privacy policy
effective date: 7/18/2025

this privacy policy explains how www.clarkogier.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your personal information. by visiting or using this website, you agree to the terms outlined below. if you do not agree, please do not use this site. we take your privacy seriously—legally, ethically, and existentially.

🧠 what we collect

when you visit this site, we may collect the following data:

  • your ip address

  • your browser type and device info

  • the pages you visit and time spent on each

  • referring site or search engine

  • cookies and similar tracking technologies

  • information you voluntarily provide (like your name/email via a form or newsletter signup)

🍪 cookies (not the tasty kind)

yes, we use cookies. not the chewy chocolate chip kind—the code-y kind that help websites remember stuff. here’s what they do:

  • analyze site traffic

  • understand user behavior

  • remember your preferences

  • occasionally help with marketing analytics

you can disable cookies in your browser settings if that makes you feel better. just know that doing so might make the site look like it’s stuck in 1998.

📬 how we use your data

your data may be used to:

  • improve site performance and user experience

  • monitor and analyze usage metrics

  • send you updates or newsletters (only if you opt in)

  • comply with legal obligations or protect against fraud

we do not sell your data. seriously. gross.

🛠️ third-party tools we might use

we may use third-party services like:

  • google analytics

  • substack (for newsletter management)

  • other tools for SEO, website traffic, and email automation

these platforms may collect and store data according to their own privacy policies, which you can read if you're into that kind of thing.

🔒 data security

we use reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect your information. nothing online is 100% secure, but we try hard to keep your data safe from hackers, creeps, and digital chaos.

🌍 your rights

depending on where you live (hello gdpr, ccpa, and other acronyms), you may have the right to:

  • access the data we have about you

  • request corrections or deletions

  • opt out of marketing or data sharing

  • file a complaint with a supervisory authority if you feel like it

to make any of these requests, email: hello@clarkogier.com

🚫 do not track signals

some browsers have a “do not track” setting. we don’t currently respond to those signals, because there’s no universal standard (yet). but we’re not tracking you for sport, promise.

🔄 changes to this policy

we might update this privacy policy from time to time. when we do, we’ll update the “effective date” at the top. check back occasionally if you care about that kind of thing.
