This policy explains what information is collected when you visit edvane.world, the personal website of Jonathan B. Edvane, and how that information is handled. The short version is that very little is collected, none of it is sold, and you can ask me to remove anything at any time.
Email addresses
If you subscribe to The Edvane Dispatch through the signup form on this site, your email address is collected and stored by Buttondown, the service that sends the newsletter. If you subscribe through Substack, your email address is held by Substack under their own privacy policy. In both cases your address is used only to send you the content you signed up for. I do not share, sell or pass on subscriber email addresses to anyone else for any reason. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email, and your address will be removed.
Comments
Some pages on this site include a comment widget provided by Elfsight. If you leave a comment, Elfsight may collect information such as your name and the content of your message. Elfsight may also set cookies in your browser to support the widget. Their privacy policy governs how that data is handled on their side. I use these comments solely to allow readers to respond to the writing on this site.
Hosting and server logs
This site is hosted by Netlify. Like most web hosts, Netlify may automatically collect standard server log information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, the pages you viewed and the time of your visit. I do not use any additional analytics or tracking tools. I do not run Google Analytics or any similar service. I do not place advertising cookies or tracking pixels on this site.
Embedded content
Certain pages embed content from third-party services, including YouTube videos and Spotify audio players. When you load a page containing an embed, that service may collect data about your visit according to its own privacy policy. These embeds are used only to present my own content hosted on those platforms.
Cookies
This site does not set cookies of its own. Third-party services embedded on this site, such as Elfsight, YouTube and Spotify, may set cookies in your browser when their content loads. You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings.
Your rights
You have the right to ask what data I hold about you, to request that it be corrected, or to ask that it be deleted. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, or if you have any questions about this policy, you can contact me at jbedvane@gmail.com.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in any meaningful way, I will update it here. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised.
