I am Chris, and this is The Frictionless Man. My goal is to share useful ideas without adding extra weight to your life. Because I value your time and attention, I treat your data with the same respect.
1. The Data I Collect & Why
I believe in minimal data collection. I only collect information that helps me deliver better content to you:
- Newsletter: When you subscribe, I collect your email address and name so I can send you “one useful idea” each week.
- Analytics: I use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site. This helps me see which ideas resonate and which pages are difficult to navigate.
2. Cookies & Tracking
This site uses cookies—small text files placed on your device—to improve your experience.
- Google Analytics Cookies: These collect anonymous data, such as your browser type, the pages you visit, and how long you stay. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
- MailPoet Cookies: These may be used to remember if you have already subscribed so you aren’t asked twice.
- Control: You can choose to disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, though it may affect how some parts of the site function.
3. Third-Party Services
I do not sell your data. I only share it with the following “Frictionless” partners to keep the site running:
- MailPoet: They manage my email delivery. By subscribing, you acknowledge that your information will be transferred to MailPoet for processing.
- Google: Google Analytics processes data on my behalf to provide reports on website traffic.
4. Your Rights & Control
You own your data. At any time, you have the right to:
- Unsubscribe: Every email I send has a one-click unsubscribe link at the bottom.
- Access/Delete: You can contact me at
chris@thefrictionlessman.comto request a copy of the data I hold or to ask me to delete it entirely.
5. Contact Me
