Who is responsible

Work Smart, Not Hard is operated by Didrik Martens. Questions about privacy can be sent to didrik@work-smart-not-hard.tech.

Information we may process

Depending on how you use the site, we may process:

• technical information such as browser type, device type, approximate location, pages visited, referring page, timestamps, and IP-derived information;
• information you choose to provide when you email us or subscribe to updates, such as your name, email address, and message;
• consent choices and advertising preferences; and
• aggregated performance and usage information used to understand and improve the site.

Why we use information

We use information to operate and secure the site, respond to messages, deliver requested updates, understand which content is useful, improve the user experience, prevent abuse, and—where permitted—measure and fund the site through advertising.

Google services and advertising

This site uses Google services, including Site Kit, Google Analytics, and Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure usage, prevent fraud, personalise or select ads, and measure ad performance. Where consent is required, advertising and measurement choices are presented through Google’s consent-management message before non-essential storage is used.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services at Google’s partner-sites privacy page. You can also manage advertising preferences at My Ad Center.

Cookies and consent choices

Essential technologies support security and basic site operation. Analytics, advertising, and other optional technologies are used according to your consent choices where required. You can review the categories and change your choices through the privacy controls shown on the site. More information is available in our Cookie Policy.

Service providers and links

We may use hosting, security, analytics, advertising, email, and content-delivery providers to operate the site. They process information under their own terms and applicable data-protection obligations. Articles may link to external websites and social networks; their privacy practices apply after you leave this site.

Retention and security

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect the site. We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To make a request, email didrik@work-smart-not-hard.tech. You may also contact your local data-protection authority.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the site or its services change. The date at the top shows the latest revision.
