Who we are

Diary of an Introvert in the Workplace is a blog written by Illesse Trevis. For anything to do with your information, email info@introvertintheworkplace.com.

What we collect and why

When you get in touch. The contact form sends us your name, email address, subject and message, so we can reply. It arrives as an email and is kept in our mailbox for as long as the conversation needs, then deleted.

When you subscribe. We keep your email address with our email provider, Mailjet, to send you the newsletter. Every email has a link to unsubscribe, or you can email us and we'll remove you.

When you take the introvert type test. Your answers stay in your browser. They aren't sent to us or stored, and the PDF of your result is made on your own device.

When you read a page. We count how many times each page is read. The count is just a number per page: it holds nothing about you and sets no cookie.

Spam protection

To keep bots out of our forms, Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a real person is filling them in. It only loads once you start using a form, and it doesn't set tracking cookies. Cloudflare's privacy policy explains what it processes.

Cookies and analytics

We'd like to know which posts people read, so we can write more of what helps. When you first visit, we ask whether that's all right.

• If you accept, Google Analytics sets cookies (named `_ga` and `_ga_` followed by letters) to count visits, and the Meta Pixel sets a cookie (`_fbp`) so we can see whether our Facebook and Instagram posts bring readers here.
• If you say no, neither sets any cookies. Google Analytics may still send a simple, cookie-free signal that a page was viewed, which can't be used to recognise you.

Your choice is remembered in your browser (as `breeze-consent`), so we don't ask on every page. You can change it any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page.

Who helps us run the site

• Microsoft Azure hosts the site, in the UK.
• Mailjet sends our emails and keeps the newsletter list.
• Cloudflare runs the spam check on our forms.
• Google (Analytics) and Meta (the Pixel) measure visits, only if you accept cookies.

We don't sell your information or share it with anyone else.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email us and we'll reply within a month. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
