The Short Version
smallspaceham uses Google Analytics for anonymized traffic data and Kit to manage an optional email newsletter. We do not sell or share your data. That's it.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to track page views, traffic sources, and general usage patterns. GA4 collects data like your approximate location (country/region), device type, browser, and how you arrived at the site. IP addresses are anonymized. This data is aggregated -- we see trends, not individuals.
Analytics cookies are blocked by default and only set after you accept the cookie banner. We do not use this data for advertising or share it with third parties outside of Google's standard data processing. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by clicking Decline on the cookie banner.
Cookies
Once you accept the cookie banner, Google Analytics sets cookies to distinguish unique visitors and sessions. These are standard analytics cookies and do not contain personally identifiable information. We also store your cookie-banner choice in your browser's localStorage so we don't ask you again. No other first-party cookies are set by this site.
Email Newsletter
If you subscribe to the newsletter, we collect your email address via Kit (kit.com, formerly ConvertKit), which acts as our email service provider. Your email is stored on Kit's servers and used to send you new guides, findings, and site updates. We do not sell or share your email address with third parties.
Submitting the form transmits your email address to Kit, which is governed by Kit's own privacy policy. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send. If you'd like your record fully deleted from Kit rather than just unsubscribed, contact us and we'll handle it.
Affiliate Links
Some outbound links on this site are affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link, the retailer (Amazon, etc.) may set their own cookies to track the referral. Those retailers have their own privacy policies -- we don't control or have access to that data.
No Other Personal Data
smallspaceham has no user accounts and no comment system. Outside of optional newsletter signups, we do not collect names, email addresses, or any other personally identifiable information. The only data we receive passively is what Google Analytics captures from site visits, and only after you accept the cookie banner.
Contact Form
The contact form on this site transmits your name, email address, and message to [email protected] via a Cloudflare Worker. This data is used only to respond to your message and is not retained beyond that purpose.
Third-Party Links
This site links to external retailers, documentation, and other websites. Once you leave smallspaceham.com, this privacy policy no longer applies. Review the privacy policy of any site you visit.
