Privacy Policy

What Data & Why

This site strives to create an intentional, respectful platform.

Accordingly, calebk.com creates and collects as little data as possible. This policy attempts to lay out what metrics are collected and openly discuss the reasoning behind such decisions.

No Client Analytics & Minimal Logging

This site uses no client-side analytics of any kind. No cookies, no pixel tracking, no session replays, no Google Analytics. All assets are self-hosted and the site makes no requests to third-parties of any kind.

The server itself maintains minimal, short-term logs (see Why Log at All?). These logs collect some or all of the following information:

• IP Address
• Operating System ("Linux")
• Browser Type ("Firefox 60")
• Date & Time
• Referrer ("example.com")
• Page Requested ("/privacy")

Given the complexity of server software and hosting platforms, there is always a possibility that some additional information may be inadvertently gathered. Please know that there is an ongoing effort to minimize the chance of this happening and delete any extraneous information.

Additionally, this site uses a strict-origin referrer policy. This means that any link you click on this site sends only the referring domain (i.e. calebk.com, no page/query) and sends nothing at all over unsecured connections. Any external sites have their own content and privacy policies, which may be different than those listed here.

Why Log at All?

Just one purpose: Maintaining the stable, secure operation of the site.

Minimal logs help reveal issues like:

• Surprise traffic spikes
• Performance problems
• Broken pages or links
• Security risks to the site or visitors
• Attacks on the server

Tiny logs broker a balance by enabling a smooth, safe experience for visitors while minimizing risk.

Disclosure

Because little information is gathered, there is relatively little that can be disclosed. However, this information may be disclosed in limited circumstances, such as a good-faith belief that it is required by law—typically a subpoena or other judicial or administrative order.

Visitor and client information is never sold, and only ever shared as compelled by law.
