Privacy
This site collects very little. Here is all of it, and what happens to it.
When you send a message
The contact form sends your name, email address, and the phone number, topic and message you choose to give. It is emailed to me through Resend, and you get a copy confirming it arrived. It is not added to any mailing list.
While you type, a draft is saved in your own browser so nothing is lost if the page closes or you lose signal. It stays on your device and is cleared once the message is sent.
When you apply to be a podcast guest
The guest application asks for your name, email address, and the company, role, links and pitch you choose to give, plus your time zone so recording times are shown in it. I use them to decide whether the conversation is a fit, to schedule it, and to send you the booking, reminder and follow-up emails for your episode. Nothing is added to a mailing list unless you tick the box asking to be kept posted.
Applications are stored in Lachy Blake HQ, which runs on Supabase in Sydney. The emails are sent by Resend and the recording time is booked through Cal.com; each sees only what it needs to do its job. If this device is offline when you press send, the application is kept in your own browser until it can be sent, then cleared.
Email lachy@lachyblake.com to see what I hold about you or to have it deleted. An application that is not taken up is kept only as long as it takes to say so.
When you sign up
Signing up for Virtue gives your email address to Beehiiv, which sends the newsletter. Each signup is tagged with the form you used, so you only hear about what you asked for. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
Analytics
This site counts visits with Vercel Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and does not identify you. It records which pages are viewed, the referring site, and the country and device type, in aggregate.
Videos and links
Episode thumbnails load from YouTube's image servers. The Follow page also embeds the podcast player (YouTube, in its privacy-enhanced mode) and the X timeline, which load from those platforms once the page has opened. Opening a video or a profile takes you to that platform, and its own privacy policy applies there.
Your information
Email lachy@lachyblake.com to see, correct or delete anything you have sent me, or with any question about this page.
