Carus Signal (carussignal.com) is a self-hosted Ghost site, independently operated. This page explains what data we collect and how it's used.

What we collect

  • Analytics: We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand traffic — pages viewed, referral/entry sources, approximate location (from IP), and device/browser type. GA4 may set cookies to do this. This is aggregate site-usage data; it does not include post content, login credentials, or anything else that identifies you personally. Data collected this way is sent to and processed by Google, governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Newsletter / membership (if you sign up): If this site offers an email newsletter or paid membership, we store the email address you provide, through Ghost's built-in membership system. We don't sell or share this list.
  • Advertising (once AdSense is approved): If/when this site runs Google AdSense, Google may set cookies to serve and measure ads. You can control ad personalization through Google's Ads Settings.

What we don't do

  • We don't sell your personal data to third parties.
  • We don't collect more than we need to run the site and understand our audience.

Your choices

  • You can unsubscribe from any newsletter/membership email at any time via the link in the email.
  • You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using browser tools like Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.
  • To request access to or deletion of any personal data we hold about you (e.g., your newsletter email), contact us via the Contact page.

Third-party services we use

  • Ghost (self-hosted via PikaPods) — powers the site and any membership/newsletter features.
  • Cloudflare — DNS and domain management.
  • Google Analytics (GA4) — traffic analytics, in use.
  • Google AdSense (planned) — advertising, not yet in use; will be added once approved.

Changes

We'll update this page if what we collect or how we use it changes, and update the date at the top.

⚠️ [대표님 검토 필요]: 이 문서는 일반적인 개인블로그 프라이버시 정책 템플릿이며, 법률 자문이 아닙니다. GDPR(유럽 방문자)·CCPA(캘리포니아 방문자) 등 관할권별 세부 의무는 트래픽 규모·광고 승인 여부에 따라 달라질 수 있어, AdSense 승인 시점에 한 번 더 검토(가능하면 실제 법률 자문 or Google이 요구하는 표준 문구 확인) 권장.
