When do we collect information?

We collect information from you when you subscribe to a newsletter, fill out a form, or enter information on our site. For Amazon Alexa apps, we also collect emails through use of the service for quality control and bug fixes.

How do we protect your information?

Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights and are required to keep the information confidential. All sensitive information is encrypted via SSL technology.

All payment transactions are processed through a gateway provider (Stripe via Ghost) and are not stored or processed on our servers.

Analytics

We use Umami, a privacy-focused, open-source analytics platform. Umami does not use cookies, does not collect any personal data, and is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR. All data is anonymized and aggregated — we see page views and referrers, never individual user data.

Cookies

We use minimal cookies strictly necessary for site functionality:

• Session cookies for logged-in members (authentication).
• Theme preference cookies (light/dark mode).
• Ghost CMS functional cookies.

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or third-party cookies. Our analytics (Umami) is entirely cookie-free.
