Privacy Policy

One person, one home office, Highlands Ranch, Colorado. No privacy team. No legal department. Just a standard hosting setup and one analytics tool. Here's what actually happens when you visit this site.

What I collect

When you load a page here, the hosting provider logs a standard server entry: IP address, browser type, the page you requested, a timestamp, the URL you came from. That's how web hosting works — I can't turn it off, and it's not something I'm doing intentionally. No forms on this site. No user accounts. No email list. Nothing stored on my end beyond what the host logs automatically, and a server log entry doesn't tell me who you are.

Cookies

One analytics cookie. Counts page visits without identifying you. No advertising cookies, no retargeting, no cross-site tracking. Block them if you want — nothing on the site breaks.

Analytics

I use one analytics service. What it tells me: anonymized page views, browser type, country (not city, not your address). No personal profiles. Nothing shared with advertisers. I look at the dashboard once a week or so, mainly to see whether the sleep posts are getting found through search or just sitting there for me and a few guys I know from a neighborhood forum.

Affiliate links

Some outbound links here are affiliate links — meaning I get paid a small commission when you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. I don't collect or store data about which links you click personally; that's between you and the retailer. Commission doesn't shape what ends up written here. Supplements that didn't work are documented as supplements that didn't work — not quietly removed or softened into a mixed review. For more on how the editorial side handles affiliate relationships, see my author page.

Data retention

Server logs: cleared after 30 days. Analytics session data: purged within 30 days. Only aggregate page-view counts survive after that — post X had Y visits in March — and those don't connect to any individual visitor.

Your rights

EU, EEA, UK, and California residents have rights under GDPR Articles 15–22 and applicable local law: access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), portability (Art. 20), objection (Art. 21). Since this site has no accounts and analytics is anonymized, there's usually nothing personal on my end to access or erase. Email me and I'll confirm what exists.
