Summary
MMA Dude is a static blog. We don't run accounts, we don't sell anything, and we don't run a comments system. The only data we collect is anonymous analytics about page visits via Google Analytics 4.
What We Collect
Through Google Analytics 4 we receive standard, anonymous web analytics data, including:
- Pages you view on this site and the order in which you view them
- How long you stay on each page
- Approximate location (city/country level), determined by your IP address
- Device type, browser, and operating system
- Referring site (which link or search brought you here)
We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information.
Cookies
Google Analytics sets cookies on your device to recognize repeat visits in aggregate. These cookies do not personally identify you. You can disable cookies in your browser, install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, or use private browsing — none of those will affect how the site works for you.
How We Use This Data
Aggregate analytics help us understand which articles are useful, which broken links to fix, and where people drop off. That's it. We do not sell, share, or transfer this data to any third party other than Google (the analytics provider).
Third Parties
- Google Analytics 4: for anonymous traffic statistics. Google's privacy policy.
- Google Fonts: font files are loaded from Google's servers. Google may receive your IP address as part of this request.
AI Crawlers
This site explicitly allows AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Perplexity, Google-Extended, etc.) to index our content for retrieval-augmented generation. See /llms.txt and /robots.txt for details. We do not collect any data from AI crawlers — they read public pages and that's the end of our involvement.
Your Rights
Because we don't store personal data, there's no individual record to access, correct, or delete. If you'd like Google Analytics to forget you, the opt-out add-on linked above is the cleanest path.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13.
Changes to This Policy
If this policy changes meaningfully, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change to reflect that. Material changes will be summarized at the top of this page for at least 30 days.
