Privacy

What is collected, and by whom

To know which pages and posts are read, the site uses Umami, a visit statistics service that doesn't use cookies and doesn't identify people. On each visit it records:

• the page visited and the site you came from (for example, Google or LinkedIn);
• the browser, the operating system, the type of device and the screen size;
• the browser language;
• the country, approximately, estimated from the network address (the address itself isn't stored);
• a few specific clicks: on the “About me” button on the home page and on the links on the contact page (only which channel was clicked);
• an anonymous visit identifier, calculated from these technical data, which doesn't tell who you are or let anyone follow you across other sites.

These data serve only for me to understand what works on the site. They aren't sold or combined with anything.

Hosting

The site runs on AWS (Amplify). To deliver each page, the servers receive the network address, the date and time, the page requested and the browser of whoever visits, and may keep that in access logs. This happens on any site on the internet and is necessary for the site to work.

What stays only in your browser

Two pieces of information are stored on your device and aren't sent to anyone:

• your theme choice, light or dark, to remember it on your next visit;
• a note that the terminal animation on the home page has already played, which goes away when you close the tab.

The blog search also runs in your browser: what you type isn't sent anywhere.

What the site doesn't do

• it doesn't use tracking or advertising cookies;
• it doesn't show ads, or share or sell data;
• it doesn't ask for sign-up, e-mail or any personal data, and it has no form or comments;
• it doesn't load videos, maps or fonts from other sites: the fonts are served by the site itself.

Links to other sites

The site links to GitHub, LinkedIn and other addresses. When you open them, each one's privacy rules apply, and I don't control them.

Your rights and contact

Brazil's General Data Protection Law (LGPD, Law No. 13,709/2018) gives you the right to know which data is processed and to ask for correction or deletion. Since the visit statistics are anonymous, there is usually no way to link them to a person, but if you have any question or request, talk to me on LinkedIn or on GitHub. The person responsible for this site is Igor Almeida.
