What this site collects, and what it does not.

01The short version

The Fit Check runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are not sent anywhere unless you type an email address and press the button asking me to send them to you.

I count anonymous usage so I can tell which pages are worth keeping. No cookies, no advertising networks, no attempt to work out who you are, and your IP address is never stored.

If you send me a message or a partner enquiry, I keep it so I can reply to you. That is the whole point of it.

02The Workflow Fit Check

The Fit Check is five questions and a result. All of it happens in your browser: the questions, the scoring, and the answer you read.

Your answers never leave your device unless you choose to send them.

That choice is the email box underneath the result. If you fill it in and press the button, your email address, your five answers, and the result are sent to me so I can put the same thing in your inbox. If you close the tab instead, nothing about your workflow was ever transmitted, and I have no way of knowing what you answered.

This is deliberate. Showing you the answer before asking for anything is the same principle the systems I build run on.

03Anonymous usage measurement

I measure how this site is used, because otherwise I am guessing about which writing is worth doing. It is a deliberately small amount of information, recorded on my own server rather than handed to an advertising company.

What is recorded

• Which page was viewed, and when
• That a Fit Check was started, how far through it got, and which of the three results it produced
• Which workflow category was chosen, for example scheduling or follow-up. Never the reasoning behind it, because the site never receives that
• Whether a button was clicked, such as booking a call or opening the pricing section
• Whether you arrived from a link I published, and which one, using the tracking tag in the address
• Whether the screen was phone-sized or desktop-sized
• A random number that ties one visit together, generated fresh each visit and discarded when you close the tab
• Whether the visit came from automated software, or from a browser I have marked as my own, so that my own testing is not counted as a visitor

What is never recorded

• Your IP address. The server that receives these events is written so that it does not log it
• Cookies. None are set, so there is no banner to dismiss
• Any identifier that survives your visit or follows you to another website. The only thing this site can leave on your device is the yes-or-no marker described below, and it is set only if you ask for it
• Your Fit Check answers, unless you explicitly email them to yourself
• Names, email addresses, or anything else that could identify you

If you would rather not be counted

This site checks for Global Privacy Control and the older Do Not Track setting before it records anything. If your browser sends either signal, no usage events are sent at all, and the site works exactly the same. You do not have to ask me, and you do not have to trust that I honoured it, because the check happens in your browser before anything is transmitted.

There is a second, weaker switch, and I am describing it because it is the only thing this site can store on your device. Adding ?qa=1 to the end of any page address here saves a single yes-or-no marker in your browser. It holds nothing about you and is never sent anywhere. From then on the anonymous events described above are still sent, but each one carries a flag saying "this is not a visitor", and they are left out of every report I read. It exists so that my own testing does not turn up in my numbers as if it were you.

?qa=0 removes the marker. If what you want is for nothing to be transmitted at all, use Global Privacy Control above instead.

04When you contact me

The contact form, the partner enquiry form, and the Fit Check email button all send what you typed to my inbox through a form-delivery service called Web3Forms. That means your name, email address, and message, plus whatever you chose to tell me about your business.

I keep those messages so I can reply and, if we end up working together, so I have a record of what you originally asked for.

I do not sell them or pass them to anyone else. If you gave me your email address, I may use it to follow up on what you asked about and to send occasional things worth knowing about this kind of work. Every one of those carries an unsubscribe link, and one click is enough — you never have to email me to get off the list. If you want a message deleted, ask me and I will delete it.

05Other companies involved

A short and complete list of every third party this site touches, and why.

There are no advertising trackers, no analytics suites, no session recorders, and no social media pixels on this site.

06How long things are kept

• Messages and enquiries: kept while there is a reason to, then deleted on request at any time
• Usage events: kept for 12 months, then deleted. They are anonymous, so they cannot be traced back to you either way

07Your choices

• Turn on Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track and no usage events are sent
• Use the Fit Check without the email box and nothing about your workflow reaches me
• Email me and ask what I hold about you, and I will tell you
• Email me and ask me to delete it, and I will

Requests go to bryan@perseidechocreations.com. One person reads that inbox, so you will get an actual answer rather than a ticket number.

08Children

This is a site selling business services. It is not intended for children, and I do not knowingly collect anything from them.

09Changes

If I change what is collected, I will change this page and move the date at the top. I am not going to quietly start collecting more and leave the old text up.
