A few things worth writing down.

The fine print, made short

Privacy.

Short version: this site doesn't track you. Here's everything that does and doesn't happen when you visit.

NOT HERE01

Nothing watching you

No analytics, no ad networks, no tracking pixels, no comment service and no cookie banner, because there's nothing to ask your permission for.

YOUR BROWSER02

What stays on your device

  • Light or dark: your choice is remembered in local storage and never leaves your device.
  • Search downloads a small index and runs on your machine. What you type isn't sent anywhere.
  • Fonts come from this site, not Google or anyone else.
CONTACT FORM03

Messages you send me

The contact form sends your name, email and message through Web3Forms, a form-to-email service, to my inbox. I use it to write back and for nothing else. No mailing list, no follow-ups you didn't ask for.

EMAIL & GUESTBOOK04

Email stays email

If you email me, it sits in my inbox like any other email. Nothing appears on the guestbook unless you asked to sign it, and only with the name you gave me.

HOSTING05

Plain files on a server

The site is static HTML on DigitalOcean. Like any web server, it keeps standard request logs (IP address, time, page requested) to run and protect the service.
