What I collect ​

This website uses two cookie-free, privacy-focused analytics services:

Together they may collect:

  • Page views and unique visitor counts
  • Bandwidth usage
  • Browser and operating system type
  • Geographic location (country/region)
  • Referring website

Neither service uses cookies. No personal data such as names, email addresses, or persistent IP addresses is collected or stored by these services.

Contact form ​

If you submit the form at /contact, the name, email address, and message you provide are sent to and stored by Static.app on my behalf. I use this information solely to respond to your enquiry. I retain submissions for up to 24 months in case of follow-up, then delete them. I do not add you to any mailing list.

Email ​

If you email me directly at ed@edcs.me, I store your message and email address solely to respond. I retain correspondence for up to 24 months in case of follow-up, then delete it. I do not add you to any mailing list.

No cookies ​

This website does not set any cookies.

Third-party services ​

Other than Static.app (analytics and contact form processing), Plausible (analytics), and Google Fonts (typefaces), this website does not load resources from third-party services.

Your rights ​

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data I hold about you. Email ed@edcs.me to make a request.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
