Privacy Policy.

Last Updated: September 2026

This website (blog.abdurrafay.tech) is a personal blog. I value minimal data collection and user privacy. This document outlines how analytics and preferences are handled when visiting this site.

1. Telemetry & Analytics (Vercel)

This site uses Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to monitor technical health, Core Web Vitals, and aggregate traffic patterns.

  • No Cookies: Telemetry scripts do not set, read, or require browser cookies.
  • No Personal Data: No personally identifiable information (PII) like names, email addresses, or precise GPS coordinates are ever recorded.
  • IP Discarding: Incoming IP addresses are processed in volatile memory at the edge solely to infer coarse country-level geography and are immediately discarded.
  • Performance Metrics: Speed Insights aggregates anonymous client performance timings (Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift) to ensure fast rendering across varying devices.

2. Local Storage (Theme Persistence)

The site uses browser localStorage for a single deterministic purpose: remembering whether you prefer the dark or light interface mode.

  • Key: theme (values: "dark" or "light").
  • This token remains entirely on your local machine and is never transmitted to any external server or analytics API.

3. Zero Third-Party Web CDNs

Unlike many modern websites that load scripts, trackers, or styles from disparate CDNs:

  • Self-Hosted Typography: Font files (Apfel Grotezk and JetBrains Mono) are served locally from /fonts/ on the same edge network. No queries are made to Google Fonts or commercial font registries.
  • Zero Ad Networks: This site contains zero advertising networks, tracking pixels, or third-party behavioral profiling scripts.

4. External Services

Articles may contain outbound links to external services such as GitHub, LinkedIn, or external reference documentation. When following outbound links, the privacy policies of those external entities govern your interaction.

5. Contact & Questions

If you have questions regarding data privacy, security, or site telemetry, please feel free to reach out directly via email at:
