COLLECTING AND USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA


TYPES OF DATA COLLECTED

 * Personal Data While using Our Service, We may ask You to provide Us with
   certain personally identifiable information that can contact or identify You.
   Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:

 * Usage Data


USAGE DATA

Usage Data is collected automatically when using the Service.

Usage Data may include information such as Your Device’s Internet Protocol
address (e.g., IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our
Service that You visit, the time and date of Your visit, the time spent on those
pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

When You access the Service by or through a mobile device, We may collect
certain information automatically. This information includes, but is not limited
to, the type of mobile device You use, Your mobile device’s unique ID, the IP
address of Your mobile device, Your mobile operating system, the type of mobile
Internet browser You use, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

We may also collect information that Your browser sends whenever You visit our
Service or when You access the Service by or through a mobile device.


TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES AND COOKIES

(We don’t use any of these but here is information about them and additional
privacy information and how to remove them.)


PRIVACY SELF-DEFENSE

By disabling JavaScript will minimally impact the appearance of this website and
by disabling JavaScript you significantly decrease trends analysis and presence
in advertising databases. The EFF covers how to defend against browser
fingerprinting and other privacy self-defense techniques.


USE TOR

In addition to the publishing of this website on the open internet, this site is
also published on Tor, Gemini, I2P, and other locations. You can find these
locations in the footer and use them to protect your privacy.


TRUST, BUT VERIFY.

You can confirm that no tracking technologies are used by looking at “Storage”
in the Web Developer tools. Additionally, only one tiny script is run, and that
is to update the year in the footer.


COOKIES

Cookies and similar tracking technologies are used to track the activity on Our
Service and store certain information. Tracking technologies used are beacons,
tags, and scripts to collect and track information and improve and analyze Our
Service. The technologies We use may include:

 * Cookies or Browser Cookies. A cookie is a small file placed on Your Device.
   You can instruct Your browser to refuse all Cookies or to indicate when a
   cookie is sent. However, if You do not accept Cookies, You may not be able to
   use some parts of our Service. Unless you have adjusted Your browser setting
   to refuse cookies, our Service may use Cookies.

Cookies can be “Persistent” or “Session” Cookies. Persistent Cookies remain on
Your personal computer or mobile device when You go offline, while Session
Cookies are deleted as soon as You close Your web browser.


SUPERCOOKIES

 * Flash Cookies. Certain features of our Service may use local stored objects
   (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information about Your preferences or
   Your activity on our Service. Flash Cookies are not managed by the same
   browser settings as those used for Browser Cookies.
 * Local Shared Objects. These are similar to Flask Cookies; there are four
   separate areas in the browser to store persistent data Cookies, Flash Objects
   or Flash Cookies (see above), the browser cache (see below), and LSO’s
   (Locally Shared Objects) that are typically in the form of SQLite Databases
   or other persistent in-browser storage locations. Another is a UIDH or Unique
   IDentifier Header that is added inline to your query by your ISP. We don’t
   read your UIDH or use any persistent storage.


BEACONS

 * Web Beacons. Certain sections of our Service and our emails may contain small
   electronic files known as web beacons, also referred to as clear gifs, pixel
   tags, and single-pixel gifs. This beacon permits the Company, for example, to
   count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other
   related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of a
   particular section and verifying system and server integrity).

(We use none of the methods above;) if we did, it would be for the purposes set
out below:

 * Necessary / Essential Cookies
   
   Type: Session Cookies
   
   Administered by: Us
   
   Purpose: These cookies are essential to provide You with services available
   through the Website and enable You to use some of its features. They help to
   authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts. Without these
   Cookies, the services that You have asked for cannot be provided, and We only
   use these Cookies to provide You with those services.

 * Cookies Policy / Notice Acceptance Cookies
   
   Type: Persistent Cookies
   
   Administered by: Us
   
   Purpose: These Cookies identify if users have accepted the use of cookies on
   the Website.

 * Functionality Cookies
   
   Type: Persistent Cookies
   
   Administered by: Us
   
   Purpose: These cookies allow us to remember choices You make when using the
   Website, such as remembering your login details or language preference. The
   purpose of these cookies is to provide You with a more personal experience
   and avoid You having to re-enter your preferences every time You use the
   Website.


ANALYTICS

 * Google Analytics. You also load our analytics package that uses JavaScript to
   provide aggregated information in Google Analytics by loading our Website.
   It’s common to find this on a website, but we believe you’re more critical
   than a real-time spreadsheet.

 * Content Distribution Network. This website lives in the cloud, via third
   parties we have relationships with, and every time you load this Website,
   you’re often pulling it from the a global CDN like Cloudflare, KeyCDN or
   BunnyCDN. BunnyCDN is our primary and is very privacy positive. KeyCDN is
   available to us as a backup network. Our service providers may use CloudFlare
   although we do not directly.

 * Twitter Website Tag This domain, matthewjharmon.com and others, are listed in
   publications and social media presence such as Twitter. The Twitter website
   tag is a piece of Java Script that pulls the “universal website tag” from
   static.ads-twitter.com.
