Real Talk: How We Actually Operate
Look, nobody likes legalese, and I hate corporate double-speak even more. So here's the straight story about what this site is, how it works, and what you can expect when you interact with us. No gimmicks, no surprises, just honest information about an honest project.
What This Site Actually Is
9to5Ninjas is my personal experiment in sharing what I've learned about AI tools, automation, and breaking free from conventional work patterns. This isn't a corporate blog or marketing machine—it's just me, testing tools, breaking things, figuring out what works, and sharing the results when they're actually useful.
Sometimes the site is down because I'm tinkering with it. Sometimes it's up and I'm still tinkering with it. That's part of the fun and the authentic nature of what we're doing here. Real development, real testing, real results.
No Mailing Lists or Data Collection
This site does not collect email addresses or maintain any mailing lists. Here's what that means:
- No email collection: We do not ask for, store, or process email addresses
- No newsletters: There are no email subscriptions or mailing lists of any kind
- No data harvesting: We do not collect personal information for marketing purposes
- No third-party sharing: Since we don't collect data, there's nothing to share or sell
Privacy & Your Information
We keep this simple because privacy should be simple:
- Website analytics: We use basic analytics to understand which content helps people and which doesn't. No personal identification, no tracking across other sites
- No email data: Since we don't collect email addresses, there's no email data to store or manage
- Comments/feedback: If you reach out directly, I might reference your question in future content (always anonymously) if it would help other people
- Data deletion: Since we don't collect personal data, there's nothing to delete
What to Expect (And What Not To)
What you can expect:
- Honest reviews and recommendations based on actual testing
- Practical tutorials that work in the real world
- Transparent communication about what works and what doesn't
- Continuous improvement and evolution of the content
- A human approach to AI and automation topics
What you shouldn't expect:
- Perfect uptime or polished corporate presentation
- Affiliate link spam or product pushing
- Generic advice copied from other sites
- Promises of overnight success or get-rich-quick schemes
- Replies to every email (though I read them all)
The Legal Stuff (But Straightforward)
Disclaimer: The content on this site represents my personal experiences and opinions. What works for me might not work for you. Do your own testing and make your own decisions. I'm not responsible if you break something while following a tutorial—that's part of learning.
Intellectual Property: The content I create is mine, but I'm not going to chase you down if you share helpful snippets with attribution. Use the information to help yourself and others.
External Links: I link to tools and resources I actually use. Some might be affiliate links (clearly marked), but I only recommend things I've tested and found valuable. Most links aren't affiliated at all.
Changes & Updates
This approach might evolve as the project grows, but the core principles won't change: independence, honesty, actual usefulness, and respect for your time and privacy. If significant changes happen, they'll be reflected in updated content on the site.
