That way, we know what material is most popular and get a better idea of what people want to read on the site. This information doesn’t record people’s identities or personal information. Neither DoktorSnake.com, nor WordPress, make any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting the website.

Neither are used for any other purpose except replying to your message or messages to Doktor Snake. Doktor Snake’s email system is powered by FastMail, and this is where your contact information is stored – that is, on FastMail’s cloud servers. Email is accessed from the FastMail cloud by Doktor Snake via his Linux-powered laptop. But no messages are actually downloaded. Using the IMAP protocol, the laptop access FastMail’s cloud servers to view and reply to messages.
