Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 22, 2026

Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what information joemaule.com collects, why, who processes it, and what choices you have.

Information We Collect

Analytics. Every page on this site loads a privacy-focused analytics service, which records a visit automatically when you load a page. For each visit it collects the page you viewed, the referring page, your browser and operating system, your screen width, your language setting, and your approximate location at country level. It does not store your IP address or your full browser user-agent string, and it does not assign you a persistent tracking identifier. To count returning visits within a single session, it holds your IP address and user-agent in memory for up to eight hours and converts them into a random string; that mapping is never written to its database.

Direct contact. If you email us or connect on LinkedIn, we receive whatever information you choose to include in that message.

This site has no signup form, mailing list, comments feature, user accounts, or logins, and we do not ask for or store payment details.

How We Use Your Information

Analytics data is used in aggregate to understand which articles are read and how people find the site. It is not used to build a profile of you or to target advertising.

If you contact us directly, we use your details only to reply to you. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own purposes.

Cookies and Browser Storage

This site sets no cookies. Our analytics stores nothing on your device — no cookies, no localStorage, no cache-based identifiers.

Who Processes Your Data

We rely on a small number of third-party providers to run this site: a hosting provider, an analytics provider, and a web font provider. They process data only on our instructions and for the purposes described above, and none of them is permitted to use it for their own purposes. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data.

Some of these providers may process data outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area. Where that happens, the transfer is covered by the safeguards required under applicable data protection law.

If you would like to know exactly which providers we use, we will tell you — just ask, using the contact details below.

Data Retention

We keep correspondence only for as long as it is useful to the conversation it belongs to, and delete it on request. Analytics data is retained by our analytics provider in aggregate form and contains nothing that identifies you individually.

Your Rights

If you are in the UK or the European Economic Area, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to our processing of it. In practice the only personal data we hold is whatever you have sent us directly. To exercise any of these rights, email hello@joemaule.com and we will action it.

Third‑Party Links

Links to external sites (e.g., YouTube, LinkedIn) are provided for your convenience. We have no control over and are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

Data Security

The site is served over HTTPS. We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Any changes will be posted here with a revised “Last Updated” date.
