I use Google Analytics right now, but I’m phasing it out in favor of my custom-made analytics system.
I respect your privacy and collect only limited technical and usage data to understand how you access the site.
What I collect
Anonymized IP addresses and technical details about your connection.
Data about your platform, like whether you’re on a computer or mobile device.
Engagement data like scroll depth and time spent on page.
What I do with it
I use the data I collect to understand usage patterns and try to improve my content. My legal basis under the GDPR is legitimate interest, or Article 6(1)(f).
I save the data in a secure Postgres instance inside a virtual private cloud (VPC).
I aggregate it and view it using an open-source service that I host myself.
What I don’t do
I don’t use cookies.
I don’t try to track you across sessions or deanonymize your information.
I don’t store your full IP address. It’s truncated to 24 bits (IPV4) or 48 bits (IPV6).
I will never sell or share your data.
