Privacy Policy

Short version: we only collect what's needed to run the site, and we never sell or share your data beyond the service providers listed below.

What we collect

Login info — your email, name, and profile picture from Google sign-in, but only if you sign in to the admin area. Analytics — page views, clicks, device, and browser info, but only if you accept analytics cookies. Anonymous visitors who reject the banner are not tracked. That's it. We do not collect anything else, and we do not sell or rent this data to anyone.

Why we collect it

Login info is used solely to grant access to the admin area. Analytics is used to understand which articles people read so we can improve the site. The legal basis is your consent for analytics, and legitimate interest for admin authentication.

How long we keep it

Login info: kept as long as your admin account is active. You can ask us to delete it at any time. Analytics: 14 months (the Google Analytics default), then deleted automatically.

Who we share it with

Google processes the data on our behalf as a sub-processor: Firebase Authentication for sign-in, and Google Analytics for usage measurement. Data may be transferred to the United States under standard contractual clauses. We do not share your data with anyone else.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, and port your data, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise any of these, email the address in the Operator section below.
