Privacy Policy

One person. Denver. No team. Here's what happens when you visit this site.

What I collect

Loading a page here triggers a standard server log: IP address, browser type, the page visited, a timestamp, the referring URL. That's how web hosting works — can't turn it off. No signup forms, no user accounts, no email list. Nothing stored on my end beyond what the host logs automatically. A server log entry doesn't tell me who you are.

Cookies

One analytics cookie. Counts visits, doesn't identify you. No advertising cookies, no retargeting pixels, no cross-site tracking. Block them if you want — I checked and nothing on this site breaks.

Analytics

One analytics service. Anonymized: page views, browser type, country (not city). No personal profiles, nothing to advertisers. I look at it occasionally to see which home care topics are actually landing with people managing dental anxiety at 11 PM — more useful than guessing.

Affiliate links

Some outbound links are affiliate links — you click, you buy, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. I don't track which links you personally clicked; that's between you and the store. Commission doesn't change what I write. If something didn't work, it gets documented as something that didn't work — including products that carry commission links.

Data retention

Server logs: cleared after 30 days. Analytics session data: purged within 30 days. Only aggregate page-view counts survive — article X, Y views in April — and those don't connect back to any specific visitor.

Your rights

EU, EEA, UK, California residents: rights under GDPR Arts 15-22 and applicable local law. Access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), portability (Art. 20), objection (Art. 21). No accounts, anonymized analytics — usually nothing personal on my side to access or erase. Email me to confirm.

Contact

Email: mia@smilewithoutthechair.com. I read this myself. Usually reply in the evening.
