Most people don’t read privacy policies. That’s not surprising given many of them are difficult to understand, too long, and inaccessible for many reasons. The Data Curious Privacy Policy is written for you, to be read and understood by you. If you have feedback on it, please contact us at hello@datacurious.org.

What data do you collect?

We use Prismic for content management and Vercel to host Data Curious but we do not use them for web analytics. Instead, we use Fathom, a web analytics tool that does not use cookies or trackers or store any personal data[1]. We customized the settings to collect basic data:

• IP address
• Type of device you used to look at our site (e.g. mobile, desktop, tablet)
• Posts browsed (which articles and/or pages were viewed)
• Timestamp (time and day a page was clicked on)

We use Tally for our Ask A Question form. Tally provides the form service and we, as the form collector, are responsible for the form responses. In other words, the information you share on that form is only accessible by the Data Curious team. We chose Tally because we have full control of the information we collect, store and manage. 

Emails to hello@datacurious.org get forwarded to datacurious-contact@goodresearch.com. The Data Curious team has access to emails sent to this address. 

What do you use the data for?

• Web analytics data helps us understand how many visitors we get and what posts and pages on the site are the most popular. 
• Data from the Ask A Question form is used to inform us of what you want us to know. 
• We do not use your data for ads or profit, nor do we ever track you around the web or create a profile for you.

Do you sell or share personal data with other parties?

No.

Is there anything I can do about this policy?

If at any point in time, for any reason, you want us to remove any data pertaining to you, you are welcome to reach out to us at hello@datacurious.org with a removal request.
