Privacy Policy


I take user privacy seriously. I support organisations like the EFF and Mozilla as they work to protect the liberties of people online. It would be hypocritical of me to not uphold these values myself.

Below you can find a summary of all the user data I am aware of handling. If you would like to dig deeper, keep reading to find further details of each app and service.
