Privacy Policy

Last updated on January 6, 2024

This policy to applies to gregoryhammond.ca and doesn’t apply to any other website made by Gregory Hammond, his company, or any companies he works (or used to) work for.

Where possible, I try to use HTTPS to protect your privacy.

This site does not have any analytics. The company running the data centre and selling me the hosting may have their own logs (such as recording bandwidth usage and preventing DDOS attacks) which I have no control over.

There will never be paywalls on this site. Any ads will clearly be labelled and text-based.

The website will store a cache of the pages you visit, in your browser, for about one week and a day, unless you choose to delete it. This is to lessen the load on my server. I cannot access that cache in your browser.

Some links may be affiliate links, they will clearly be labelled with the words affiliate link in brackets beside the link. This helps to pay for the website and provide some side income.

There may be links to third-party sites, I’m not responsible for anything that goes on while you are on those sites. Please read over the privacy policy of each website to see what they track about you.

If you use the social media share buttons at the bottom of each blog post, no information is stored about by me about it. Each of those sites have their own privacy policy.

I may embed content into a page or post on this site, that embed content acts the same way as if you were to visit the website itself. If you don’t want any embed content to show, consider using a browser addon like Noscript.

I do keep track of any 404 pages, for a week. But I don’t keep any IP information regarding the 404.

I reserve the right to block anything or one that is being abusive or using up server resources (this includes but isn’t limited to repetitive 404 pages). This includes website crawlers, bots, or anything else that automatically looks at this website. These will be blocked in the robots.txt (and potentially other ways). If you do get blocked at some time and wish to appeal, you can email hello@gregoryhammond.ca, include blocked in the subject line, and explain why you should be unblocked.

There may be images placed on this site.

If you are interested in where I host my stuff, you can see my data jurisdiction statement.
