Privacy Policy

Last updated October 4, 2026

Toddinoff.com is a personal blog and hobby site run by me, Todd. I don't sell anything, I don't run ads, and I don't use any tracking or analytics services. This page explains the small amount of information the site does handle and what happens to it.

What I collect

When you use the contact form: your name, email address, and message. These are sent straight to my email inbox at todd@toddinoff.com. They aren't stored anywhere else on the site. I use them only to read and reply to your message.

When you leave a comment: the name you enter and your comment. Every comment is held for my approval first. If I approve it, your name, comment, and the date are published publicly under the post, so please don't put anything in a comment you wouldn't want the world to see. Comments don't ask for your email address.

View counts: the home page shows a view counter. It only counts how many times a page has loaded. It doesn't record who you are, your IP address, or anything else about you.

Server logs: like nearly every website, my web host automatically keeps standard server logs. These can include your IP address, browser type, the page you asked for, and the time. I don't use these logs to identify anyone. They're kept by the host for security and troubleshooting.

Cookies and local storage

Toddinoff.com does not set any cookies of its own.

The browser games on the Fun Stuff page (BrickBlock and BrickBlock 3D) use your browser's local storage to save your game progress and high scores. That data stays on your own device. It's never sent to me, and you can clear it anytime through your browser settings.

Third-party services

A few things on the site are loaded from other companies. When your browser loads them, those companies may receive your IP address and basic browser information under their own privacy policies:

YouTube (Google): some posts embed YouTube videos. I use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode, which doesn't set tracking cookies until you press play. Once you play a video, YouTube's privacy policy applies.
cdnjs (Cloudflare): BrickBlock 3D loads the three.js graphics library from cdnjs. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
My web host: the company that hosts this site stores its files and processes the server logs described above.

Some posts link to other websites, like EnterTheInstance.com. Those sites have their own policies, and this one doesn't cover them.

How long I keep things

Contact messages stay in my email inbox until I delete them.
Approved comments stay up until I remove them or you ask me to.
Comments I don't approve are discarded.

Sharing

I don't sell, rent, or trade your information, and I don't share it with anyone. The only exceptions are the services listed above that are needed to run the site, and cases where the law requires it.

Your choices

You can email me anytime at todd@toddinoff.com to:

ask what information I have from you
have your comment edited or removed
have your contact messages deleted

I'll take care of it as soon as I reasonably can. Depending on where you live (for example, the EU, the UK, or California), you may have additional rights under local privacy laws, and I'll honor those requests too.

Children

This site isn't directed at children under 13, and I don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you think a child has sent me their information, email me and I'll delete it.

Changes

If the site changes in a way that affects your privacy, I'll update this page and the date at the top.

Contact

If you have questions about this policy, email todd@toddinoff.com or use the contact page.
