What this page covers
It covers the website, episode pages, on-site search, the weekly email signup, and links out to listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
Information we collect
Weekly email
If you sign up, we store your email, the page you signed up on, the date, and a scrambled code made from your internet address. We use that code only to stop spam sign-ups. We do not store the raw address for that check. We email you once to confirm. If you do not confirm, we will not send the weekly note.
Optional analytics
If you allow Measurement cookies, Google Analytics 4 may collect online identifiers and events such as page views and clicks on listen links. Measurement stays off until you Accept all or turn it on in Customize.
Hosting and security
Cloudflare runs the site and the newsletter database. It may process IP addresses and request metadata as needed to host and protect the service. Cloudflare keeps request logs and edge data under its standard retention for our plan; see Cloudflare's privacy policy. We are self-hosting site fonts and Alpine.js so those assets stop loading from Google Fonts and unpkg.
Categories and sources
We collect identifiers (your email if you subscribe), internet activity (pages and listen-link clicks if you allow Measurement), and technical data our host needs (such as IP addresses in server logs).
We get this from you (email signup), from your browser when you use the site, and from our service providers (Cloudflare, Mailgun, and Google if you Accept Measurement or press Play on a YouTube video).
Legal bases
When the EU GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on your consent for optional analytics. We rely on legitimate interests to host and secure the site and to send email you asked for. We rely on legal obligation when the law requires us to keep a record.
Companies that help us run the site
We share personal information with service providers who host the site, send email, and (only after you Accept) measure visits. Pressing Play on a YouTube video sends data to Google under Google's terms.
| Company | Role | Data | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Hosting and newsletter database | IP and request metadata; subscriber rows | Cloudflare's standard retention; see Cloudflare's privacy policy |
| Google Analytics 4 | Optional analytics after Accept | Identifiers, page URLs, events | Set in our Google Analytics account; see Google's Analytics data retention help |
| Google YouTube | Episode video after you press Play | IP and playback data; Google may set cookies if you are signed into Google | Per Google |
| Mailgun (Sinch) | Confirm email and weekly note | Email, message content, delivery events | Mailgun's standard retention; see Mailgun's privacy policy |
Cookies and similar tools
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We also use browser storage for your light or dark theme. Non-essential measurement cookies load only after you Accept all or allow Measurement in Customize. Necessary tools keep the site working. For names, providers, durations, and purposes, see the Cookie Policy.
Change your mind anytime with Your privacy choices in the site footer, or set Global Privacy Control in a browser that supports it. We treat Global Privacy Control as Reject all for optional measurement until you make a new choice.
How we use information
- Run and secure the show website
- Send the weekly email you asked for
- Stop spam and abuse
- Understand which episodes and listen links people use (only with analytics Accept)
- Meet legal duties when they apply
Sale and sharing
We do not sell personal information for money. We do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising as California law defines that term. Optional Google Analytics runs only after you allow Measurement. You can opt out with Reject all, Your privacy choices, or Global Privacy Control.
How long we keep information
Newsletter subscribers stay until you unsubscribe. After that we keep the email marked as unsubscribed so we don't mail you again by mistake. A confirm link works for 7 days. Your cookie choice lives only in the cc_cookie browser cookie for 182 days. We don't keep a separate server-side record of it. Optional Google Analytics 4 (property G-LKLTF3DW85) runs only after you allow Measurement. How long Google keeps that data is set in our Google Analytics account and can change; see Google's Analytics data retention help. Cloudflare keeps request logs and edge data under its standard retention; see Cloudflare's privacy policy. Mailgun keeps message and delivery data under its standard retention; see Mailgun's privacy policy.
Marketing email
The weekly email is marketing email you signed up for. Every message has an unsubscribe link. You can also email hello@webtalk.show to ask us to stop.
Security
We use HTTPS and rely on Cloudflare to help protect the site. We limit who on our team can see the newsletter list.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or get a portable copy of your information; to withdraw consent; to limit certain uses; to opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising; and to complain to us or to a privacy authority. We won't treat you worse for asking.
To make a request, email hello@webtalk.show with your name, the email you used, and what you want. We may need to confirm it's you. We aim to answer within 45 days, or within one month if EU or UK law applies.
UK visitors may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). In Canada, you may complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, and in Quebec to the Commission d'accès à l'information.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13. If we learn we collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it. Email hello@webtalk.show.
International transfers
We process personal information in the United States. Our service providers include US companies such as Google, Mailgun, and Cloudflare. Transfers to the United States may use safeguards such as standard contractual clauses offered by our providers. Ask us if you need details.
Do Not Track
We don't respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. We do honor Global Privacy Control for optional measurement.
Other websites
Links to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and other sites go to services with their own privacy policies. We don't control those sites.
Changes
If we change this page in a meaningful way, we will update the date at the top.
