Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

TechHead (techhead.co) is a personal technology blog operated by Simon Seagrave, based in Massachusetts, USA. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit this site, how it is used, and your choices regarding that information.

Information We Collect

Information you provide directly

If you leave a comment or submit a contact form, we collect the information you choose to provide — typically your name, email address, and the content of your message. Email addresses submitted via contact forms are used only to respond to your inquiry and are never sold or shared with third parties.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, TechHead automatically collects certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This is collected through standard server logs and analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) and is used solely to understand how readers find and use the site, so we can improve the content and experience.

Cookies

This site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — for the following purposes:

• Analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics): help us understand traffic patterns and popular content. Google Analytics anonymises IP addresses by default.
• Functional cookies: remember your preferences (such as comment author name) between visits.
• Third-party embedded content: pages that include embedded videos or social media content may set their own cookies, governed by those platforms’ own privacy policies.

Most browsers allow you to control or disable cookies through their settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality.

How We Use Your Information

• Operate and improve the site
• Respond to comments and inquiries
• Understand what content is most useful to readers
• Prevent spam and abuse

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.

• Akismet — spam filtering for comments (Automattic Privacy Policy)
• Embedded content — articles may contain embedded content from YouTube or X/Twitter, which may collect data if you interact with it

Data Retention

Comments and contact form submissions are retained for as long as the site operates. Analytics data is retained per Google Analytics default retention settings. You may request deletion of any personal data you have submitted by contacting us at the address below.
