Effective date: June 18, 2026

Owner/contact: Elliot Labs LLC — ehuffman@elliot-labs.com

Your privacy matters. This policy explains what information may be collected when you visit this website, why it is collected, how it is used, and what choices you have.

This website is a static site hosted on GitHub Pages.

We use a small number of analytics and site-improvement tools to understand how people use the site, improve the content, troubleshoot issues, and make the site easier to use.

We do not sell your personal information.

What this policy covers

This policy applies to your use of this website, including pages, articles, documentation, and other content available at: https://sse.elliot.huffman.me

This policy does not apply to third-party websites or services that may be linked from this site. If you follow a link to another website, that website's privacy policy applies.

Information we collect

Information you provide directly

In general, this website does not require you to create an account or provide personal information to read content.

If you contact us by email, form, social media, GitHub issue, or another method, we may receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, username, message content, and any other details you include.

We use that information only to respond, maintain records, troubleshoot issues, or continue the conversation you started.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, some technical and usage information may be collected automatically by the hosting provider and analytics tools. This may include:

  • Pages you visit
  • Links or buttons you click
  • Referring pages or search terms that brought you to the site
  • Approximate location based on IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type
  • Operating system
  • Screen size
  • Date and time of visit
  • Session activity, such as scrolling, navigation, and interaction patterns
  • General performance and diagnostic information

This information helps us understand what content is useful, identify broken or confusing pages, improve site performance, and make the site easier to navigate.

Analytics and tracking technologies

This website uses cookies, browser storage, scripts, and similar technologies to measure site usage and improve the visitor experience.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics may collect information about your visit, such as pages viewed, session duration, device and browser information, approximate location, and interactions with the site.

We use this information to understand which content is helpful, improve navigation, and maintain the site.

Google may process this information according to its own privacy practices:

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager to manage website tags and analytics scripts. Google Tag Manager is a tag management system that helps load and organize tools such as Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.

Google Tag Manager itself is not used by us to identify you. However, the tags loaded through it may collect information as described in this policy.

Microsoft Clarity

We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors interact with the site. Clarity provides tools such as behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay. These help us identify what is useful, confusing, or broken.

Microsoft Clarity may collect information such as:

  • Pages visited
  • Clicks, scrolling, and navigation patterns
  • Browser and device information
  • Approximate location
  • Session activity
  • Referring pages
  • Interaction and performance data

We use this information to improve site design, content quality, usability, and troubleshooting.

Clarity is designed to mask sensitive information by default (such as form input). We do not intentionally use Clarity to collect passwords, payment information, private messages, or sensitive personal information.

Where applicable privacy laws require it (such as in the EU, UK, and certain U.S. states), we rely on:

  • Consent for non-essential analytics and tracking
  • Legitimate interest for limited analytics necessary to:
  • Understand site performance
  • Improve usability
  • Maintain security and prevent abuse

When relying on legitimate interest, we use privacy-focused configurations (such as masking and minimizing data collection) to reduce impact on your privacy.

Hosting on GitHub Pages

  • Understand which pages and topics are useful
  • Improve content, navigation, accessibility, and structure

  • Protect the site from abuse or threats
  • Respond to inquiries
