Welcome to my personal website. I value your privacy and believe that the social contract should include this basic level of respect, which is why this policy is written in plain, simple, and accessible language.
The short version: I don’t want your data, I don’t sell your data, and I only keep what you actively and explicitly choose to give me.
No Commercial or Financial Interests
This is a personal space.
- There are no advertisements on this site and there never will be.
- I will never feature sponsored posts, use affiliate links, or profit financially from your visit or your data.
Data Collection and Retention
I operate with a no-logs policy to the best of my knowledge and ability.
- What I don’t track: I do not intentionally log your IP address, browsing history, or website activity.
- What I do keep: The only data knowingly retained is information you explicitly and voluntarily contribute—such as your name, email, or website link, and only if you choose to leave a comment or use a contact form.
- The technical reality: I am a human running a website, not an IT department. While I strive to prevent data retention, it is entirely possible that background data is being logged without my awareness—whether by standard server defaults, hosting providers, or internet infrastructure. I cannot guarantee absolute, zero data retention, but the principles remain.
Third-Party Services & Spam Filters
Because this is a personal site maintained by one person, I rely on third-party services to help keep things running smoothly and securely.
- No control over third parties: I have no control over how these external services handle data.
- Spam prevention: If you leave a comment or submit a form, your input will likely be processed by a third-party automated spam detection service. This is necessary to keep the site readable, but it means your contributed text, IP address, and browser signature may be analyzed by them according to their own privacy policies.
- Unfortunate reality: I ask you to accept this because I cannot realistically handle the torrent of spam without using these services. If you don’t want your comment processed, simply don’t submit your data.
Expectations & Disclaimer
Please note that this document is a statement of intent, not a binding legal contract. It represents the privacy standard I actively strive to maintain and follow.
