I believe that everybody has an inalienable right to privacy. This website is built around the same idea. I’ve used some privacy intrusive services on this website but only when absolutely necessary. So, to help you better protect your privacy, I am providing this statement explaining the information practices that are followed in this website and the choices you can make about the way your information may be collected, used and disclosed. To make this statement easy to find, I have linked it on the main menu of the website.
This is a static website and there are no accounts on the website itself. But, for the sake of ease of operation of the website, I have integrated some third party services that may track, collect, store information or set cookies.
Your name and email address are collected when you use the contact form to message me. The information provided by you is collected and stored securely using Google’s services. Please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy for information of Google’s privacy practices.
I use the information provided by you to respond to you directly, when necessary. I will never use the information provided by you for unnecessary solicitation or to spam you.
The following are the other third party services that are used with this website for storage, propagation and security of data:
YouTube videos may be embedded on some pages of the website. YouTube embeds are rewritten as to not use cookies. Please refer to YouTube’s Privacy Guidelines for details.
Tweets from Twitter may be embedded on some pages of the website. These tweets are hosted locally and do not use the embed JavaScript provided by Twitter. As an extra precaution, the tweets have been embedded with the do-not-track parameter set to true, which is a switch to opt out of having information from the website used for personalization by Twitter. Please refer to the Twitter Privacy Policy for further information.
This website uses GoatCounter web analytics, an open source and privacy friendly web analytics platform. GoatCounter does not track users with unique identifiers. It uses a non-identifiable hash to identify unique visits to the website, without using cookies.
This analytics service helps me view useful statistics such as browser information, location, and screen size of the visitors who visit this website, and also helps me keep track of referring sites.
GoatCounter analytics ignores the Do-Not-Track header by default. But it still provides a way to implement it, which has been done for this website so that the service respects your Do-Not-Track settings.
You can view the GoatCounter privacy policy and the GDPR consent notices for further information on the service’s policies.
