Argh! My Privacy!

Me in a Santa Clause hat with Mickey Mouse ears, a KN95 mask, and a gray privacy bar digitally imposed across my eyes. An Andy Anaheim plushie smiles in the background.

Samwoodfin.net is owned and maintained by Sharonda “Sam” Woodfin.

This is a publicly-accessible web site with an invitation-only membership feature. Only members may leave comments on posts.

If you aren't a member of samwoodfin.net, you have little to worry about in terms of this site violating your privacy. I don't store personally identifiable information on non-member visitors to the site. And if you aren't a member of samwoodfin.net, the site won't serve you cookies.

Plausible Analytics

Traffic data for this site are collected through Plausible Analytics.

According to Plausible:

...all the site measurement is carried out absolutely anonymously. Cookies are not set and no personal data is collected. All data is in aggregate only.

jsDelivr

According to Ghostery's free tracker and ad blocker extension, this site also makes use of jsDelivr's CDN. According to Jannis Fedoruk-Betschki, the fellow who runs Magic Pages (where this site is hosted):

Out of the box, Ghost uses a specialised CDN named jsDelivr to serve certain static files for features like the membership portal and Ghost's search functionality. When your site makes a call to jsDelivr, it transmits the user's IP address to fetch the necessary files.

You can read jsDelivr's Terms & Policies for yourself. If you're interested, you may also want to read How the German court’s ruling on Google Fonts affects jsDelivr and why it is safe to use from the jsDelivr blog.

The jsDelivr CDN is a part of Ghost (the content management system upon which this site is built). I don't have the technical know-how to remove and replace it. I wish that I did have that know-how, whether or not replacing jsDelivr would be the right move.[1]

NOTES

  1. I also have frustration-born opinions on how, while providing needed protections to the general public, privacy laws restrict the speech of people with less technical knowledge and less legal knowledge and without the funds to hire others to apply those knowledges for them, ultimately ensuring a privacy-killing, profit-driven, social-media-or-bust internet landscape. Wanna hear about that? Probably not! ↩︎
