Privacy Policy

Made with Merritt respects your privacy.

This website is operated by Alistair Merritt and is intended to share projects, experiments, updates, and ways to get in touch.

What information may be collected

If you contact me through the website, or register your interest in purchasing a device or future product, I may collect the information you choose to submit, such as:

• your name
• your email address
• the contents of your message
• any product or purchase interest details you choose to provide

If you visit this website, basic technical information may also be collected automatically by the hosting platform or other service providers used to run the site, such as browser, device, IP address, and general usage information.

How your information is used

Information submitted through the site may be used to:

• respond to your enquiry
• follow up on a project, collaboration, product, or support question
• keep track of interest in current or future products
• contact you about product availability, pricing, pre-orders, or related updates
• help keep the website secure and functioning properly
• understand and manage submissions, including spam prevention

I only collect and use information where it is reasonably necessary for these purposes.

Contact and register-interest forms

This site uses Formspree to process form submissions.

When you submit a form, the information you provide is sent to Formspree so it can deliver the message, manage the submission, and help with spam filtering and form handling.

By submitting a form on this website, you acknowledge that your information may be processed by Formspree in accordance with its own privacy practices.

Product interest and updates

If you register your interest in a device or future release, I may use the information you provide to contact you about:

• availability
• pricing
• pre-orders
• release updates
• other information directly related to that product interest

Registering interest does not place you under any obligation to purchase, and I will not use your details for unrelated marketing.

External links and third-party services

This website may include links to third-party websites or services, including Ko-fi.

If you click through to a third-party site, your information will be handled according to that service's own terms and privacy policy. I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.

Cookies

This website does not currently use advertising or marketing cookies directly on the site to the best of my knowledge.

However, the hosting platform and other third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies for essential site functionality, security, performance, or their own services. Third-party sites linked from this website, such as Ko-fi, may also use cookies once you visit them.

Hosting and infrastructure

This website is hosted using GitHub Pages and related GitHub infrastructure. As with most website hosts, GitHub may process technical information such as IP address, browser details, and usage data in order to provide, secure, and improve its services.

Data retention

If you send a message or register your interest through the website, I may keep that information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• respond to your enquiry
• keep track of product interest
• provide relevant product updates
• maintain appropriate records
• manage ongoing communication

Security

Reasonable steps are taken to protect information submitted through this website, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Your choices

You can choose not to submit personal information through the forms on this website.

If you would like to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have submitted through this site, please get in touch using the contact details below.
