Privacy policy

Who I am

This is the personal website of Ed Goodman, based in St Ives, Cambridgeshire. I’m responsible for any personal information this site handles. If you have a question about it, email [email protected].

What this site collects

Very little. There are no contact forms, no newsletter sign-ups, no comment boxes, and no analytics or advertising trackers.

Like almost every website, the server keeps standard technical logs (things like your IP address, browser type and the pages you visited) so the site can run and stay secure. These are kept for a short time and aren’t used to identify you.

Other companies involved

A few services help the site work, and they see some technical information when you visit:

• My hosting provider runs the server the site lives on.
• Cloudflare sits in front of the site to keep it fast and block attacks. It processes your IP address to do that.
• Google Fonts supplies the typefaces. When your browser fetches them, it sends your IP address to Google.

Cookies

The site doesn’t set tracking cookies. WordPress only sets cookies if someone logs in to manage the site, and that’s just me.

If you email me

I’ll use your email address and whatever you send me to reply to you, and nothing else. I won’t add you to a mailing list or pass your details on. I keep emails only as long as the conversation is useful.

Links to other sites

This site links to places like YouTube, Spotify, LinkedIn, TikTok, Bluesky and Threads. Once you click through, their privacy policies apply, not this one.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask what information I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. Just email me. If you’re unhappy with how I’ve handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Changes

If anything here changes, I’ll update this page. Last updated 31 October 2026.
