effective 31 july 2026 · updated 18 september 2026 · version 1.1 · terms of use →
This policy covers lincolnstuek.com, including the games under lincolnstuek.com/games and the html worlds under lincolnstuek.com/htmls. I am Lincoln Stuek, an individual working under my own name in California.
The short version
- The site itself collects nothing. It runs no analytics, sets no cookies, and loads nothing from a third party: fonts and scripts are served from my own domain.
- If you email me or book a call, you are giving your details to your email provider or to Cal.com, and then to me. I keep them in an ordinary inbox and calendar.
- The contact form described below exists in my server code. If it is on the page, this is exactly what it does; if it is not, nothing is sent.
- The playground runs Vercel's analytics, which Vercel documents as cookieless.
- I do not sell anything about you, and there are no advertising trackers anywhere on either site.
The contact form
When the form is present it has exactly three fields, Name, Email and Message. There are no hidden fields.
When you press Send, the message goes to my own server code, which hands it straight to Resend, an email delivery company, and Resend emails it to an inbox I control. That is the whole journey. Nothing is written to a database, no CRM picks it up, and no marketing tool receives it.
Your IP address, briefly
To stop the form being flooded, my server code counts recent submissions per IP address and refuses more than five in any sixty seconds. That count is held in the server's memory for that short window and is not written to a file or a database. Separately, Vercel, which hosts the site, receives your request the way any web host does, and keeps its own server logs under its own terms.
The part most privacy policies leave out
Resend uses other companies to run its own service. Its published sub-processor list has twenty-two of them, all in the United States, and that list includes AI providers. So I am not going to tell you that no AI system ever touches your message on its way to me. I cannot promise that, and a policy that did would be guessing. If your message contains something you would not want passing through a commercial email pipeline, email me directly or book a call instead. Resend's current list is at resend.com/legal/subprocessors.
How long I keep it
Honestly: until I delete it by hand. Messages sit in an ordinary email inbox. I have not set a fixed deletion schedule, and I would rather say that than publish a retention policy I do not actually run. Resend keeps its own delivery records under its own retention rules, which are its to set, not mine.
The address on the site is lincolnstuek@gmail.com, a Google account. Anything you send there is handled by your mail provider and by Google under their terms before it reaches me. Same retention as above: until I delete it.
The booking link
The "book a free meeting" links take you to Cal.com, a separate company. Once you are on their page, you are giving your details to them, not to me, and their privacy policy says plainly that they are a data controller of that data, meaning they decide what happens to it. Their policy also names their own tools, including Google Analytics and PostHog.
Two things worth telling you rather than burying: I could not find a data processing agreement published by Cal.com, and their privacy policy carries an effective date of October 2023. If that matters to you, email me instead of booking. Their policy: cal.com/privacy.
The playground
lincolnstuek.com/games hosts the games, and lincolnstuek.com/htmls hosts the html worlds. They collect nothing from you and send nothing anywhere. Each one is a single self-contained file that runs entirely in your browser, with no network calls of its own. On the landing page a game can open inside a frame; that frame loads the same file from this site and nothing else.
Two things do happen there:
- Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights run on the games hub and its pages. Both are served from my own domain rather than a third party's. Vercel's own documentation says they use no third-party cookies, that visitors are identified by a hash of the incoming request rather than a stored identifier, and that the recorded data points are: timestamp, URL and path, referrer, filtered query parameters, approximate location (country, region and city level), device type, operating system and browser, plus page-speed measurements. Vercel states that a visitor session's lifespan is discarded after 24 hours. Those are Vercel's descriptions of its own product; I have read them, I have not audited them.
- Some games save a small marker in your browser's local storage, things like "you have already seen the tutorial", so they do not repeat themselves on your next visit. This site does the same for one thing: whether you switched it into terminal mode. That marker stays on your device. It is never sent to me, and clearing your browser storage removes it.
The games can be embedded in other people's websites. If you are playing one inside a site that is not mine, that site's own privacy policy covers whatever it collects; this policy only covers mine.
Do Not Track
Some browsers can send a "Do Not Track" signal. California law requires me to tell you what I do about it, so: I do not do anything differently when a browser sends one, and I am not promising to. There is no industry program I have signed up to that would give you that choice through this site. The reason this is a short answer rather than an evasive one is that there is no cross-site tracking here to switch off: no ad network, no remarketing pixel, no session recording, no social buttons, no third-party fonts.
Other parties collecting across sites
California law also requires me to say whether other parties may collect information about your activity across different websites while you are on mine. As this site is built today: no third party is doing that on either of my sites. Everything either site loads comes from my own domains. Vercel's analytics on the playground is the only measurement running, Vercel documents it as not identifying users across applications or websites, and it is loaded first-party.
The one exception is by your own choice: if you follow the link to Cal.com, or to a client's site from the timeline, you are then on their website, where their tools apply and this policy stops.
What is collected, and who sees it
Plainly, and in the categories the statute asks for.
Information you type in
Your name, email address and message. Seen by: me, and Resend as the company that delivers it (or your email provider and Google, if you email me directly).
Information your browser sends automatically
Your IP address and standard request details. Used to rate-limit the form and to serve the pages. Seen by: Vercel as the host, and, on the playground, in the aggregate and approximate form described above, Vercel's analytics.
Nobody else
I do not sell personal information, I do not share it for advertising, and I do not have a mailing list to add you to. If that changes, this page changes first.
Seeing, correcting or deleting what you sent
There is no account to log into, so this part is manual and I would rather describe it accurately than dress it up. Email me at lincolnstuek@gmail.com and I will find your message, tell you what it says, correct it, or delete it, whichever you asked for. Say which one you want. I do this by hand, so give me a few days.
You do not have to be in any particular place or prove any particular right to ask. It is a short email and a deleted message.
Changes to this policy
If I change something material, I will change the effective date at the top and post the new version on this page. There is no mailing list here, so this page is the notice. The current version and date are always the ones shown above.
Version 1.1 (18 september 2026): the site moved to one page with an email link and a booking link, the fonts are now self-hosted, the terminal-mode marker is described, and "demos" became "playground". Nothing about what is collected got broader.
