Privacy

Long story short, I believe everyone should know who has your personal data, how it is being collected/stored, and what it is being used for.

However, it is ultimately up to each person to determine how much data they are willing to give to any business/entity.

For the sake of transparency I am using{' '} Umami Analytics {' '} to anonymously track visits to my site. You can completely block this if you want by either using an AdBlocker like{' '} uBlock Origin {' '} and/or set your browser to send "Do Not Track" requests as I honor them.
