Privacy Policy.

Last updated: February 25, 2026

Essential Hustle ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit essentialhustle.dev.

Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to operate our website and respond to inquiries:

  • Contact form submissions: name, email address, and message content — provided voluntarily when you reach out to us.
  • Anonymous analytics: page views, referrer, browser type, country, and device type — collected via self-hosted Umami Analytics. No cookies, no personal identifiers, no tracking across sites.
  • Server logs: IP addresses in Nginx access logs, retained for 30 days for security monitoring.

How We Use Your Information

  • To respond to your contact form inquiries via email.
  • To improve our website based on anonymous usage patterns.
  • To monitor and prevent abuse of our services.

Analytics

We use Umami, a privacy-focused, self-hosted analytics platform. Umami does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and is fully GDPR compliant. All analytics data is aggregated and anonymous.

Data Storage & Security

Contact form submissions are delivered via email and optionally via Telegram notification. We do not store form data in any database. Analytics data is stored on our self-hosted infrastructure within our private network.

Third-Party Services

We do not sell, share, or transfer your personal information to third parties. Our website does not load any third-party scripts, trackers, or advertising networks.

Your Rights

You may request deletion of any personal data we hold by contacting us at hello@essentialhustle.dev. Since we store minimal data, in most cases there is nothing to delete beyond email correspondence.
