Privacy

Short version: no cookies, no ads, no tracking you around the web, nothing sold. Here is what does happen, in plain words.

Anything about your data: .

Server logs

Like every web server, the one behind this site notes a few things on each visit: your IP address, date and time, the page you asked for, the page you came from, and your browser and operating system. It needs that to deliver the page and to catch errors and attacks. The logs are deleted after 14 days at the latest.

The server is run by IONOS SE in Germany, which handles this data on my behalf under a data processing agreement.

Link page and tools

This policy also covers bio.larisyrota.com and my Paste and File Transfer tools, which run on a second server of mine, also at IONOS SE in Germany, under the same data processing agreement.

Visitor numbers

I count visits with Umami, which runs on my own server, also at IONOS. It sets no cookies, doesn’t recognize you on your next visit and doesn’t follow you to other sites. It sees which page you opened, where you came from, your browser, device type and country. Your IP address is used for a moment to work out the country and is not stored. What I end up with is numbers like “40 people looked at this page last week”. Nobody else gets them.

Fonts

The typeface comes from Adobe Fonts. To show it, your browser loads the font files from Adobe’s servers, so Adobe sees your IP address and which page asked for them. Adobe says it uses this only to deliver the fonts and to count pageviews for licensing, and sets no cookies for it. The provider is Adobe Systems Software Ireland Ltd.; data can reach Adobe Inc. in the US, which is covered by the EU’s safeguards for transfers to the US. Why: I want the site to look the way it’s meant to.

Email

If you write to me, I get your address and whatever you put in the message, and I use it to reply. Mail runs through Google Workspace (Google Ireland Ltd.) under a data processing agreement; Google may also process it in the US, covered by the same EU safeguards. I keep emails as long as the conversation matters, and business correspondence as long as tax and accounting rules require.

Links on this site are plain links. Nothing loads from the other side until you click, and once you’re there, their privacy rules apply.

Your rights

You can ask what I have about you, have it corrected or deleted, limit or object to how it’s used, and get a copy to take elsewhere. One email to is enough. If you feel I’ve mishandled your data or fallen short of the rules, you can take it up with the Polish data protection authority, the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warszawa, uodo.gov.pl, or with the authority where you live.

Changes

If the site starts doing something new with data, this page changes first.
