Overview

Creative Mind Habits respects your privacy. This policy explains what data this site collects, why, and how it's handled.

Information We Collect

Email addresses. When you join the newsletter, we collect your email address so we can send you what you signed up for.

Analytics. We use analytics to see aggregate traffic: pages visited, general location from your IP, and which links get clicked. This isn't tied to your name or email. We also keep our own daily tally of a few clicks, like downloads and the Ko-fi link: just the click's name and a number per day, nothing about who clicked.

Vibe check. If you buy a vibe check, Stripe processes the payment. I see your name, email, your app's link and anything you write in the form, and use them only to make and send your vibe check. Your card details stay with Stripe.

Tips. If you buy me a slice on Ko-fi, Ko-fi runs the page and Stripe or PayPal processes the payment. I see the name and any message you choose to leave, and your payment details stay with them.

How We Use Your Information

• To send you what you signed up for (newsletter issues)
• To understand which posts and resources are actually useful, so future work can be more of what helps
• We do not use your email for advertising

Third-Party Services

This site relies on a few outside services to run:

• EmailOctopus: powers newsletter signup and delivery
• Stripe: processes payments for the vibe check
• Ko-fi: hosts the tip page; tips are paid through Stripe or PayPal
• Vercel Analytics and Cloudflare: anonymous traffic and performance data
• Supabase: stores the daily click tallies (counts only)
• Hetzner: hosts our own copy of the daily click tallies (counts only; no logs of who clicked)
• Google Fonts and Hugeicons: deliver the typefaces and icons used on this site; loading them means your browser contacts those services directly

Each of these has its own privacy policy governing how it handles data.

Kindle Screensavers

The screensaver personalization tool on the Kindle Screensavers page runs entirely in your browser. If you type in a name to personalize a design, that name is drawn onto the image locally and never leaves your device. Nothing is uploaded or stored anywhere.

Data Storage

Email addresses are stored securely with the providers listed above. We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Your Rights

You can unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link in any email we send. You can also contact us to request deletion of your data.

Cookies

This site stores your light/dark theme preference in your browser's local storage. Analytics providers may use cookies for basic traffic measurement. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.
