Your privacy is important. This policy explains how ShawnPickett.tech collects, uses, and protects your information when you use my website, applications, and research tools.

1. Information Collection

I collect minimal data necessary to provide a functional and secure service:

• Voluntary Information: Email addresses provided when subscribing to the newsletter or contacting me directly.
• Usage Data: Anonymous analytics data (via Vercel) regarding page views and tool usage to help improve the site.
• App Data: Some tools (like Scorekeeper or Tinnitus Tone) store preferences locally on your device (Local Storage). I do not have access to this data.

2. How I Use Your Information

Information collected is used solely for:

• Delivering the specific service requested (e.g., sending the newsletter).
• Monitoring website performance and security.
• Improving the functionality of tools and applications.

I do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others.

3. Third-Party Services

I use trusted third-party services to operate this infrastructure. Each has their own privacy policies:

• Vercel: Hosting and Analytics.
• Supabase: Database and Authentication services.
• Google: AI Language Model.

4. Cookies

This website uses essential cookies/local storage to remember your preferences (such as Dark Mode settings or scores in games). You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though some site features may not function properly.
