Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 17th April, 2026

This page explains what information this site may receive and how I handle it.

What counts as personal information?

For this site, personal information means anything that can identify you directly or indirectly. That can include things like your name, email address, IP address, or account details if you sign in.

If information cannot reasonably be linked back to you, I treat it as non-personal information.

How might this site receive information about you?

This site may receive information in a few ordinary ways:

  • You contact me directly, for example by email or through a form.
  • You sign in to a part of the site that requires an account.
  • Your browser sends technical information that web servers normally receive, such as IP address, user agent, referrer, and request logs.

Why is that information used?

I use that information only for practical site operations, such as:

  • replying to messages you send;
  • letting you sign in, if sign-in is available;
  • keeping the site running, secure, and debug-able;
  • understanding abuse, spam, or suspicious traffic.

I do not sell your personal information. I do not share it with advertisers. I am not building a secret dossier on your thoughts about Markdown.

When could information be shared?

I do not intentionally share personal information with third parties except in a few limited cases:

  • when a service provider is needed to run the site, such as hosting, email delivery, authentication, or security tooling;
  • when you ask me to do something that requires using a service on your behalf;
  • when I have to comply with a legal obligation or protect the site from abuse or security issues.

In other words, I do not share data for fun, profit, or marketing theatre.

How long is information kept?

I try to keep personal information only for as long as it is useful for the reason it was collected. That usually means:

  • messages are kept long enough to reply and keep reasonable records;
  • account-related information is kept while the account or access is still needed;
  • logs may be kept for security, debugging, or operational purposes for a limited time.

Some data may be kept longer if the law requires it or if it is needed to investigate abuse or technical problems.

How is information protected?

I take reasonable steps to protect the information this site handles, including using trusted infrastructure and limiting access where practical. That said, no website can promise perfect security, so please avoid sending sensitive information unless it is actually necessary.

What happens if this policy changes?

If this page changes in a meaningful way, I will update it here and change the date at the top. The latest version on this page is the one that applies.

Contact me if you have any questions.
