Privacy

How this site handles your data. Short version: as little as possible.

Data collected

This site collects as little personal data as it can. No account, no login, no tracking pixel on its pages. The only personal data it takes is what you type into the contact form or the newsletter form.

The contact form sends your name, email address, and message to me via Resend. This data is used solely to reply to your message and is not stored beyond what email providers retain by default.

Newsletter

If you subscribe to the newsletter, your email address is stored on a server I run myself, in Germany, together with when you asked to subscribe and when you confirmed. The issues are sent from that same server, and no other service sees the list. It is used only to send you the newsletter. Subscribing takes two steps: you only start receiving issues after clicking the link in the confirmation email, and an address that never confirms is deleted after 30 days. The form is protected from bots by Cloudflare Turnstile.

The issues carry no tracking pixel and no tracked links: I do not know whether you open an issue or what you click in it. Until October 2026 the newsletter was sent by Kit, whose emails do count opens and clicks and offer no way to switch it off. If you subscribed before then, your address is moving to my server, and Kit's copy will be deleted.

Every issue has an unsubscribe link, and mail apps that support it show an Unsubscribe button too: either removes you at once. After that I keep your address only so that nothing reaches you again. Write to me and I will delete it entirely.

Comments

Blog post comments are powered by Giscus, which uses GitHub Discussions. Commenting requires a GitHub account. Refer to GitHub's privacy policy for details on how your data is handled.

Hosting

This site is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may collect standard server logs (IP address, browser, request time) as part of normal infrastructure operation. See Vercel's privacy policy.

Analytics

This site uses Umami to understand which pages get read, in aggregate. Umami is cookieless and privacy-first: it sets no cookies, does not follow you across sites, and collects no personally identifiable information. It records anonymous, aggregated data such as page views, referrer, and approximate country, browser, and device type. The tracker is served first-party from this domain. See Umami's privacy policy for details.

Cookies

This site sets no first-party cookies. Third-party services (Giscus/GitHub) may set their own cookies when you interact with them.
