Privacy

What this site collects, why, and how to get rid of it. Written in plain language rather than legal boilerplate. "We" is Charged & Hungry, run from Washington State.

What we collect

Two things, neither stored by us. Google Analytics counts visits; and if you subscribe, your email address sits with the newsletter provider under our account. There is no account, no comment box and no contact form.

EMAILOnly if you subscribe to episode alerts. The address goes to Kit (kit.com), which sends the emails and asks you to confirm before adding you. As with any web form, Kit also sees your IP address and browser when you submit. Unsubscribing stops the emails; the record stays until you ask us to delete it. We can see the list; we do not export or share it.Until you ask us to delete itANALYTICSGoogle Analytics, on the live site only. It records page views, scrolls, clicks out to YouTube and Amazon (for Amazon, which product), and a newsletter sign-up as an event, and it sets Google's cookies to tell one visit from the next. It sends your IP address to Google; Google does not show it to us.Google keeps the detail for two months; the counts stay in our reportsTHEME CHOICEIf you pick light or dark, the choice is kept in your browser's local storage. It never leaves your device.Until you clear it

Amazon links

Product links carry an Amazon Associates tag so Amazon knows the visit came from here. Once you are on amazon.com, Amazon's own cookies and privacy notice apply, not ours. We never see who clicked: Amazon's reports show us totals, clicks and items ordered, never names.

Product photos are loaded from Amazon's image servers, so Amazon sees a request from your browser whenever a page shows one: the gear index, a gear page, or an episode or recipe that lists gear.

Hosting

The site is a static build hosted on AWS Amplify, Amazon's hosting arm, which is why Amazon appears twice on this page. The host may keep standard access logs (IP address, page requested, time) for operating the service; we do not read them.

Your rights

Nothing about you is held on this site. For episode alerts: the unsubscribe link in every email stops the emails, and your record stays in Kit until we delete it. Ask through the channels on the contact page and we will delete it.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS

Ask through the channels on the Contact page. There is no contact form and no published address, which is itself a privacy decision — nothing to collect and nothing to leak.
