Like most websites, this site and its service providers automatically collect certain technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and the site that referred you. This information is collected through server logs, cookies, and similar technologies.
How I use information

- To display advertising that helps keep this site free
I do not sell your contact information to anyone.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. This site uses cookies for basic functionality, analytics, and advertising. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some parts of the site may not work as intended.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
This site uses Google AdSense to display ads. Google and other third-party vendors use cookies to show ads based on your previous visits to this site and other websites. Google’s advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

This site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site. Google Analytics collects information such as pages visited and general location (city or country level). You can prevent Google Analytics from using your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Third-party services and links
This site links to and works with third-party services, including:
- Pinterest, where cheat sheets are shared
- Gumroad, which processes purchases of digital products. When you buy a product, your payment and order information is handled by Gumroad under its own privacy policy. I do not receive or store your full payment card details.

These services have their own privacy policies, and I am not responsible for their practices. Please review their policies before sharing information with them.
How long I keep information
I keep contact messages only as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record-keeping, and then delete them. Analytics and advertising data are retained according to the settings and policies of the providers above.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information I hold about you, or to object to certain uses of it. Visitors in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom have these rights under the GDPR. Some U.S. state laws, including in California, may treat advertising cookies as “selling” or “sharing” personal information; you can limit this through the ad settings links above or your browser’s privacy controls.
To make a request, email contact@smartdeskguide.com. I will respond within a reasonable time.
Children’s privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA and UK), and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent me personal information, please contact me and I will delete it.
Security
I take reasonable steps to protect information, including using a secure (HTTPS) connection. However, no method of transmission or storage on the internet is completely secure.
Changes to this policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
