This site collects as little as possible and shares none of it. This page explains what happens when you read an article or send an email.
Server logs
Our host records standard technical information each time a page is requested: IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. These logs keep the site running, show which pages are broken and are not used to identify individual readers.
If you write to hello@crumbandhearth.com, we keep your message and address for as long as the conversation lasts. Email is used only to reply, never for a newsletter or marketing.
Cookies
This site sets no cookies of its own. The cookie policy explains this in full.
Third parties
We do not sell, rent or trade your information. There are no analytics accounts, advertising networks or social media pixels on this site. Fonts and images are served from this domain, so reading an article does not call out to another company.
Retention
Server logs are rotated by the host, usually within a month, and are not archived elsewhere. Email is kept while it remains useful, and deleted on request. If you ask a question and the answer might help someone else, I may quote the question in an article, but never with your address attached.
Your rights
You may ask what we hold about you, ask for a copy, or ask for it to be deleted. In most cases the answer will be a short email and nothing more. There is no charge, and a request is answered within a month. Write to hello@crumbandhearth.com.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will appear on this page. It was last updated in November 2026.
