Overview
Welcome to jelloeater.me. Your privacy is deeply respected and prioritized. This site is a personal technology blog and digital garden operated by Jelloeater (contact: jello@jelloeater.me). The core philosophy of this site is minimalism, transparency, and data minimization: no intrusive user surveillance, no third-party ad tracking, no profiling, and no selling or trading of personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and how your data rights are respected when you visit the site or interact with its feeds and resources.
Information We Collect and Why
1. Web Analytics & Usage Statistics
To understand broad traffic patterns (such as page view counts, referrer sources, and country-level geolocation), lightweight and privacy-respecting analytics are utilized:
- Tinylytics: An independent, privacy-first analytics tool that counts hits and emoji kudos without collecting personally identifiable information (PII), tracking cookies, or cross-site tracking.
- Aggregated Telemetry: Server-level or basic aggregated analytics do not track individuals across the web, nor do they build persistent user advertising profiles.
2. Embedded Content and Third-Party Services
Some pages may include optional embedded widgets or external links:
- Comments (Giscus / GitHub Discussions): Page commenting is powered by Giscus, an open-source commenting system leveraging GitHub Discussions. When you leave a comment, you interact via your GitHub account subject to GitHub’s privacy terms. No personal comment data is harvested or sold.
- Newsletter (Optional Subscription): If you voluntarily subscribe to the newsletter via the embedded subscription form, your email address is used solely for delivering newsletter updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email.
- External Links & Webrings: Links to other blogs, IndieWeb webrings, social profiles (Mastodon, Bluesky, GitHub), and external tools are provided for reference. External sites maintain their own respective privacy policies.
Cookies and Local Storage
- No Advertising Cookies: This site does not set any advertising, targeting, or commercial cross-site tracking cookies.
- Local Storage / Session: If any client-side preferences (such as light/dark mode toggles or UI state) are used, they remain strictly local in your browser and are never transmitted to external analytics servers.
Data Retention and Rights
- Data Retention: We retain voluntarily submitted contact emails or newsletter registrations only for the duration necessary to maintain communication or subscription service.
- Your Rights: Under applicable data protection regulations (including GDPR, CCPA, and global privacy standards), you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information you have submitted (such as newsletter emails).
- Contact: To exercise your privacy rights or ask questions regarding these practices, please reach out directly to Jelloeater at jello@jelloeater.me.
