Privacy

This site counts visits so I can see what people read. It has no advertising trackers. Here is exactly what it does.

What is counted, and why

When counting is allowed (see below), the site uses PostHog to count page views and a short list of actions, so I can see which pages people read and which links they follow. The actions are: a page view, a section of the home page coming into view, a tap on a link to another site (which site, and which place on this site sent it), pressing play on a video or the keyboard, pressing an email button, copying a bio or the address, switching between the Night and Day looks, and scrolling halfway or to the end of a page.

With each of these, PostHog receives your IP address and your browser's details (type, screen size, language), works out your country and city from the IP address, and keeps the IP address with the event. The site also keeps, for one visit only, where that visit came from (a search engine, an AI assistant, a social site, another website, or a typed address, plus any campaign tags in the link) and the first page you opened, and sends that with each event.

To tell one visit from the next, PostHog stores a random identifier in a cookie and in your browser's local storage. It does not know who you are, and the site never gives it your name or email. There are no recordings of your screen, no heatmaps, no automatic click capture and no surveys: those PostHog features are switched off in the site's code.

The full list of event names, for the technically minded: page_view, room_view, outbound_click, media_play, contact_intent, press_copy, theme_switch, scroll_half, scroll_end.

When counting happens

  • If your browser's time zone is in Europe (including the United Kingdom and Switzerland), or the site cannot tell your time zone, nothing is counted and PostHog is not loaded until you press Accept.
  • Everywhere else, counting starts when the page opens, and a small notice offers Decline.
  • If your browser sends Global Privacy Control, the site treats it as Decline: nothing is counted and no banner asks. The site does not act on the older Do Not Track setting; Global Privacy Control is the signal it honours.
  • You can change your answer at any time with Privacy choices at the bottom of every page. Decline stops counting at once and removes PostHog's identifier from your browser.

The legal basis

For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the basis is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time as above. Elsewhere, the site counts visits by default to understand what its readers use, and you can opt out.

Who receives the data

  • PostHog (PostHog, Inc., United States) processes the counting data on its US servers, under its data processing agreement, which includes the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers out of Europe.
  • Vercel (Vercel Inc., United States) hosts the site and receives each request, including your IP address, to deliver the page. The site itself keeps no server logs.

I do not sell or share your data with anyone for advertising, and there are no advertising trackers on this site.

How long it is kept

PostHog keeps counting events for one year, the period on the plan this site uses, and then deletes them in batches. The site does not create a profile for a visitor it cannot name, so nothing else is kept. The one-visit source record lives in your browser and is gone when you close the tab.

What the site stores in your browser

  • Your Night or Day choice (look), because you chose it.
  • Your answer to the privacy question (vladan_consent), so you are not asked again.
  • When counting is allowed: PostHog's identifier, and the one-visit source record (vladan_visit).

Videos and links to other sites

Videos are not loaded until you press play. Then the player comes from YouTube (its privacy-enhanced address) or Vimeo (with do not track on), and that service may set its own cookies under its own policy. Links to the App Store, Google Play, Amazon, Apple Music, jazzpianomaster.com and my profiles take you to sites with their own privacy policies.

Your rights

You can ask to see the data held about your visits, to have it deleted, or to object to its use. If you are in California you also have the rights to know and to delete. Write to contact@vladan.com. Because the site does not know who you are, the quickest way to stop all counting is Decline under Privacy choices; to have past visits deleted, tell me roughly when you visited and from which country, and I will delete what can be matched. You may also complain to the data protection authority where you live.

Children

This site is not aimed at children and does not knowingly collect anything from them.
