Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 14, 2026
Hello! This is the privacy policy for chrisbarrowonline. I believe in a fast, private web, which is why this site is designed to collect as little data as possible.
1. Information I Collect
I only collect information that you voluntarily provide:
- Email Address: Collected only when you subscribe to my newsletter.
- Communication: If you contact me directly, I will have your email address and the content of your message.
2. How I Use Your Information
I use your email address strictly to:
- Send you updates when I publish new blog posts.
- Verify your subscription via a "double opt-in" process to ensure you actually want to be on the list.
- Manage your "unsubscribe" requests.
I will never sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes.
3. Third-Party Services
To keep this site running, I use a few trusted services:
- Azure (Microsoft): Your email address is stored securely in Azure Table Storage.
- Resend: I use this service to physically send the emails to your inbox.
- Hosting: The site is hosted on Azure Static Web Apps.
4. Cookies
This site does not use tracking, advertising, or "third-party" cookies. I may use "strictly necessary" technical cookies to remember your language preference (English/Spanish) or your dark/light mode theme. These do not track you across the web.
5. Your Rights
You are in control of your data. At any time, you can:
- Unsubscribe: Every email I send contains a clear "Unsubscribe" link.
- Request Deletion: If you'd like your data wiped from my database entirely, just send me an email and I'll handle it manually.
6. Contact Me
If you have any questions about this policy or your data, feel free to reach out through the contact form on the About page.
