This privacy policy applies to davidfano.com and personal projects published by David Fano, unless a specific project has its own separate privacy policy.
Short Version
I use this site to publish writing, projects, and personal work. I do not sell your personal data.
I may use basic analytics tools, such as Google Analytics or similar services, to understand site traffic, what pages people read, and whether the site is working well. That information helps me improve the site and my projects.
Information This Site May Collect
When you visit davidfano.com, basic technical information may be collected automatically by hosting, security, and analytics providers. This can include:
- Pages visited
- Referring pages or links
- Approximate location based on IP address
- Browser, device, and operating system information
- Date, time, and general usage activity
This information is used to understand site performance, improve content, prevent abuse, and maintain the site.
Analytics and Cookies
This site may use analytics tools, including Google Analytics or similar services. These tools may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to measure traffic and usage.
Analytics providers process this information under their own privacy policies and terms. You can limit or block cookies through your browser settings, and some analytics providers offer their own opt-out tools.
Personal Information You Provide
If you contact me directly, subscribe to something, fill out a form, or otherwise choose to send information, I may receive the information you provide, such as your name, email address, message, or other details.
I use that information only for the reason you provided it, such as replying to you or operating the relevant project.
Chrome Extensions and Personal Projects
Some personal projects, including Chrome extensions, may have their own privacy policy. If a project has a separate policy, that policy controls for that project.
For Chrome extensions that do not have their own policy, the extension privacy policy on this site applies.
Third-Party Services
This site and related projects may rely on third-party services for hosting, analytics, security, forms, embedded content, or other functionality. Those services may process data according to their own privacy policies.
I do not control those third-party services, but I try to use common, reputable tools and keep data collection limited to what is useful for operating the site and projects.
Data Sharing
I do not sell personal data. I may share information only when needed to operate the site or a project, comply with law, protect rights and security, or use a service you intentionally interact with.
Data Retention
Analytics and technical logs may be retained by service providers according to their own settings and policies. Direct messages or contact information may be retained as long as needed to respond, maintain records, or operate the relevant project.
Security and Limitations
I try to use reasonable tools and practices to protect the site and related projects, but no website, extension, or online service can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure.
Personal projects are provided as-is and may change over time. If something appears to collect, expose, or misuse data unexpectedly, please contact me so I can investigate.
Children’s Privacy
This site and my personal projects are not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
I may update this policy as the site, analytics setup, or projects change. The latest version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
