This page explains what happens to information when you visit TheStatusQ. It is written to be read rather than to be technically survivable, so if anything here is unclear, ask and we will explain it.
What we collect
We do not ask you to create an account and we do not sell anything on this site. Information reaches us in two ways.
- Things you send us. If you use a contact or signup form, we receive what you typed into it, usually an email address and a message.
- Things your browser sends automatically. Standard web analytics record which pages were opened, roughly where in the world the visit came from, what kind of device was used, and how visitors move through the page.
Analytics and session activity
This site uses Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use it. That tool records page views and general interaction patterns such as scrolling and clicking. It is used to work out which parts of the site are useful and which are being ignored.
We do not use it to identify individual people, and we do not combine it with anything else to build a profile of you. If you would rather not be included, most browsers offer a do-not-track setting, and browser privacy extensions block this kind of script.
Cookies
Analytics tools of this kind set cookies or similar identifiers so a returning visit is not counted twice. You can clear or block them in your browser settings at any time. Nothing on this site stops working if you do.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your information to anyone.
- We do not send marketing email to an address you gave us for a different purpose.
- We do not knowingly collect information from children.
How long we keep things
Messages you send are kept as long as the conversation is useful, then deleted. Analytics data is kept on the analytics provider's standard retention schedule and is not exported or archived by us.
Your choices
You can ask what information we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. Write to hello@thestatusq.io and we will respond within thirty days. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under your local privacy law, and we will honour those on request whether or not the law formally applies to us.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes with it.
