Privacy Policy

This website is a simple, static site. It does not place advertising cookies on your device. The only personal information it receives directly is what you choose to send through the feedback form on blog posts. This policy explains what does happen when you visit.

What this site does not do

Parthans.com does not:

• Collect your name, email address, or any personal information, other than what you choose to send through the blog feedback form
• Place advertising or marketing cookies on your device
• Sell, share, or transfer your data to third parties for commercial purposes
• Run a mailing list or newsletter from this site

Third-party services this site uses

Four external services are used when you visit:

Google Fonts

This site loads fonts (Playfair Display and Inter) from Google Fonts, a service provided by Google LLC. When your browser requests these fonts, Google may collect your IP address and other standard request data as part of the delivery. Google's privacy policy governs this data: policies.google.com/privacy.

Google Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use it. Google Analytics collects standard web data including your IP address (anonymised), browser type, pages visited, time on site, and referring source. This data is used to improve the site and understand its audience. It is not used to identify you personally. Google Analytics runs fully only if you choose Allow in the banner shown on your first visit. Until then, and if you choose No thanks, it sets no cookies and Google receives only a basic signal that a page was viewed, without anything that identifies your browser. You can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. Google's privacy policy governs this data: policies.google.com/privacy.

Cloudflare Turnstile

The feedback form on blog posts uses Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a person, not an automated script, is sending it. To do this, Cloudflare processes your IP address and standard browser data. Cloudflare's privacy policy governs this data: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

Hosting infrastructure

This site is hosted on servers that log standard web server data, including IP addresses, browser type, referring pages, and pages visited. These logs are used for security and performance purposes and are not used to identify individual visitors.

The blog feedback form

Blog posts at parthans.com/blog end with an optional feedback form. If you use it, your name, email address and message are sent to me by email, through Amazon Web Services' email service, so that I can read and reply. Your message is not published and is not stored on this website. Your IP address is kept briefly to limit how many messages can be sent from one address. To have your messages deleted, contact me via the contact page.

External links and third-party sites

This site links to external services, including:

• CalendarHero — used for booking calls. If you book a call, you are on CalendarHero's platform and their privacy policy applies.
• LinkedIn — linked for professional connection. LinkedIn's privacy policy applies when you visit their platform.

This privacy policy covers only parthans.com. It does not govern any external site or service, however linked.

Cookies

This site does not set cookies of its own. If you allow analytics, Google Analytics sets cookies to distinguish visits and measure site usage. Your choice itself is remembered in your browser's local storage, not in a cookie, so the banner does not ask again. Google Fonts may set cookies as part of their service delivery. Cloudflare Turnstile may set a short-lived cookie when you use the feedback form.

Your rights

If you have a question about how your data is handled, or wish to raise a privacy concern, you can contact me directly via the contact page.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with applicable data protection law, you may have additional rights under that law. The only personal data this site handles is what you send through the feedback form; you can ask to see or delete it via the contact page. For data held by Google Fonts or other third-party services, you would need to contact those services directly.

Changes to this policy

If the site's data practices change materially, this page will be updated. The date at the top of this page reflects when it was last revised.
