This Privacy Policy explains how frontalnerdity.com ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website. We are committed to respecting your privacy and handling any data responsibly.
We collect no personal data from visitors. Our website does not use cookies, local storage for persistent tracking, or any form of device fingerprinting that identifies individuals.
The only data we process is aggregated and anonymized usage statistics for the purpose of understanding website performance and visitor trends. This includes:
Page views
Referrer information (e.g., the site or search engine that directed you here)
Approximate location (country level only, derived from anonymized IP data)
Device type (e.g., desktop, mobile)
Browser and operating system information
Session duration and bounce rates
All IP addresses are immediately anonymized or hashed on the server side and never stored in full. No data is linked to individual users across sessions or devices.
We use Umami, a self-hosted, open-source web analytics tool, to collect these anonymized statistics. Umami is designed to be privacy-friendly:
It is cookieless — no cookies are set on your device.
No personal identifiers are collected or stored.
Data is processed entirely on our own servers, with full ownership and control.
Because Umami does not collect or process personal data, no cookie consent banner is required under laws like GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, or CCPA.
The anonymized data is used solely to:
Improve the website's content and user experience
Monitor traffic sources and popular pages
Ensure technical performance
We do not use the data for advertising, profiling, or sharing with third parties.
All analytics data is stored securely on our self-hosted servers. We implement appropriate technical measures to protect against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
Data is retained only as long as necessary for analytical purposes and is periodically aggregated or deleted.
We do not share, sell, or transfer any analytics data to third parties. Since the data is fully anonymized and self-hosted, no external services (beyond basic hosting infrastructure) have access to it.
As we do not collect personal data, rights such as access, rectification, or erasure under GDPR or similar laws do not typically apply to our analytics. However, if you have any concerns or questions, feel free to contact us (see below).
Like most websites, our hosting provider may collect standard server log data (e.g., IP addresses, timestamps, requested pages) for security and troubleshooting purposes. These logs are separate from Umami analytics, anonymized where possible, and retained only briefly.
Our website may contain links to external sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. We recommend reviewing their policies.
Our website is not directed at children under 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect data from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Changes will be posted here with an updated "Last updated" date.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us at: [[email protected]]([email protected]).
