We use Google Analytics (a service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) to analyze website traffic and user behavior. Google Analytics places cookies on your device and sends anonymized data to Google's servers. We have enabled IP anonymization, meaning your full IP address is never stored. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Google's Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
5.2 Google Fonts
This website loads fonts from Google Fonts (Google LLC) to provide a premium reading experience. When your browser loads a font, Google may log the request, including your IP address and browser information. We use Google Fonts via a direct link (not local self-hosting). Google's Privacy Policy applies: policies.google.com/privacy.
5.3 GitHub Pages (Hosting)
Our website is hosted on GitHub Pages, a service provided by GitHub, Inc. (subsidiary of Microsoft Corporation). GitHub Pages automatically logs certain server-side data, including IP addresses and request logs, as part of standard hosting operations. GitHub's Privacy Statement: GitHub Privacy Statement.
5.4 Cloudflare (CDN & Security)
We may use Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107) for content delivery and security protection. Cloudflare processes network traffic for security and performance purposes and may store access logs for a limited period. Cloudflare's Privacy Policy: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
6. Data Retention
We do not retain personal data longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Our specific retention periods are:
- Contact form submissions: Retained for a maximum of 12 months from the date of submission. After this period, messages and all associated personal data are permanently deleted from our systems.
- Google Analytics data: Retained for 26 months in anonymized, aggregated form, as per Google Analytics default settings. No personally identifiable data is retained in Analytics.
- Server access logs (GitHub Pages / Cloudflare): Retained per the respective service provider's policies — typically 30–90 days before automatic deletion.
After the applicable retention period, all personal data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. You may request early deletion of your data at any time by contacting us (see Section 9).
7. Data Security
We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect it against unauthorized access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Our security measures include:
- HTTPS encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our website is encrypted using SSL/TLS technology, indicated by the padlock icon in your browser's address bar.
- Hosting security: Our hosting provider (GitHub Pages / Cloudflare) maintains industry-standard security infrastructure, including DDoS protection and access controls.
- Minimal data collection: We only collect the minimum data necessary — reducing the risk and impact of any potential data incident.
- Access restrictions: Only authorized personnel have access to any personal data submitted through our contact form.
However, please be aware that no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information using commercially acceptable means, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
