Who I am
This site is tompham.ca, a personal publication operated by me, Tom Pham, based in Toronto, Canada.
What I collect, and why
Email addresses. If you subscribe to the newsletter, your email address is collected and stored so that I can send you new posts. The signup form is provided by Kit (formerly known as ConvertKit), which is based in the United States. Subscribing is optional. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email I send you.
Server logs. When you visit any page on this site, your browser sends information that is automatically logged by my hosting provider, Hostinger. This includes your IP address, browser type, the page you visited, and the date and time. This data is used by the hosting provider for security and operational purposes. I do not personally review or share this data.
