Privacy
Last updated 2026-07-28
We do not want your data. This page exists because a few things the site needs in order to work do see something about you, and you should be able to read exactly what.
What we ask you for
Nothing, unless you choose to type it. There are two forms: the contact form and the new-episode email list. If you use neither, we never learn your name or your email address.
The email list is double opt-in. Signing up sends you a confirmation link, and you are not on the list until you click it. That means someone else cannot sign you up. Every email has a working unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing deletes the address. Episode mail comes from newsletter@mammadrashad.com; anything else claiming to be us is not.
What we do not do
- No advertising, and no advertising trackers.
- No selling or sharing of your details with anyone.
- No profile of you built across other websites.
- No account, so there is no password to lose.
Services that can see something
Each of these is a separate company with its own privacy policy, linked below.
| Service | Why | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| Netlify | Hosts the site and serves every page. | IP address and request headers, in server logs. Standard for any web host. |
| Resend | Delivers the contact form and the new-episode email. | Your email address and whatever you type into the form. Only when you submit one. |
| YouTube | Plays the video version of an episode. | Nothing until you press play. The video is a still image and a button until then. Once you press play, YouTube receives your IP address and can set cookies. We use the nocookie domain, which limits but does not remove this. |
Not switched on yet
These are planned but not currently running, so they receive nothing today. They are listed now so this page is accurate the day any of them is enabled, rather than after.
| Service | Why | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | Audience reporting: which episodes people find and where from. | Page views, referrer, approximate location, device, and a cookie-based identifier. Sets cookies. |
| Microsoft Clarity | Session replay and heatmaps, to see where the site confuses people. | Mouse movement, clicks, scrolling, and a recording of the page as you used it. Text input is masked. Sets cookies. |
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Stops bots submitting the contact form. | A challenge token and signals about your browser. No cookie that tracks you across sites. |
The video player
Episode pages show a still image and a play button, not a YouTube embed. No YouTube code loads and YouTube learns nothing about you until you press play. That is a deliberate choice, and it is also why the pages load quickly.
Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted, and we will do it. If you are in the EU or the UK, the GDPR gives you those rights formally. In Canada, PIPEDA does. Our commercial email follows CASL, which is why the list is confirmed opt-in.
Ask by emailing info@mammadrashad.com. A real person reads it.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect anything from them.
Changes
If we add a service that sees your data, this page is updated in the same change that adds it. That is a rule we hold ourselves to, not an aspiration.
