Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 18, 2025
1. Data collected
This site is primarily static. We may collect minimal data such as form submissions (e.g., contact form) and operational logs (error logs, server access logs). Comments or webhooks, if enabled, include the data you provide when posting or configuring them.
If privacy-friendly analytics are enabled, the following high-level, non-identifying metrics are recorded:
- Country (geolocation at country level)
- Number of page visits
- Number of visitors
- Devices (device type)
- Browsers
- Referrers
- Bounce rate
2. Cookies and storage
Local storage is used for preferences (theme, comment drafts) and session cookies are used for admin authentication. These are functional only and not used for ad tracking.
A simple cookie tracks whether you are a returning visitor; this flag stays in your browser until cleared and is not sent to analytics.
3. Analytics
If enabled, Vercel Web Analytics or similar privacy-friendly analytics may collect aggregated, non-identifying metrics such as country, visits, visitors, device type, browser, referrer, and bounce rate. No cross-site ad tracking is performed.
4. Data retention
Form submissions and admin actions are retained only as long as needed to operate the site and respond to you. Logs used for troubleshooting are rotated regularly. Analytics data is stored in aggregate form.
5. Third-party services
Embedded content and integrations may set their own cookies or collect usage data. Key services and their policies:
- YouTube (embeds + Data API for latest uploads): Terms, Privacy, API Services Terms
- Spotify (playlist embed): Terms, Privacy
- Discord (webhooks / community links): Terms, Privacy
- Formspree (contact form backend): Terms, Privacy
- GitHub (admin sign-in and commits): Terms, Privacy
- Vercel Web Analytics (if enabled): Terms, Privacy
If you sign in to the admin panel, authentication and repository edits use the GitHub API. GitHub may process your account data to complete sign-in and commits. YouTube Data API access is used read-only to surface latest uploads; no sensitive scopes are requested.
6. How data is used
Data is used to operate the site, respond to messages, and improve content. Contact form submissions are used solely to reply to you. Webhook configuration is used to deliver notifications you opt into.
7. Sharing
Data is not sold. It may be shared with service providers strictly to run the site (hosting, analytics) or if required by law.
8. Security
We use HTTPS and limit admin access via authentication and allowlists. No system is perfectly secure—do not submit sensitive personal information through this site.
9. Your rights and choices
You can disable embeds via browser settings, block cookies, or contact us to remove provided content where feasible. You may request access, correction, or deletion of information you have provided; we will honor requests where technically feasible and legally permitted.
10. Children
This site is not directed to children under 13. Do not submit information about children.
11. Governing law
This policy is governed by the laws of Australia, specifically the State of Victoria. If local law grants you additional rights, those still apply.
12. Complaints
If you believe your privacy rights have been infringed, contact us first via contact.html. If unresolved, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC): oaic.gov.au/privacy/privacy-complaints.
