Privacy policy.

How this site handles your data, in plain language.

Last updated: October 2026

01The site

What this site is.

This is a personal website. It has no accounts, no sign-up forms and no advertising.

It is hosted on Vercel. As with any web host, Vercel handles technical request data, such as your IP address, to deliver pages and keep the service secure.

02Analytics

Counting visits, not people.

I use Vercel Web Analytics to see which pages are read. According to Vercel, it does not use cookies, and visitors are identified only by a hash created from the incoming request, not tracked across other sites.

  • Recorded: the page visited, where the visit came from, and coarse device and browser details.
  • Used for: aggregate numbers, such as which pages are read most.
  • Not collected: names, email addresses, or any other personal details.

03Cookies

Cookies and local storage.

This site does not set cookies, so there is no cookie banner.

An earlier version of the site stored a cookie-consent choice and a log of page visits in your browser's localStorage. Nothing from it was ever sent to me. You can clear it from your browser settings if you like.

04Other services

Third parties and links.

  • Book covers. The Library and Now pages load cover images from Open Library and, for some titles, Google Books. Your browser requests those images directly, so those services can see your IP address and browser details under their own policies.
  • Affiliate links. Some links to Amazon are affiliate links. If you buy through one, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
  • Bookings and social links. Calendly, Amazon, WhatsApp and social platforms are separate services with their own privacy policies. They only come into play if you follow a link to them.

05Messages

If you write to me.

If you email me, message me on WhatsApp, or book a call, I receive what you send. I use it only to reply and to arrange the conversation.

06Your choices

Questions and requests.

You can ask what I hold about you, or ask me to delete it. Write to contact@charlesmfouapon.com.
