Last updated: June 10, 2026

At bluedog.sh, we believe in being transparent about how we handle your information. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have.

What We Collect

When you use our site, we collect limited information:

Email address: We ask for your email when you submit our lead-capture form. This is the primary information we collect from you directly.
Optional name: You may choose to provide your name on the form, but this is optional.
Hashed IP address: We store a hashed version of your IP address along with your form submission. We do not store your raw IP address. This helps us prevent spam and abuse.

We also collect standard web analytics data through Google Analytics, which includes information about how you interact with our site (pages visited, time spent, browser type, and general location based on IP).

How We Use Your Information

Your information is used for these purposes only:

To contact you about potential opportunities related to bluedog.sh
To prevent spam, abuse, and fraudulent submissions through the hashed IP tracking
To understand how visitors use our site through Google Analytics

We do not sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties. We do not use your information for marketing purposes beyond responding to your direct inquiry.

Storage and Third Parties

Your information is stored in Google Firestore, a database service provided by Google Cloud. This means your data is subject to Google's infrastructure and security practices.

We use these Google services:

Google Firestore: Stores your form submissions, including email, optional name, and hashed IP address
Google Analytics: Tracks how visitors interact with our site

Both services are third-party providers, but they are infrastructure tools rather than marketing partners. Your email is not shared with these services beyond what is necessary to operate our site.

Data Retention

We retain form submissions and associated data (email, name, hashed IP) indefinitely unless you request deletion. We may periodically review and clean up data from spam or fraudulent submissions.

Google Analytics data is retained according to Google's standard retention policies, which you can review in Google's privacy documentation.

Your Choices and Contact

You have the following rights and options:

You can choose not to submit the lead-capture form. Our site functions fully without it.
You can request that we delete your email and submission data at any time by contacting us.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser extension.
You can adjust your browser settings to control cookies and tracking.

If you have questions about this privacy policy, want to request deletion of your data, or have privacy concerns, contact us at jon@bluedog.sh.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when we make changes. Your continued use of our site after updates means you accept the updated policy.

If we make material changes to how we collect or use your information, we will notify you by email (if we have your address) or by posting a prominent notice on our site.
