In short
funnyenough.dev is a personal blog. It carries no ads, and I don’t sell your personal data or use it to advertise to you. You can read posts and pages without creating an account or submitting any personal details — and if you choose to contact me or buy something, only what’s needed for that is used, as described below. The site does rely on a few outside services — a web host and GitHub-powered comments — that receive some basic technical data in order to work. Those are listed below.
What’s collected, and why
- Server logs (Hostinger, the host): like any website, the host records your IP address, browser type, the pages you open, and the time. This is used to run the site, keep it secure, and fix problems. The host may also keep routine backups.
- Comments (Giscus + GitHub): comments run on Giscus and are stored in GitHub Discussions. Opening a post that has comments loads the comment box, which connects your browser to giscus.app and GitHub — so your IP reaches them even if you only read. To post, you sign in with GitHub; your comment is public and shows your GitHub name and avatar. GitHub, not this site, handles your account details.
- Emoji (WordPress): WordPress may load emoji images from WordPress.org, which receives your IP.
- Search stats (Google Search Console): this gives aggregate stats on how the site appears in Google Search. It adds no tracking code to the site or your browser.
- Contact form: if you message me through the form, I receive the name, email, and message you type, sent straight to my inbox so I can reply. It isn’t stored in a database on the site — it just lands as an email — and I keep it only as long as I need to deal with what you wrote. To curb spam, the form briefly holds a scrambled (hashed) form of your IP for about 30 seconds to rate-limit submissions, then discards it.
- Spam check (ALTCHA): the contact form uses ALTCHA, a self-hosted verification that runs entirely on this site. There’s no third-party CAPTCHA (no Google reCAPTCHA), it sets no cookies, and it sends nothing to any outside company. It only stores a short-lived marker of the puzzle it solved (about an hour) — nothing about you.
Analytics: the site uses GoatCounter — a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics tool. It counts page views (your referring page, rough country, and browser type) without cookies, without storing your IP address, and without tracking you across sites or building any profile of you. This data isn’t sold or shared for advertising.
Where the law asks for a “legal basis,” I rely on a legitimate interest in running the site — and on your consent when you choose to comment.
Cookies
For ordinary visitors, the site currently sets no cookies, so there’s no cookie banner. (The only cookies are the standard login cookies WordPress sets for me when I sign in to manage the site.) If you use the comments, GitHub may set its own cookies under its own domain.
Other sites
Posts may link to or embed content from other sites (for example, a video). Once you click through or an embed loads, you’re under that site’s privacy rules, not this one.
Buying something
If you buy one of my digital products, the checkout is handled by Lemon Squeezy as the Merchant of Record. They take the payment and handle your billing details under their own privacy policy, not me — I never see your card details. From them I receive the order information I need to fulfil and support your purchase. What you can do with a product is covered by its licence and the Terms.
Where data goes
I’m based in Israel, and the outside services above are run by companies in the US, the EU, and elsewhere — so your data may be processed outside your own country, including in the United States.
How long it’s kept
Server logs are kept by the host for a limited time and then deleted. Comments stay in GitHub Discussions until you or I delete them. Messages sent through the contact form stay in my email inbox until I no longer need them. Nothing else about visitors is stored on the site.
Your rights
Email privacy@funnyenough.dev to ask what’s held about you, or to correct or delete it. If you’re in the EU or UK, the GDPR gives you rights such as access, correction, deletion, and objection, and you can complain to your local data protection authority; similar rights may apply where you live. Since most comment data sits with GitHub, you can also manage it through your GitHub account. I don’t sell your personal data or share it for advertising, and the site isn’t aimed at children — I don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.
