Overview
This website is a personal portfolio and blog. I do not actively collect personal data from visitors unless it is voluntarily provided (for example, through comments).
Basic website analytics are used to understand how the site is used and to improve performance and content.
Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics to track general usage data such as:
- pages visited
- time spent on the site
- general location (country-level)
- device and browser information
This data is collected anonymously and is used purely to improve the website and user experience. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.
Comments
If visitors leave comments on the site, the data shown in the comments form is collected, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/
Once approved, your comment and profile picture (if applicable) are visible publicly.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors may be able to download and extract this information.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as YouTube videos or other media).
Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the external website directly. These third-party sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction with their content.

If you request a password reset (if applicable), your IP address may be included in the reset email.
