Privacy

The contact form

If you fill in the form on the contact page, it collects four things: your name, your pronouns if you choose to give them, your email address, and your message.

That goes straight to my inbox as an email, through a service called Resend, which handles the sending. It is not stored in a database, added to a mailing list, or passed to anyone else. I keep the email for as long as the conversation is useful, the same as any other email.

Pronouns are optional and exist so I can address you correctly. Nothing else uses that field.

Visits

I use Vercel Web Analytics to see which pages get read. It is cookieless and aggregated: it reports counts of page views, referrers and rough country, and does not build a profile of you or follow you to other sites. The script is served from this domain, so loading a page here makes no request to any third party.

There are no cookies on this site. Nothing is written to local storage. There is no advertising, no tracking pixel, and no Google Analytics.

Outbound links

Links on the links page point at /go/<name> and redirect onward. That hop records which link was clicked and when, so I can see which ones people find useful. It deliberately records no IP address and no browser details — the question is which link gets clicked, and anything more than that is data this site has no reason to hold.

Hosting

The site is hosted by Vercel. Like any web host, their servers process requests to serve pages and may keep short-lived operational logs. That is Vercel's handling, under their own privacy policy, not something this site controls.

Things this site does not do

It does not sell or share personal information. It does not profile you, target advertising, or make automated decisions about you. It is not aimed at children and does not knowingly collect their information.

Asking for your data, or its removal

Because the only personal information here is email you sent me, this is simple: email howdy@oryfrazier.com and ask. I will tell you what I have, send you a copy, or delete it. No form, no account, no identity-verification hoops. Depending on where you live you may have a formal right to this; you are getting it either way.

The podcast

Hard Days is distributed through Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube. Listening there happens on their platforms, under their privacy policies, not mine — I see only the aggregate numbers they choose to show me.

Changes

If this changes, the date at the top changes with it. There is no mailing list to notify, which is rather the point.
