Privacy
Your data on this site
What happens when you read a page, send us a message, or subscribe to Field notes. Here’s how the website handles each.
Legal review pending. This page describes the website’s current behavior. The policy details listed at the end still need to be completed and reviewed.

Google Analytics 4 helps us understand which pages people read. Its script loads only after you accept analytics in the privacy preferences bar. If you decline, the site does not load it.
You can change that choice at any time. Turning analytics off removes its script, clears its analytics cookies, and sets the opt-out flag that stops further collection for this site. This does not remove information already sent to Google.
Cookies and browser storage
The website’s analytics code uses Google’s _ga and _ga_* cookies after you accept analytics. The website does not set a session cookie.
Your analytics choice is saved on your device in your browser’s local storage. That record is separate from a cookie and is not sent to our server with each page request.
Contact messages
When you submit the contact form, your name, email address, company, selected service, and message are sent to us by email through Resend. Your email address is used as the reply-to address so we can respond directly.
The website does not create a database record of your message. Resend handles delivery, and we receive the message in our inbox.
Field notes subscriptions
When you subscribe to Field notes, your email address is stored as a contact in Resend and added to our Field notes mailing list. If you already have a contact record, the signup keeps your existing unsubscribe preference.
To ask us to remove your email address from the list, email lloyd@clossonlabs.com.
Abuse prevention
The contact and subscription forms use your IP address and recent submission times to limit repeated submissions. The count uses a rolling one-hour window.
The rate-limit records are held in server memory. The form code does not write them to disk or a database, and they reset when the server restarts.
Advertising and tracking
This website’s code does not include advertising or retargeting scripts, tracking pixels, or integrations with data brokers or ad networks. Google Analytics is the only third-party analytics script it loads, and it requires your choice first.
Google Analytics also has account-level advertising and cross-site settings. Those settings are outside the website’s code and remain part of the policy review below.
Your choices
You can review or change your analytics choice here or through “Privacy preferences” in the footer of any page.
For questions about a contact message or subscription, email lloyd@clossonlabs.com.
