Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1/15/2026

TL;DR

I respect your privacy. This is a personal portfolio site, not a business. I use self-hosted, privacy-friendly analytics to see which projects people find interesting. No tracking, no ads, no selling your data—ever.

What I Collect

Analytics (Optional - Requires Your Consent)

If you click "Sounds good!" on the cookie banner, I collect:

  • Pages you visit
  • How long you stay
  • What device/browser you're using (basic info)
  • Which projects you click on

What I DON'T collect:

  • Your name, email, or any personal info
  • Your exact location (IP addresses are anonymized)
  • Tracking across other websites
  • Anything that identifies you personally

Server Logs

Like most websites, my hosting provider may keep basic server logs (IP addresses, timestamps) for security purposes. These are automatically deleted after a short period.

How I Use This Data

Simple: to make this portfolio better. I want to know:

  • Which projects get the most interest
  • If people are actually reading my blog posts
  • What content to focus on
  • If the site is broken somewhere

That's it. I'm not selling anything, showing ads, or building user profiles.

Technology I Use

I use Umami Analytics—a privacy-focused, open-source analytics tool. It's self-hosted on my own server, so your data never goes to Google, Facebook, or any third parties.

Umami doesn't use traditional cookies. Instead, it stores a simple preference in your browser's localStorage to remember your choice.

Your Rights & Choices

  • Opt-out anytime: Click "No thanks" on the banner, or clear your browser's localStorage
  • Change your mind: Clear localStorage and refresh the page to see the banner again
  • Request deletion: Since I don't collect personal data, there's nothing to delete—but if you have concerns, contact me
  • Access your data: The analytics are anonymous, so there's no "your data" to access

Third-Party Services

This site uses:

  • Vercel for hosting (see their privacy policy)
  • Self-hosted Umami for analytics (data stays on my server)

I don't use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any ad tracking.

Data Security

I take security seriously:

  • HTTPS encryption for all connections
  • Content Security Policy headers to prevent XSS attacks
  • Regular security updates
  • Self-hosted analytics (no third-party data leaks)

International Visitors

This site is hosted in the EU/US. If you're visiting from another region, your data (if you consent to analytics) will be processed there. Since everything is anonymized, this shouldn't be a privacy concern.

Children's Privacy

This site is a professional portfolio and isn't directed at children under 13. I don't knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this policy occasionally. If I make significant changes, I'll update the date at the top. For minor tweaks, I won't notify you—this is a portfolio, not a SaaS product.

Questions?

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how I handle data, feel free to reach out via the contact form or email. I'm happy to answer!

The honest version: I'm a developer showing off my work. I genuinely care about privacy (it's why I built my own analytics instead of using Google's). If you don't want to be tracked, just click "No thanks" and you won't be. No hard feelings. 🙂
