# Privacy and fine print

**Short answer:** Near Field Notes has no ads, no accounts and no tracking cookies. The only things it keeps are what you choose to send me.

## What you send me

The contact form, Ask for a note and the feedback bar under each note mail your words to me, with your name and email address if you give them, the page you wrote from and the country Cloudflare says you’re in. I use them to read your message and write back, and for nothing else. The mail passes through Cloudflare, which hosts the site.

Tapping a button in the feedback bar adds one to a count for that note. Nothing about you is kept with it.

## Visitor counts

Cloudflare Web Analytics counts visits to each page. It sets no cookies and doesn’t follow you to other sites. The forms check your IP address to stop floods of spam, but it isn’t kept with your message or sent to me.

## What I don’t do

I don’t sell or share what you send, show ads, or add you to a mailing list. Asks for notes are never shown on the site. If you ask to hear when a follow-up is out, your address is used for that one email.

## Deleting it

To have me delete a message you sent, say so through the [contact form](https://nearfieldnotes.com/contact/).

## No warranty

The notes are for learning. They’re checked with care, but a simulation isn’t your board. Read the datasheets, test your own design, and take care with high voltage and lithium cells. The notes come with no warranty, and I’m not liable for anything built or done with them.

## Names and marks

Product and company names in the notes belong to their owners and are used to describe real parts. Naming a part isn’t an endorsement. Unless a note says otherwise, Near Field Notes isn’t affiliated with the companies it names.
