Privacy

I collect as little as I can

I run ReadyLience to gather as little personal data as it can get away with. I name each service I turn on here, explain why it is used, and leave a control in your hands where one exists.

Email and contact

If you subscribe to ReadyLience Field Notes, MailerLite processes your email address, subscription status, consent record, and the limited delivery or engagement data needed to send the email, manage unsubscribes, prevent abuse, and diagnose delivery problems. The form uses single opt-in with an explicit consent checkbox. I keep active subscription details while you remain subscribed; after an unsubscribe, minimal suppression information may remain so I can honor that choice. You can ask about your subscription data, or request deletion where applicable, at patrick@readylience.com.

Anything you send directly to me — your contact details and message — is used to reply, run the publication, and deal with a genuine safety or legal concern. Nothing more.

Analytics

ReadyLience uses Google Analytics 4 only after you choose “Accept analytics.” Google then receives standard visit information such as the pages viewed, referring page, browser and device details, and approximate location. I use it to understand which guides are useful and where the site needs work. You can decline when the choice appears, or reopen it through “Privacy choices” in the footer.

Affiliate measurement

No affiliate links, advertising pixels, or affiliate measurement tools are active today. If that changes, I will update this page and the Affiliate Disclosure before any of those tools go live.
