Privacy policy

What this site knows about you, which is next to nothing.

The short version

This site collects no personal data, sets no cookies and loads nothing from third-party services. It counts its visits with an anonymous tool hosted on my own server, and that's the whole story. This page remains, in all likelihood, the shortest regulatory reading of your week.

Data controller

Maël Soucaze, publisher of the site, reachable through my digital business card. The legal notice identifies the hosting provider. Given what follows, "data controller" is mostly an honorary title.

No personal data collection

The site is fully static, with no accounts, no forms, no comments and no advertising trackers. Fonts, scripts and images are all served from my own domains, so displaying a page triggers no request to any third party. The Atom feed requires no registration and doesn't identify its readers.

Audience measurement

The site counts its visits with Umami, a tool self-hosted on my server, so no data leaves for anyone else. Measurement happens without cookies or identifiers, from aggregate statistics (page views, referrers, device type) that can neither identify you nor follow you across the web, which is why no consent banner ever pesters you. It rests on the legitimate, and rather relatable, interest of knowing whether anyone reads me.

Local storage

When you switch the theme or the language, your choice lands in your browser's localStorage so the site can remember it on your next visit. These two values never leave your device, travel with no request to the server, cannot identify you, and vanish when you clear your browsing data. They aren't cookies, and your taste in dark mode stays strictly between you and your browser.

Server logs

Like any web server, mine keeps technical logs: IP address, requested page, timestamp, declared browser. They serve security (spotting attacks and abuse) and troubleshooting, under the legitimate-interest basis of Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). They stay on the server, in Germany, until log rotation overwrites them, feed no profiling, and go to no one.

External services

Links on this site, to GitHub, Ko-fi or my business card for instance, take you to services with privacy policies of their own; nothing loads from those domains until you click.

Your rights

The GDPR grants you rights of access, rectification, erasure and objection, among others. Since this site holds no data about you, there's little to exercise them on, but you can write to me with any question and, if you believe your rights are being ignored, lodge a complaint with your data protection authority (in France, the Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés (CNIL)).

Updates

This policy will change if the site ever grows features that warrant it, comments for instance. It was last updated on June 10, 2026.
