Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 September 2026

This policy covers the website at steveharrison.dev, operated by Steve Harrison, an individual developer based in Australia.

My macOS apps each have their own privacy policy:

Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages people visit and which links they click. This sets cookies in your browser and sends Google information such as your approximate location, browser, device type, and the pages you view. I use this only in aggregate, to see what is worth writing more of.

I never see your name or email address through analytics. If you would rather not be counted, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, use your browser's tracking protection, or block the script. Nothing on this site depends on analytics working. Google's handling of this data is covered by Google's privacy policy.

If you choose to subscribe to the newsletter, your email address is submitted to and stored by Buttondown, which sends the emails on my behalf. I use your address only to send you new articles. I do not sell it, rent it, or share it with anyone else. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing removes you from the list.

Hosting and embedded content

Like most websites, the server hosting this site may keep standard access logs, including IP addresses, for security and reliability. Some pages embed content from third parties such as YouTube or link to external sites; those providers have their own privacy policies, and this policy does not cover them.

Your rights

You can ask me what personal information I hold about you, ask me to correct it, and ask me to delete it. In practice the only personal information I hold directly is a newsletter email address, if you gave me one. Email me and I will action any request. If you are in the EU or UK, or anywhere else with equivalent data protection law, the same applies to you.

Some of the services above, including Google Analytics and Buttondown, are based overseas, so information collected through them may be stored or processed outside Australia.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, I will update the date at the top of this page.
