Privacy notice

Contact form information

When you submit the contact form, you provide your name, email address, selected topic, and message. These details are sent through EmailJS to the connected Gmail inbox so Zero Trust Threads can receive and respond to your inquiry.

The form does not include file uploads or save message drafts in browser storage. Submitting it does not subscribe you to a mailing list. Please do not include passwords, full payment details, access tokens, or confidential information.

Email delivery and message records

EmailJS and Google process information to provide email delivery and mailbox services. Messages delivered to Gmail can remain in the mailbox independently of EmailJS’s message-history settings. For information about an inquiry you previously submitted, use the contact form and select “Privacy question.”

Review EmailJS’s privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy for those providers’ practices.

Technical information and spam protection

When you access a website or send an online form, the services involved receive connection and request information needed to deliver that service. Depending on their configuration, hosting and delivery providers may process IP addresses, browser information, request details, and service logs.

The contact form uses validation and basic submission checks. The form offers a “Load spam protection” control before loading Google reCAPTCHA to help prevent automated submissions. Google’s privacy policy and terms apply to its service.

Homepage analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics on the production homepage to understand visits and how people discover the site. Vercel processes pageview and request information to provide aggregate statistics, including referrers, approximate location, browser, operating system, and device type. Vercel describes its visitor measurement as using a request-derived hash rather than third-party cookies, with the visitor session discarded after 24 hours.

Our integration removes query strings and fragments from the page URL sent in pageview events. We do not configure custom event tracking or send contact-form fields to analytics. The separate contact and policy pages do not include the analytics script. See Vercel’s Web Analytics privacy documentation for details.

Browser preferences

The homepage stores a session preference in your browser so the optional boot introduction does not repeat during that tab’s session. It is separate from analytics and does not contain contact details.

Newsletter subscriptions

If you subscribe to Zero Trust Dispatch, the email address you submit is sent directly to Buttondown. Buttondown stores and processes subscriber information to manage confirmation, newsletter delivery, subscription preferences, and unsubscribing. We do not maintain a separate subscriber database on this website.

Newsletter emails may contain UTM campaign parameters so aggregate visits from the newsletter can be identified in website analytics. Individual email-open and link-click tracking are disabled in Buttondown. See Buttondown’s privacy policy for its practices.

External platforms

The website links to Hashnode for articles, GitHub for learning resources, Instagram for social content, and Etsy and Payhip for products. Clicking a link takes you to a separate service, where its own privacy notice and terms apply.

Messages and purchases on those platforms can also provide Zero Trust Threads with information needed to respond or support an order. Using an external checkout does not mean the seller receives no customer information.

Your choices and requests

You can browse the main site without submitting the contact form or making a purchase. Only provide information relevant to your inquiry.

For questions about information you have shared, or to request access, correction, or deletion where applicable, use the contact form and select “Privacy question.” Identify the relevant message or order without sending passwords or payment card details. Available rights and any exceptions depend on applicable law and the circumstances of the request.

For account information held directly by a platform, use that platform’s privacy and account controls as well.

Changes to this notice

This page may be updated when the website’s contact features, service providers, or information-handling practices change.
