Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Anno-Book. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, ensuring compliance with global privacy regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

2. Information We Collect

As a statically generated developer blog, our data collection is strictly minimal. We may process the following types of data:

  • Technical Data: Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system, and platform. This is automatically collected via server logs by our hosting infrastructure.
  • Communication Data: If you contact us via email or a contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

3. How We Use Your Data & Legal Basis

Under the GDPR, we must have a lawful basis to process your data. We rely on the following:

  • Legitimate Interests: We process Technical Data to administer and protect our website (including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, system maintenance, and cyber-security threat detection).
  • Consent: We process Communication Data solely to respond to your direct inquiries.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Anno-Book is built with a privacy-first philosophy.

  • We do not use invasive third-party marketing or cross-site profiling cookies.
  • We may use essential Local Storage strictly for functional purposes (such as remembering your Dark/Light mode UI preference across sessions). This does not track your personal identity.

5. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information. We may share limited data with trusted third parties exclusively for operational purposes:

  • Hosting Providers: Our site is hosted on modern infrastructure (e.g., GitHub Pages, Netlify, or Vercel) which captures standard access logs to ensure security, prevent DDoS attacks, and maintain uptime.
  • Embedded Content: Articles may occasionally include embedded content (e.g., GitHub Gists, YouTube videos). These third-party platforms may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content according to their own privacy policies.

6. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including satisfying any legal, regulatory, or reporting requirements. Server logs are typically rotated and deleted automatically by our hosting providers within a standard 30-day window.

7. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location, you have specific rights under data protection laws, including:

  • The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
  • The right to rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • The right to erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
  • The right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
  • The right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us. We typically respond to all legitimate requests within one month.

8. Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures (including end-to-end HTTPS encryption and a static-site architecture that eliminates database vulnerabilities) to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We keep our privacy policy under regular review. This version was last updated in July 2026. Any changes we make to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this page.
