Privacy. One form, no cookies, no trackers.
This page says what ownthecode.dev collects, where it is kept, what it is used for, and how to have it removed. It is short because there is not much to say. Last updated 3 September 2026.
The email form, and what travels with it.
The only data this site collects is what you submit through the free-chapter form. That is your email address, plus three things attached to the submission: a source tag, if you arrived through a link carrying a ?via= parameter; the page the form was on; and the time of the submission.
If the same address is submitted again, the record keeps the first and the most recent time, the first and most recent source and page, and a count of submissions. The endpoint does not store your IP address or your browser details, and nothing is recorded from pages where you did not submit the form.
There is no account, no login, and no other form.
No cookies. No analytics. No third-party scripts.
The site sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. It loads no analytics, no advertising pixels, and no script from anyone else. Fonts, styles and scripts are served from this domain, and every page makes zero third-party runtime requests.
That is a claim you can check rather than take on trust. Open your browser’s network panel on any page here and read the list of hosts — there is one.
Conversion is measured by the form submission itself, stored first-party. No pixel fires, on this site or on anyone else’s.
Kept on the operator’s own hosting account, used for two things.
Your submission is stored in a key-value store on the site operator’s hosting account. It is not sold, rented, swapped, or added to anyone else’s list.
The address is used to send you the free chapter and, later, occasional notes about the playbook and the workshop. Nothing else is sent to it.
Sending mail needs a mail service. Any service used to deliver those messages receives your address in order to make the delivery, and for no other purpose.
The provider that hosts this site processes every request in order to serve it, as any host must, under its own terms. On top of that, the code that handles the form logs each submission — whether the address was new or a repeat, and its source tag, never the address itself — and the host keeps those lines for a few days, then discards them.
Write to one address, and the record goes.
To be removed, write to connect@ownthecode.dev from the address you submitted, or reply to any email the site has sent you and say so. The record for your address is deleted, and no further email is sent to it.
You can ask what is held about your address the same way. The answer is the record described above, read back to you.
Kept until you ask, and dated when it changes.
Records are kept until removal is requested. There is no automatic expiry, because the address exists to receive later notes as well as the chapter. When you no longer want them, the record has no reason to exist, and it is deleted.
This page changes when the site does. The date at the top moves with it, and the version published here is the one that applies.
