What is collected

Hosting logs. This site is hosted on GitHub Pages. As a normal part of providing that hosting, GitHub automatically logs visitor IP addresses for security purposes. This happens for every visitor to every GitHub Pages site, regardless of whether they have a GitHub account, and is outside this site's control. GitHub's own privacy practices govern this logging; see GitHub's Privacy Statement.

Contact form. This site has one form, used to send a message to the site owner. It is processed by Formspree, a third-party service that relays the message by email. Formspree receives and briefly stores the content of whatever is typed into that form. No other information is requested or required — there are no name, email, or address fields. If a visitor chooses to include contact information in their message, that is their choice; doing so is not required and no reply should be expected. See Formspree's Privacy Policy.

Bot protection. The contact form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks whether a visitor submitting the form is a real person rather than an automated script. Turnstile briefly processes some technical signals from the visitor's browser (such as IP address) to perform this check. See Cloudflare's Turnstile Privacy Notice.

What is not collected

No accounts, no cookies for tracking or advertising, no analytics, no comments system, no newsletter, no data shared with advertisers.
