What kind of data does my website collect?

Only data that is absolutely necessary to serve this website to you (public IP address and user agent string).

Your user agent string contains your browser and version, and operating system and version.

Your IP address and user agent string are captured in web server software logs.

I use these logs to help detect and remedy potential cybersecurity threats, and troubleshoot technical issues.

Does this information get shared with anyone?

Server logs are never shared with anyone else, unless required by law.

Occasionally, I may need to ask others for advice on how to solve a technical issue, which may require sharing a part of a log with a third-party. In such cases, personal information (such as IP addresses) will be removed before sharing logs.

I will never sell your personal information to anyone!

How long is this information kept for?

Web server software logs are kept for 14 days.
