Hosting and technical data
The site is hosted on Ghost(Pro), whose privacy policy describes its data handling. Delivering a page involves technical request information, such as an IP address and browser details, and the hosting service may retain logs for operating and protecting the service.
Analytics
Ghost web analytics and Google Analytics 4 help show which pages people visit and how they use the site. This site also sends events for link clicks and article reading depth to GA4. Google describes the information processed by its services in its privacy policy. Reports summarize activity; using analytics does not make a visit anonymous.
Email subscription
New subscriptions and newsletter sending are currently disabled. Existing membership records may still be held in Ghost. Ghost’s email-open and email-click tracking settings are enabled; the site is not currently sending newsletters. For a question about an existing membership or a request concerning your data, use the profiles on the Contact page.
Cookies
Google Analytics can use cookies such as _ga to distinguish visits. Ghost describes its built-in web analytics as cookie-free. Browser settings and content blockers can limit cookies and analytics requests; hosting still needs to process requests to deliver pages.
Outbound links
Following an external link sends a request to another site, which handles the visit under its own privacy terms. Some links include a referral parameter identifying SoundForgePro.com as the referring site. A referral parameter alone does not establish whether a link involves a commercial relationship.
Your choices and rights
You can use browser privacy controls or a content blocker to limit analytics. For questions about data associated with a previous subscription, or to request access or deletion, contact the author through the profiles on the Contact page. Include enough information to identify the request, and keep sensitive account details out of public messages.
