This is a personal website. I'm not trying to collect your data, sell your information, or track you around the internet. You can find someone else to do that.
That said, here's what happens when you visit this site, so you know exactly what's going on.
Analytics
I use Umami, a privacy-focused analytics tool, to understand basic traffic patterns. This includes things like which pages are popular and where visitors come from. Umami does not use cookies, does not collect personal information, and does not track you across websites. All data is aggregated and anonymous. I can't identify individual visitors, and I wouldn't want to.
Newsletter Signup
If you subscribe to the newsletter, I do need to collect your email address. Your email is stored securely and is only used to send you updates about this site. I won't sell, trade, or rent your email to anyone. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Cookies
This site does not use tracking cookies. The only data stored in your browser is your light/dark theme preference via localStorage, which never leaves your device.
Third-Party Links
This site links to external websites (LinkedIn, Google Scholar, project sites, etc). I'm not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Once you leave grantgenzman.com, their policies apply.
Affiliate Links
Some book links on this site are Amazon affiliate links. If you purchase through them, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This doesn't affect which books I recommend — I only share books that I believe you will find valuable.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect information from anyone under that age.
Data Sharing
I don't sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties. The only exception could be if legally required to do so, which seems unlikely for a personal blog.
Your Rights
You can request to see or delete any personal data I have. Realistically, this would just be your name and email if you subscribed to the newsletter. Reach out via LinkedIn and I'll take care of it.
Changes
If this policy changes, I'll update it here.

If you have questions about any of this, please reach out via LinkedIn.
