This policy explains what Outlier Creator collects when you visit, why, and what you can do about it. It is written in plain English on purpose.
Outlier Creator is operated by Balle Solutions LLC. You can reach me at partners@eddyballe.com.
The short version
There are no accounts on this site. There is no newsletter and no signup form. I do not sell data, I do not run advertising networks, and I do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any similar tracking product.
What is actually collected
Analytics
This site uses the analytics built into Ghost, the publishing platform it runs on. It records aggregate page views, referrer, approximate country, and general device type. It uses a value stored in your browser's local storage rather than a tracking cookie, and it does not follow you to other websites.
Server logs
The hosting provider keeps standard web server logs, which include IP addresses, for security and abuse prevention. These are retained for a limited period and are not used to build a profile of you.
If you email me, I have your email address and whatever you wrote. I keep it as long as needed to reply and to keep a record of the conversation.
What is not collected
- No newsletter list. There is no signup form anywhere on this site.
- No accounts, logins, or member profiles.
- No comments, so no comment data.
- No payment information. Nothing is sold directly on this site.
- No advertising or retargeting pixels.
Third parties that load on this site
A handful of services are involved in serving the pages you see:
- Ghost and its hosting provider deliver the site and store the content.
- Cloudflare sits in front of the site as a content delivery network and security layer.
- Bunny Fonts serves the typefaces. It is used specifically because it does not log visitors or set cookies.
- cdnjs serves one small open source script used for image colour handling.
- Embedded videos. Some articles embed YouTube. When you load a page with an embed, YouTube may set its own cookies and receive your IP address. That is governed by Google's privacy policy, not this one.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one, the destination company may set a cookie to record that the referral came from here. That cookie belongs to them and is described in their own privacy policy. I receive commission reports from those programs. Those reports tell me a sale happened, not who you are.
The full details are on the Affiliate and Earnings Disclaimer page.
Cookies and local storage
This site sets very little on its own. Ghost stores an analytics identifier in local storage. Some interface state, such as dismissing a sidebar card, is stored for the length of your browsing session and then discarded.
You can block or clear cookies and local storage in your browser at any time. Nothing on this site will stop working if you do.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request a copy of any personal data held about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, or object to how it is processed. Residents of the EU and UK have these rights under GDPR. California residents have comparable rights under the CCPA, including the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them.
Because this site holds almost nothing about individual visitors, most requests will be short conversations. Email partners@eddyballe.com and I will respond within 30 days.
I do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13 and I do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has sent me personal information, email me and I will delete it.
International visitors
This site is operated from the United States. If you visit from elsewhere, the data described above is processed in the United States and in whatever regions the providers listed above operate.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes with it. Continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the current version.
