Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 17, 2025

Hey there! đź‘‹

Thanks for visiting Raffiapalm.com. I’m Goke Pelemo. I’m committed to being transparent about how I handle your information when you use my site. This privacy policy explains what I collect, why I collect it, and what I do with it—all in plain English.

What Raffiapalm Is All About

Raffiapalm.com helps product teams discover valuable insights from books and blogs to make better decisions at work. Think of it as your curated library of product management wisdom, drawn from my experience reading over 250 books and working in the tech industry for more than 12 years.

What Information I Collect

When You Comment

If you leave a comment on any of my articles, I’ll collect:

  • Your name (whatever you choose to share)
  • Your email address (this stays private—I won’t share it)
  • Your website URL (if you want to include it)
  • The content of your comment
  • Your IP address (for spam protection)

Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, I automatically collect some technical information:

  • Your IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Pages you visit and time spent on them
  • How you found my site (referrer information)
  • Device information (mobile, desktop, etc.)

How I Use Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help make your experience better. Here’s what I use them for:

Essential Cookies

  • Comment cookies: Save your name and email so you don’t have to retype them (last 1 year)

Analytics Cookies

I use analytics tools to understand how people use my site so I can make it better. This helps me see which articles are most helpful and where I should focus my efforts.

Third-Party Content

Sometimes I embed content from other sites—like YouTube videos, Twitter posts, or images from other sources. When you interact with this embedded content, those other sites might track you according to their own privacy policies. I don’t control what they do, but I try to only embed content from reputable sources.

What I Do With Your Information

I use your information to:

  • Provide and improve the site experience
  • Respond to your comments and questions
  • Send you updates (only if you opt in)
  • Prevent spam and abuse
  • Understand how people use the site to make it better

What I don’t do:

  • Sell your information to anyone
  • Send you spam
  • Share your email with third parties
  • Track you across other websites

How Long I Keep Your Data

  • Comments: I keep them indefinitely so conversations remain intact and useful for future readers
  • Analytics data: Aggregated and anonymized, typically 26 months
  • Cookies: Various periods as described above

Your Rights and Choices

You have several rights regarding your data:

Access and Control

  • View all the personal data I have about you
  • Delete your comments (though this might break conversation threads)
  • Request data deletion

Opting Out

  • You can disable cookies in your browser (though some site features might not work)
  • Unsubscribe from any emails I send
  • Request that I stop processing your data

Data Portability

If you want to take your data elsewhere, I can provide you with a file containing all your personal information in a standard format.

Security

I take reasonable steps to protect your information, including:

  • Using secure connections (HTTPS)
  • Regular security updates
  • Limited access to personal data
  • Secure hosting infrastructure

However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. I do my best, but I can’t guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

This site isn’t intended for children under 13. If I discover I’ve collected information from a child under 13, I’ll delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this privacy policy occasionally. When I do, I’ll post the changes here and update the “last updated” date. For significant changes, I might also post a notice on the site or send an email if you’re subscribed to updates.

The Bottom Line

I built Raffiapalm to share knowledge and help product teams make better decisions. I respect your privacy and will always be transparent about how I handle your information. This isn’t just legal boilerplate—it’s a commitment to treating you and your data with respect.

This privacy policy is written in plain English because I believe you shouldn’t need a law degree to understand how your data is used. If anything is unclear, please reach out and I’ll be happy to explain.
