Privacy overview

Publication owner and contact

The site is owned by Adam Smith. Owner contact details to be confirmed before public launch Add a verified public contact address before the website is promoted publicly; the placeholder is intentionally centralised in site/config so it can be replaced once without rewriting every legal page.

Information the site may process

Basic server logs can include IP address, device information, requested URL and time of access. If analytics or affiliate tracking is enabled, additional identifiers may be processed by their providers.

Analytics and consent

Google Analytics 4 uses measurement ID G-98FP8J91KB and is loaded only after a visitor selects Accept analytics in the site's consent banner. A Decline choice keeps the analytics scripts disabled; the preference is stored in the browser under a first-party key. The guide does not require analytics consent to read pages, use navigation or follow an outbound link.

The analytics vendor, hosting log retention, lawful basis, international-transfer position, data-subject request route and deletion periods must be confirmed for the owner's operating jurisdiction before public launch. Do not treat this notice as jurisdiction-specific legal advice.

Third-party destinations

When you follow an outbound link, the destination controls its own account, payment and verification data. Review its privacy notice before submitting personal information.

Launch requirement

Before a production marketing campaign begins, the owner must replace the contact placeholder, confirm the legal entity, retention periods, analytics vendors, lawful bases and rights procedure applicable to the operating jurisdiction.
