytics, database storage, email/newsletter operations, payment processing, fraud prevention, support, logging, and security.

Current categories include Polar for purchases, PocketBase or related database infrastructure for subscriptions and quiz logs, Vercel Analytics, Cloudflare analytics, hosting providers, and email delivery tools.

We share information with service providers as needed to run the site and deliver products. We may also share information when required for legal compliance, fraud prevention, security, accounting, professional advice, dispute handling, or business transfers.

We do not sell your personal information for money.

Newsletter records are kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to backup and legal retention needs. Purchase and accounting records are kept as long as required for fulfillment, support, tax, legal, dispute, and audit purposes.

Server logs, analytics data, and quiz records are kept for periods suited to operations, security, product improvement, and debugging.

You can unsubscribe from emails using the unsubscribe link or by contacting support. You can request access, correction, deletion, objection, restriction, or portability where those rights apply under your local law.

Payment-related privacy requests may also need to be submitted to Polar because Polar controls checkout and payment records.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so report suspected issues to support.

Service providers may process information in countries other than your country. Those transfers happen as part of hosting, analytics, checkout, support, and operations.

The site is intended for software developers and technical readers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
