TL;DR - This site collects only what you submit through the contact form (name, email, subject, message). No trackers, no ad pixels, no data sold. Cloudflare sits in front of the site for performance/security and sees standard connection metadata as part of that. Email me any time to see or delete what's on file.
$ cat data_collected.log
- Contact form submissions - name, email address, subject, and message body you voluntarily submit via the terminal contact form.
- Connection metadata - Cloudflare, as the CDN/proxy in front of this site, logs standard request data (IP address, user agent, timestamp) for DDoS protection and abuse prevention. This is Cloudflare's infrastructure-level logging, not custom analytics.
- Analytics - This site does not use any first-party analytics, tracking pixels, or telemetry scripts. No Cloudflare Web Analytics, Google Analytics, or equivalent is active.
$ cat how_data_is_used.log
- Contact form data is used solely to respond to your inquiry (security audits, research collaboration, contract work, etc).
- No data collected here is used for marketing, resold, or shared with third parties beyond what's needed to operate the site (e.g., Cloudflare as infrastructure provider).
$ cat retention_policy.log
- Contact form messages are retained for 12 months or until the inquiry is resolved, whichever is longer, then deleted.
- Server/CDN logs are retained per Cloudflare's default retention window (72 hours for standard request logs on most plan tiers).
$ cat cookies.log
- This site does not set any first-party cookies for tracking or advertising purposes.
- Cloudflare may set functional/security cookies (e.g.,
__cf_bm) as part of its bot management and DDoS protection. These are strictly necessary cookies - they contain no personal data, expire within 30 minutes of inactivity, and cannot be disabled without breaking bot protection. See Cloudflare’s cookie documentation for full details.
