Privacy Policy

The same honesty we bring to teaching, we bring to your data. Here's what we collect, why, and how we protect it — in plain language, not legalese.

As it stands today: the Institute has no accounts, no forms switched on, and no analytics installed — so there is currently nothing for us to collect beyond the standard server logs our host keeps. This page describes both that reality and what we commit to if any of it changes.

The short version

We collect as little as possible, we use it only to teach you better, we never sell it, and we tell you plainly what happens. If you only ever read the Library, we don't need anything from you at all.

What we collect

What we do with it

We use what you give us for the specific reason you gave it — to send the results or guide you requested, or to answer you. We use aggregate analytics to understand what's helpful and make it better. That's all.

What we never do

The service providers we rely on

Today the list is one name long: Netlify hosts the site, and standard server logs may apply under their privacy policy. Nothing else on this site sends your data anywhere. If we activate the optional discovery form, it will be processed by Formspree (only the name and email you choose to type in), and this list will be updated before that happens. Each provider handles data under its own privacy policy, and we use providers only to deliver what you asked for.

Cookies & consent

We keep cookies to the minimum needed to run the site. Where regional rules require consent for non-essential cookies, we ask — and we default to the privacy-preserving choice, so declining is always easy and never punished.

A note on links to Super Patch

When you follow a link from our site to Super Patch or any third party, you leave our site and their privacy practices apply, not ours. We have an affiliate relationship we disclose openly on our Disclosure page; that relationship does not give us access to your activity on their site.

Your choices

You can use the entire Institute without giving us anything. If you've shared an email or other details, you can ask us to update or delete them at any time, and you can unsubscribe from any messages with one click. To make a request, reach us through the contact options.

Children

The Institute is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

If we change these practices, we'll update this page and note when it was last revised. Material changes will be made clearly, not quietly.

Last revised: August 11, 2026.

Note. This policy describes how the Institute handles data as of the revision date above. It is written in plain language rather than legalese, and it is not legal advice.
