Privacy

This site is made by Niels Nicola in the Netherlands and collects as little as possible. Everything it does collect is listed here.

Questions about your data go to privacy@nielsnicola.xyz.

The server doesn't keep a record of who visits.

Visits are counted with Umami, which runs on the site's own server. It records which pages are viewed, where visitors came from, and roughly which device and country. It sets no cookies, doesn't store your IP address, and can't follow you to other sites. The numbers can't be traced back to you.

Logs and statistics are kept on the basis of legitimate interest: running the site safely and seeing what gets read.

Ordinary visits get no cookies. One exception: when you enter the password of a password-protected download link, a cookie remembers it for the rest of your visit. It expires after 30 minutes of inactivity, two hours at most. The effect switches on the site remember your choice in your browser. That never leaves your device.

If you email Niels Nicola, the conversation is kept as long as it's useful. Email is hosted by an email provider.

You can always ask which of your data is kept, have it corrected or deleted, or object to its use. A short email to privacy@nielsnicola.xyz is enough. For anything that can't be sorted out together, the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, is there to help.
