What we collect

• Analytics: aggregated usage data (pages viewed, referrer, device type, approximate country) via Cloudflare Web Analytics. Cloudflare states that this service does not use cookies or local storage to track visitors.
• Server and security logs: our host, Cloudflare, processes technical data such as IP addresses to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.
• Messages you send us: if you email us, we receive your email address and message and use them only to reply and to keep a record of the request.
• No accounts, no newsletter, no comments. This site currently has no sign-up forms.

Cookies

We do not set advertising or analytics cookies. If we add partner links or any tool that sets non-essential cookies, we will add a consent option where the law requires it and update this page first.

Links to other sites

Official and partner sites we link to have their own privacy policies.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (e.g. GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, Japan APPI) you may request access, correction, deletion, or objection. Write to hello@marginsandmaps.com. We do not sell or share personal data for advertising.

Retention & transfers

We keep emails for as long as needed to handle your request, and delete them within 24 months of our last exchange unless we must keep them longer to meet a legal obligation. Analytics data is retained by Cloudflare as described in its own policies. Our providers (Cloudflare for hosting, analytics, and email forwarding; our email service provider for reading forwarded mail) may process data outside your country. Where the law requires, we rely on the safeguards these providers offer, such as standard contractual clauses in their data processing terms.
