Privacy

This blog collects as little personal information as it can. You can read every post without giving any. Personal information is only stored when you choose to leave a comment, send a message, or write for the blog as a guest author, and it is never sold or used for advertising.

The blog is run by Aayush Tiwari, who is responsible for the information described here. Questions or requests: aayushdynamics@gmail.com.

Visitor statistics. Cloudflare Web Analytics counts page visits without cookies and without identifying you.

Views and likes. Each post keeps a simple count of views and likes. The count is not linked to you, and no IP address is stored. Your browser remembers that you have viewed or liked a post, so it is not counted twice.

Settings kept in your browser. Your light or dark theme, and your name and email if you have commented before, are kept in your browser's local storage so you don't have to re-enter them. They stay on your device and can be cleared at any time from your browser's settings.

Hosting. The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes technical information such as IP addresses to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse.

When you comment, the blog stores your name, your comment, the date and, if you give it, your email address. Your name, comment and date are shown publicly once the comment is approved. Your email is never shown; it is only seen by the author, and only used if a direct reply is needed.

A copy of each new comment, including your email if you gave one, is emailed to the author through Formspree so it can be reviewed. The spam check on the comment form is provided by Cloudflare Turnstile.

Comments are kept until they are deleted. Ask at any time and your comment will be removed.

Messages sent through the Contact page, with your name and email, are delivered by email through Formspree. They are used only to reply to you.

If you write for the blog, it stores your sign-in email, your password (as a one-way scrambled hash that cannot be read back), your public author profile, and the posts and profile changes you submit. Your profile and published posts are public; your sign-in email and password are not.

Submitted posts are stored in the blog's source repository on GitHub until they are published or declined. Failed sign-in attempts are recorded with your email and a scrambled form of your network address, to protect accounts from password guessing, and are deleted after a day.

Your sign-in and profile are kept while you write for the blog. Ask for your account to be removed and it will be; your published posts can stay on the site, or be removed too if you prefer.

You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information the blog holds about you, or withdraw consent you have given, by emailing aayushdynamics@gmail.com. Requests are answered within 30 days. The blog aims to handle personal information in line with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

The blog is written for working professionals and is not intended for children.
