Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 7, 2026

Jerry Hudson respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about what information is collected when you visit this website, why it is collected, and how it may be used.

This Privacy Policy explains the types of information that may be collected through this website and the services used to operate it.

1. Information You Provide

You may choose to provide personal information when using certain features of this website.

This may include:

  • your name;
  • your email address;
  • information you submit through a contact form or email;
  • information you provide when subscribing to the newsletter; and
  • any other information you voluntarily provide.

You are not required to provide personal information simply to read the publicly available content on this website.

2. Newsletter

This website may offer an email newsletter.

If you choose to subscribe, your email address and, where requested, your name will be collected for the purpose of sending you newsletters, new article notifications, updates, and related content.

Subscription is voluntary.

Your email address will not be added to the newsletter simply because you contacted the website for another reason.

A third-party email service provider may be used to manage subscriptions and deliver email. If so, that provider will process subscriber information on behalf of this website in accordance with its own privacy and security practices.

Every newsletter will include an unsubscribe option. You may withdraw your consent and unsubscribe at any time.

After you unsubscribe, some limited information may be retained when necessary to maintain suppression records, document consent history, comply with legal obligations, or ensure you are not accidentally added back to the mailing list.

3. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics to understand better how visitors use the site.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

  • pages visited;
  • approximate geographic location;
  • browser and device type;
  • operating system;
  • referral source;
  • how visitors arrived at the website;
  • time spent on pages;
  • interactions with website features; and
  • general usage and traffic information.

This information helps identify which articles are being read, how visitors find the website, how the site is being used, and where improvements may be helpful.

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to distinguish visitors and measure website activity.

Google may process information collected through Google Analytics in accordance with Google’s privacy policies and terms.

4. Cookies

Cookies are small files or pieces of information that websites may store on your device.

This website may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as:

  • website functionality;
  • analytics;
  • security;
  • remembering preferences; and
  • measuring website traffic and usage.

Some cookies may be placed by third-party services used by this website, including Google Analytics.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect how some website features operate.

If a cookie consent or preference tool is available on the website, you may also use it to manage your choices.

5. How Information Is Used

Information collected through this website may be used to:

  • operate and maintain the website;
  • understand how visitors use the website;
  • improve website content and usability;
  • respond to questions or messages;
  • send newsletters to people who have subscribed;
  • protect the website against spam, abuse, fraud, or security threats;
  • troubleshoot technical problems; and
  • comply with applicable legal obligations.

Personal information will not be used for purposes that are materially different from those described here without appropriate notice or consent where required.

6. Sharing of Information

Jerry Hudson does not sell or rent personal information.

Information may be shared with service providers when necessary to operate the website. These may include companies that provide:

  • website hosting;
  • analytics;
  • email newsletter delivery;
  • website security;
  • spam protection;
  • technical services; or
  • other services necessary to operate the website.

These providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and contractual obligations.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to a lawful request, protect legal rights, investigate abuse or security concerns, or protect the safety of the website or others.

7. Third-Party Websites and Services

This website contains links to third-party websites, articles, videos, documents, organizations, and other resources.

Following one of these links may allow the third party to collect information from you.

Jerry Hudson does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites or services. You should review their privacy policies if you have questions about how they collect or use your information.

A link to another website does not mean that this website is responsible for that site’s privacy or data practices.

8. Embedded Content

Some pages may contain embedded content from third-party services, such as videos, social media posts, documents, or other media.

Embedded content may behave in much the same way as if you had visited the third-party website directly. Those services may collect information, use cookies, or track interactions with their embedded content in accordance with their own privacy practices.

9. Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or as required for legitimate operational, security, recordkeeping, or legal purposes.

Analytics information may be retained in accordance with the retention settings configured in Google Analytics.

Newsletter subscription information may be retained while you remain subscribed. Certain records may continue to be retained after unsubscribing when necessary to document consent, honor unsubscribe requests, or meet legal obligations.

10. Data Security

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

However, no website, internet transmission, database, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should therefore use reasonable care when deciding what personal information you provide online.

11. International Processing

Some third-party services used by this website may operate or store information outside Canada.

As a result, information may be processed or stored in another country and may be subject to the laws and lawful access requirements of that jurisdiction.

12. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live and the circumstances involved, you may have rights regarding your personal information under applicable privacy laws.

You may contact Jerry Hudson to request information about personal information you have directly provided through the website, or to request that inaccurate information be corrected or that information be deleted where appropriate and legally permitted.

You may also:

  • unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time;
  • decline to subscribe to the newsletter;
  • manage cookies through your browser;
  • use available cookie preference controls; and
  • limit certain analytics activity using privacy tools provided by your browser or third parties.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect uses of information that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

13. Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed toward children.

Jerry Hudson does not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through this website.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through the website and you would like that information reviewed or removed, please use the contact information below.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, services being used, legal requirements, or privacy practices.

The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised when the policy is changed.
