Ozgnos is built on a simple idea: be honest with people. That applies to your data too. This page explains, in plain English, what this site collects, what it doesn't, and what your rights are.
The short version
- We only collect your email address — and only if you choose to subscribe to the newsletter.
- Analytics are self-hosted, cookieless, and anonymous. We see page views, not people.
- There are no ads, no tracking pixels, no data brokers. We never sell or share your data.
- You can unsubscribe or ask us to delete your data at any time.
What we collect, and why
Your email (only if you subscribe). When you enter your email in a subscribe form, it's stored on our own self-hosted newsletter server (Listmonk, running on infrastructure we control). It's used for exactly one thing: sending you the Ozgnos newsletter. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing removes you from the list.
Anonymous usage statistics. We run a self-hosted, privacy-focused analytics tool (Umami) to understand which pages people find useful. It does not use cookies, does not build profiles, does not track you across other websites, and does not store personal information. We see aggregate numbers like "the seed phrase lesson got 200 views" — not who you are.
A theme preference. If you toggle light/dark mode, that choice is saved in your own browser's local storage. It never leaves your device, and clearing your browser data removes it.
Third parties this site talks to
We keep this list as short as possible, but full honesty means listing it:
- Vercel hosts this website. Like any web host, it processes standard server logs (such as IP addresses) to deliver pages and prevent abuse.
- Google Fonts serves the two typefaces you're reading. Your browser requests them from Google's servers, which means Google sees your IP address for that request.
- Market data — prices (CoinGecko) and the Fear & Greed index (alternative.me) — is fetched through our own server, so your browser never contacts those services directly.
That's the complete list. Our analytics isn't on it because it isn't a third party — it runs on our own server (see above), so your visit data never leaves infrastructure we control. No advertising networks, no social media pixels, no fingerprinting scripts.
Your rights
If you're in the EU/EEA, the GDPR gives you the right to access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you — which, in practice, is just your email address if you subscribed. Wherever you are, we honor the same rights:
- Unsubscribe: click the link at the bottom of any newsletter email. Instant, no questions.
- Delete everything: email us at contact@ozgnos.com, or message us on X or Telegram and we'll remove your data from our systems.
Changes to this policy
If we ever change how we handle data, we'll update this page and the date at the top. We won't quietly start collecting more than we say here.
