Privacy

How I handle your data

Short version: I keep this simple and privacy-first. No advertising, no cross-site tracking, no selling data. A page counter that cannot tell who you are runs always; Google Analytics only runs after you say yes.

At a glance

Four things to know.

  • Page counter: always on

    The date, the page and the site you came from. No cookie, no identifier, no IP address.

  • Google Analytics: only after yes

    Off until you accept the cookie banner, and you can change your mind any time.

  • Forms: only what you type

    Used to reply and do the work. Never added to a marketing list without asking.

  • Never

    This site shows no ads, sells nothing it learns, and doesn’t follow you to other sites.

What I collect

Every visit adds one line to a page counter I run on this domain: the date, the page, and the site you came from (for example, LinkedIn or Google). That is all it stores. No cookie, no identifier, no IP address, nothing that could tell one visitor from another, which is why it does not ask first.

When you accept the cookie banner, this site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how people find the site and which pages they read — for example, whether you arrived from Google, LinkedIn, or a direct link. It records things like pages viewed, rough location (city / region), and the type of device and browser. Google receives your IP address as part of the connection and uses it to estimate that rough location. I never see your name, email, or any identifying detail from analytics.

Your choice comes first

Analytics stay off until you accept. Until then the Google Analytics code isn’t loaded at all, so nothing about your visit goes to Google, and no analytics cookie is set. If you decline, it stays that way. You can change your mind any time:

If you contact me

When you send a message or request a scorecard through a form on this site, I receive what you type: your name, email, website, and message, so I can reply and do the work. I use it only for that. I don’t add you to a marketing list without asking, and I don’t share it with anyone else.

Third parties

Google Analytics is the only third-party service that touches your visit, and it doesn’t load until you accept. Fonts are self-hosted on this domain, so they don’t call out to anyone. Forms are handled by Netlify, the host that serves this site.

Netlify and Google are US companies. What you send through a form, and analytics data if you accept, may be stored and processed outside Québec and Canada, including in the United States.

Who’s responsible

I am. Colin Robey, owner of this business, is responsible for any personal information this site collects. To ask a question, or to see, correct or delete what I hold about you, email , call (289) 812-9084, or write to PO Box 71046, RPO Maplehurst, Burlington ON L7T 4J8.

You can also send me a message here, and I’ll answer honestly.
