Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Technical Fieldcraft is a publishing site operated by CG Innovation LLC, a Texas limited liability company. We publish articles, field notes, and related materials for readers interested in technology, innovation, and organizational risk.

For this site, CG Innovation LLC is responsible for the limited information we collect directly. Newsletter subscriptions, email delivery, account management, and any paid subscription features are handled by Substack under Substack's own terms and privacy policy.

Information We Collect

When you visit technicalfieldcraft.com, standard operational logs may record information such as pages visited, browser or device type, referral source, and general location. We use this information to operate, secure, and improve the site.

If analytics is enabled with your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site. Analytics information may include pages viewed, referrers, approximate geography, device and browser information, and similar usage signals.

If you subscribe to the newsletter via Substack, your email address and subscription preferences are handled directly by Substack. If you contact us through Substack, we may receive the information included in that message or made available through Substack's publisher tools. Substack's handling of subscriber data is described in its privacy policy.

Cookies and Analytics

We use non-essential analytics cookies only after you choose to accept them. Google Analytics 4 may use cookies or similar technologies to help us measure visits, page views, and how people find the site.

We do not load Google Analytics until you accept analytics cookies. Rejecting analytics cookies does not block access to the site.

You can change your cookie choice at any time:

How We Use Information

We use the limited information described above to:

• operate, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the site;
• understand what articles and pages are useful to readers;
• preserve attribution when a visitor follows a link to Substack; and
• respond to messages or requests sent through Substack or another channel.

We do not sell personal information. We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information through this site, and we do not use analytics data to identify individual readers.

Third-Party Services

This site links to external tools and publications (including Substack) that operate under their own privacy policies. We do not control data collection on those services.

Embedded Substack signup forms are loaded only after you choose to load them. Once loaded, Substack may use its own cookies or storage under Substack's privacy policy.

Retention

We keep operational and analytics records only as long as reasonably useful for running, protecting, and improving the site, or as required by the services we use. Substack controls retention for newsletter, account, email, and payment records handled on its platform.

Your Choices and Rights

For visitors in regions where a legal basis is required, analytics processing is based on your consent. You may withdraw that consent using cookie settings. Withdrawal prevents future analytics events from this site for your browser where we control them.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability for personal information associated with you. Because most subscriber information is held by Substack, we may direct you to Substack for requests involving newsletter, account, or payment data.

You can unsubscribe from email through the unsubscribe link in Substack emails or by managing your subscription on Substack.

Children's Privacy

This site is intended for a general professional audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the site, analytics, or publication tools change. The "Last updated" date above shows when the current version took effect.
