Privacy policy.

The short version

There's no login, no e-commerce, and no form on this site that stores what you type. The only data collected is standard, privacy-conscious website analytics — which pages get read, which links get clicked — so I know what's worth writing more of. I never sell your data.

Who this covers

This policy applies to justinfowler.com and its subpages, operated by Justin Fowler. It doesn't cover third-party sites this site links to (LinkedIn, GitHub, PurpleChipmonk, and others) — check their own privacy policies.

What's collected

The site uses PostHog for limited analytics. It records page views and a small set of deliberately named actions such as portfolio, GitHub, LinkedIn, and PDF links. It may also receive approximate location (from IP, not an exact address), device/browser type, and the referring site.

Automatic click capture and session replay are disabled. Form values, typed text, mouse movement, and scrolling are not recorded.

Your browser's Do Not Track setting or an ad/tracker blocker will prevent most or all of this from running — that's fine, the site works identically either way.

What's not collected

• There's no account system, so no passwords, profiles, or saved preferences.
• There's no newsletter signup form — the "subscribe" button just opens your own email client, addressed to me. I don't receive or store anything unless you actually send that email.
• No email address or phone number appears anywhere as plain text on the site — contact links are built at click time in your browser.

How the data is used

Analytics data is used only to understand which content is useful and to improve the site. It's not used for advertising, and it's not shared with any data broker or ad network.

Who it's shared with

PostHog (PostHog Inc., US-based) processes analytics data on my behalf as a data processor. I don't sell, rent, or otherwise share your data with anyone else.

Your choices

Since nothing here is tied to an account, there's no dashboard to manage. If you'd like to know what analytics data exists about your visits, or want it deleted, email me and I'll take care of it directly in PostHog.

Children's privacy

This site isn't directed at children, and I don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 13.

Changes

I may update this policy as the site or its tools change. The "last updated" date at the top always reflects the current version.
