2. Data we may process
Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited may be processed automatically by the hosting stack and analytics tools if enabled. This data is used in aggregate and not to build a personal profile.
If you contact me, I process the information you send, such as your name, email, and message content, to respond to your request. Contact data is not used for marketing.

5. Third parties
Hosting, caching, and analytics providers may process technical data on my behalf, and only to keep the website running. External services you open through links, such as GitHub or Telegram, apply their own privacy policies.
6. Retention
Technical logs are kept for a limited period needed for security and operations. Contact messages are kept as long as needed to handle the conversation, then deleted or anonymized.

You can manage non-essential cookies through Cookie Settings. You may also ask about access, correction, or deletion of personal data you previously sent to me, subject to applicable law. Write to the contact address on this site and I will answer within a reasonable time.
