Introduction

This privacy policy explains how You've Gone 2 Far collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website at youvegone2far.co.uk. We are a personal blog and podcast about health, addiction, recovery, and everything in between.

Data We Collect

We collect personal information only when you choose to provide it:

  • Contact form submissions: your name, email address, and message content.

We do not collect any personal data through passive tracking or fingerprinting.

Cookies

A cookie consent banner is shown on your first visit. By default, we use only essential cookies required for the site to function (such as session cookies and your theme preference).

Analytics cookies are only set if you give explicit consent via the cookie banner.

Analytics

We use Umami Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics tool. Umami is cookieless by default, does not collect any personal data, and does not track you across websites. Our analytics instance is self-hosted at analytics.youvegone2far.co.uk.

No personal information is collected, stored, or shared through our analytics.
