Privacy Policy

Hi. I’m a one-person blog about engineering, code, and interactive visualizations. Here’s the deal, in plain English.

What I collect

Practically nothing. I don’t run ads, I don’t sell anything, and I don’t have an email list to harvest you into. I’m not in the data business.

The site may collect some basic anonymous stats — things like which post you visited, what country you’re roughly from, and what browser you used. That helps me know which tutorials people actually like, so I can write more of those. It does not identify you personally.

What about cookies?

A couple of harmless ones might show up:

  • A theme cookie so the site remembers if you picked dark or light mode. Riveting stuff.
  • Possibly a session cookie from analytics, if I have analytics enabled at all.

No tracking pixels. No “we noticed you abandoned your cart” emails (there is no cart). No reselling your soul to ad networks.

Third-party tools

A few embedded things on the site come from elsewhere and have their own privacy practices, completely outside my control:

  • Disqus powers blog comments. If you leave a comment, that’s between you and them.
  • Patreon / WayForPay handle donations. I never see your card details — only that someone was generous.
  • Three.js, recharts, etc. are libraries that run entirely in your browser. They don’t phone home.

Your rights

You have all of them. You can:

  • Block cookies in your browser. Nothing important will break.
  • Use an ad blocker. I have no ads to block, but go for it.
  • Email me to ask what (if anything) the site knows about you. The honest answer is almost certainly “nothing”.

Changes

If I ever start collecting more, I’ll update this page and try to be just as honest about it. If something here ever sounds like a lawyer wrote it, assume I’ve been replaced by a bot and please send help.

Contact

Questions? Use the contact page. I read everything.

This notice applies to scarecrow.com.ua. If you’re reading it on someone else’s site because they copied it — hi friend, please at least change the contact link.
