Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 31, 2026
Black Coder is a personal engineering blog. This policy explains what (minimal) data we collect, why, and how it is handled. The short version: we respect your privacy and collect only what is strictly necessary.
Information We Collect
This is a read-only blog. There is no account registration, commenting system, or user-generated content.
We may collect the following minimal data automatically:
- Server access logs — IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps.
- Performance metrics — page load times and basic usage analytics (no personal identifiers).
- Error reports — stack traces and browser information when technical errors occur.
Third-Party Services
This site uses the following external services:
- Cloudinary — Image hosting and optimization. Images are served from Cloudinary's CDN.
- Vercel — Hosting and edge network. Vercel may collect server-side request logs.
- YouTube — Embedded videos (when used). YouTube's privacy policy applies to embedded players.
How We Use Data
Any data collected is used solely to:
- Debug technical errors and improve site reliability.
- Understand which content is most useful to readers (aggregate, anonymous).
- Protect against malicious traffic and abuse.
We never sell, trade, or rent your data to third parties.
Security
All traffic is served over HTTPS. We follow modern security best practices for our infrastructure. However, no system is 100% secure — if you discover a security issue, please report it responsibly via the contact below.
