1. Who I Am
My website address is: https://earnmorewithjosh.com.
2. Analytics and Website Tracking
To better understand how visitors use my website and to improve my user experience, I utilize a locally hosted, privacy-first analytics tool. When you browse our site, the website collects the following information:
- Anonymized IP Address: The website captures your IP address but automatically anonymize it (by removing the final digits) before it is saved to our database. This prevents it from being used to personally identify you.
- Browsing Data: The website logs the specific pages you visit on the site, the time of your visit, and the website URL that referred you (if applicable).
- Device Information: The website collects your browser’s user agent string to determine the type of browsing you are using. This helps protect against bots and malicious actors.
Importantly, the website tracking does not use cookies, and all data is hosted securely on our own servers. I do not sell, trade, or share your tracking data with third-party analytics providers or advertising networks.
3. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site the website collects the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
4. Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

6. Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
