Privacy

This policy applies to the dedicated Human Factors Cast Foundation site. The podcast website and external services have their own privacy terms.

Information you give us
If you email us, we receive the address and information you choose to include. We use it to respond to your inquiry and manage the related Foundation work. This site does not offer an account, newsletter signup, or contact form.
Technical information
The site’s hosting service may process basic request data such as IP address, browser details, and pages requested to deliver the site, protect it, and diagnose technical problems. Google Fonts serves the Roboto typeface and may receive basic technical request information when the font loads. We also use Metricool to count visits and page views. Its website tracker sends an asynchronous request to Metricool; Metricool says this tracker does not set cookies, store IP addresses, or assign visitor identifiers. Read Metricool’s privacy policy for more information. We use optional Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads measurement after you accept measurement. These services may use cookies and receive browser and device information, page addresses, and interactions. We measure deliberate clicks to podcast episodes or listening destinations, cited educational sources or conference organizers, and Givebutter. A listening destination click does not confirm playback, an educational reference click does not confirm learning, and a Givebutter click does not confirm a completed gift. We retain a separate donation-interest event on selected resource support links. Google signals and advertising personalization stay disabled. Rejecting measurement prevents these Google tags from loading on subsequent pages. You can change your choice using “Measurement choices” in the footer; your choice is stored in your browser. Changing to reject does not delete cookies already stored, which you can clear in your browser. Read Google’s privacy policy and the Google Analytics opt-out information. An educational page embeds a YouTube video. Loading or playing it may send technical information to YouTube under Google's privacy terms.
External services
Donation links open Givebutter. Membership links open Patreon. Podcast links open humanfactorscast.media or humanfactorsminute.com. A YouTube player appears on the human factors, UX, and ergonomics guide. Those services may collect information under their own policies. Givebutter and Patreon handle payment details entered on their pages; this Foundation site does not collect card numbers.
Your choices
You can decide what to include when you email us. Contact us to ask about information you sent directly to the Foundation. You can also use your browser controls for cookies and site data.
Updates
We may update this notice when the site or its services change. The effective date above will change with a material update.
Volunteer application measurement
For volunteer recruitment, optional Google Ads cross-domain measurement can connect a visit on this Foundation site with a completed application on our Digital Media Lab site, hfcdml.com. Related links may carry a Google measurement parameter. The lab requests its own optional measurement choice and measures completion only after an application is saved. Application answers and contact details are not sent in the conversion event. Application submission does not confirm acceptance or onboarding.
