Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 21, 2026
This site is a personal portfolio and blog. It is built to respect your privacy by default: it sets no cookies, runs no third-party advertising or tracking scripts, and does not sell or share your data.
What is collected
I run my own first-party, privacy-friendly analytics to understand which
content is useful. It records anonymous, aggregate signals only: the
page path, the referring site, and a random session identifier kept in
your browser's sessionStorage for the duration of a visit.
No names, emails, IP-based profiles, or cross-site identifiers are stored.
Browser storage (not cookies)
Your theme preference (light/dark) is saved in localStorage so the site remembers it. The analytics
session identifier lives in sessionStorage and is cleared
when you close the tab. Neither is a cookie, and neither is shared with
any third party.
Third-party services
The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which may process request metadata (such as IP address) to deliver and secure the site, as described in Cloudflare's own privacy policy. Outbound links (e.g. GitHub, LinkedIn, X) are governed by those services' policies.
Your rights
Under regulations such as the GDPR and CCPA you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data. Because this site stores no personal data tied to your identity, there is typically nothing to retrieve — but you are welcome to ask.
