Introduction
Welcome to Chudi Nnorukam ("we", "our", or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at https://chudi.dev.
This policy applies to all visitors, users, and others who access or use our website. By using our website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
We may collect information you provide directly when you:
- Subscribe to our newsletter: Email address
- Use our contact form: Name, email address, and message content
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, we may automatically collect:
- Analytics data: Pages visited, referral source, campaign attribution, CTA interactions, and newsletter conversion events (via Vercel Analytics, Google Analytics 4, PostHog, Microsoft Clarity, and Ahrefs Web Analytics)
- Technical data: Browser type, device type, operating system
Note: Analytics run by default. Choosing Reject in the cookie banner turns them off, except Ahrefs Web Analytics, which sets no cookies (see below). We use attribution data to understand which campaigns, referrals, and on-site CTAs lead to newsletter signups, guide unlocks, and contact requests.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Send you our newsletter (if you subscribed)
- Respond to your inquiries via the contact form
- Understand how visitors use our website to improve content, newsletter flows, and product discovery
- Maintain the security and functionality of our website
We will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
Vercel Analytics
We use Vercel Analytics to understand website traffic patterns. This service is privacy-focused and does not collect personal data. It runs unless you choose Reject in our cookie banner.
Vercel Analytics Privacy Policy
Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics 4. It runs unless you choose Reject in the cookie banner. GA4 helps us measure page views, newsletter submissions, CTA clicks, outbound clicks, and campaign attribution so we can understand which content and distribution channels are performing.
We also store first-touch and current-session attribution data in your browser when you arrive with UTM parameters, so we can attribute newsletter and lead conversions to the campaigns that brought you here.
PostHog
We use PostHog (US cloud) to understand how visitors move through the site, especially the product pages and the step before checkout. PostHog records page views, clicks, and the same offer and CTA events we send to Google Analytics 4. Requests go through a path on chudi.dev, then on to PostHog. PostHog stores an anonymous visitor ID in a cookie and in your browser's local storage. We never link it to your name or email address.
PostHog runs unless you choose Reject in the cookie banner, and it stays off entirely if your browser sends a Do Not Track signal.
Session replay: on the product pages, and on pages you visit after clicking a product or service offer, PostHog records a replay of how the page was used (scrolling, clicks, page changes) so we can find where the buying path breaks. Everything typed into form fields is masked before it leaves your browser. Replay is off on every other page. Replays are kept for 30 days.
Microsoft Clarity
We use Microsoft Clarity to see which searches in AI assistants, such as Microsoft Copilot, led people to a page. Clarity also records how every page is used (clicks, scrolling, and mouse movement) and stores an anonymous visitor ID in cookies. It runs unless you choose Reject in the cookie banner.
Ahrefs Web Analytics
We use Ahrefs Web Analytics to count visits and see where they come from. It does not use cookies. Because it sets no cookies, it runs on every page and the cookie banner does not turn it off.
Google Fonts
We use Google Fonts to display typography on our website. When you visit, your browser downloads fonts from Google's servers. Google may collect your IP address for this purpose.
ConvertKit (Newsletter)
If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email is stored with ConvertKit, our email service provider. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email.
Resend (Contact Form)
Contact form submissions are sent via Resend, an email delivery service. Your message is transmitted securely and only used to respond to your inquiry.
Affiliate Links
Some pages on this website contain affiliate links. When you click on these links and make a purchase, I may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Active affiliate relationships currently include:
- Railway - Managed infrastructure for backends, workers, and databases when a project needs a persistent service without VPS administration.
- DigitalOcean - Cloud VPS hosting for Python agents that need full root access and persistent processes.
- QuantVPS - Specialized VPS hosting for live trading-bot operators who have measured a latency or infrastructure bottleneck.
I only recommend products and services I personally use and believe provide value. My recommendations are not influenced by affiliate compensation. For a full list of recommended tools, visit my Resources page.
Cookies
