I do not track unique visitors across sessions, and I do not track how long you stay on the site or where you go after you leave.

How do I collect this data?

The personal data (IP, name, e-mail, website) is collected using a self-hosted instance of Isso, an open-source commenting platform.

The non-personal data is collected using a self-hosted instance of GoatCounter, an open-source privacy-friendly web analytics platform.

How will I use the data?

The optional personal data is used to display your comment on the site. The IP address is used to prevent spam and abuse.

The non personal data is used to generate statistics about the site, such as the number of visitors per day, or the most popular pages and referrers. This data is used to improve the site. You can see the statistics generated from this data on the public stats page.

All data collected is publicly available on the site, either in the form of comments or statistics.

I am not using the data for any other purpose.

How do I store the data?

The data is stored on a server hosted by Vultr. The server is located in Paris, France.

The server follows industry best practices for security, including automatic security updates, a strict Content Security Policy, a firewall, key-based SSH access, etc.

How long will I store the data?

The IP address is stored until the comment is moderated. After that, the IP address is deleted.

The rest of the data is stored indefinitely.
