Privacy & Cookies

The short version

No tracking cookies, no ads, and nothing sold or shared for marketing. That is why you never see a cookie banner here.

Visitor numbers

To know which stories people read, this site uses Vercel Web Analytics. It sets no cookies and does not follow you to other sites. It counts page visits in an anonymous way, with the page, the country, the type of device and the site that sent you. Your IP address is not stored.

The newsletter

If you sign up, your email address is sent to Beehiiv, the service that sends the letters. It is used only to send them to you. Every letter has an unsubscribe link, and you can ask for your address to be deleted at any time.

What stays on your device

A few small things are saved in your own browser, never sent to us: your light or dark theme, and on the Breathing Room page, your jar of good things and your visits this week. You can clear them anytime by clearing this site’s data in your browser.

Read-aloud uses your device’s own voices, so no text or audio leaves your device.

Hosting

The site is hosted by Vercel, and images and stories are served by Sanity. Like any web server, they briefly handle technical data such as your IP address to deliver the pages, and keep it only as long as needed for security.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask to see, correct or delete any data about you. Just get in touch through the Connect page.
