Privacy policy

What this site collects, why, and how to get it removed.

Last updated: August 2026

This policy explains what information lpreston.com collects, how it is used, and what you can do about it. It is written to be readable rather than exhaustive. If you have a question it does not answer, ask me.

Before you publish: this is a working template, not legal advice. Fill in the bracketed sections with the tools you actually use, and have a lawyer review it if your traffic or jurisdiction warrants it. Remove this note before launch.

Who runs this site

lpreston.com is operated by L. Preston. For any privacy question, contact [your contact email].

What is collected

Information you give me. If you subscribe to the newsletter, you provide an email address. That is stored with my email provider, [your email platform, e.g. ConvertKit or MailerLite], and used only to send the newsletter and any guide you requested. It is never sold or shared.

If you send a message through the contact form, I receive whatever you put in it.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, this one collects standard analytics: pages viewed, approximate location at the country or city level, referring site, device type, and browser. This is handled by [your analytics tool, e.g. Google Analytics 4 or Plausible] and is used to understand which posts are useful.

Cookies. Cookies are small files stored by your browser. This site uses them for analytics, and affiliate retailers set their own cookies when you click an outbound product link so that a resulting purchase is attributed correctly. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site will still work.

What is never collected

I do not collect payment information, because nothing is sold directly on this site. I do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

Product links on this site are affiliate links. Clicking one may place a cookie from the retailer in your browser. Those retailers have their own privacy policies governing what they collect once you land on their site, and I have no control over or access to that data. See the affiliate disclosure for the full picture.

Third parties with access to data

  • [Your email platform] — stores newsletter subscriber emails
  • [Your analytics tool] — processes site analytics
  • Netlify — hosts this site and processes standard server logs
  • Google Fonts — serves the typefaces used on this site

Your rights

You can unsubscribe from any email using the link in its footer. You can request a copy of the data held about you, or ask for it to be deleted, by emailing [your contact email]. Requests are handled within 30 days.

If you are in the EU or UK, you have additional rights under GDPR, including the right to object to processing and the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. If you are in California, you have rights under the CCPA including the right to know what is collected and to request deletion. This site does not sell personal information under any definition of that term.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the date at the top will change and the update will be noted here.
