Privacy PolicyHow I collect and use information on my personal blog, joshfridey.com.

Hi, I’m Josh Fridey. This site is my personal blog where I share my IT knowledge, projects, and ideas. It’s just me running things here, but I still want you to know how your information is handled when you visit.

Information I Collect

Personal Information

If you choose to reach out—like through a contact form or newsletter signup—you might share things such as:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number
• Mailing address

I only have this information if you decide to give it to me.

Non-Personal Information

Like most websites, I automatically collect some general details when you visit, including:

• IP address
• Browser type
• Pages visited on my site
• Referring website
• Date and time of your visit

This helps me understand how people use the site so I can improve it.

How Your Information Is Used

I use the information I collect to:

• Respond to messages or requests
• Share updates if you subscribe to a newsletter
• Improve the website and its content

I don’t sell or rent your personal information. If I use third-party services (like email newsletters or analytics), they only get the minimum data needed to provide that service, and they’re expected to protect it.

Cookies

This site uses cookies to make browsing smoother and to see how the site is being used. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Just know that some parts of the site may not work as well without them.

Data Security

I take reasonable steps to keep your information safe, including using HTTPS so data sent between your browser and this site is encrypted.

Third-Party Links

Sometimes I may link to other sites, like resources, blogs, or social platforms. I’m not responsible for what they do with your information, so it’s a good idea to check their privacy policies.

Policy Updates

I may update this Privacy Policy occasionally if things change (like new features on the site). The updated version will always be posted here with a new “Last Updated” date.
