This is a personal blog and portfolio. It does not currently include first-party advertising or analytics.
Theme preference
If you change the color theme, the site stores that preference in your browser's local storage. The value is used only to restore your selected light or dark theme on later visits.
Newsletter sign-up
When you submit the form, your email address is sent to this site's managed API and then to Buttondown, the newsletter service configured for this site. Buttondown stores the address so it can send the notes and, when its confirmation setting is on, a message asking you to confirm. You can unsubscribe from any message they send. The form also includes an empty anti-spam field. Do not submit the form if you do not want your address processed for the subscription.
Comments
Comments use Giscus and GitHub Discussions. The site does not connect to those services until you select Load comments. Their handling of account and request data is governed by their own privacy terms.
Hosting and external links
The site is hosted on Azure Static Web Apps. Hosting services may process standard request data needed to serve and secure the site. Links to other websites take you to services with their own privacy practices.
