Who we are
This website is operated by Bald Engineer Media LLC and is available at https://www.baldengineer.com/. This policy describes information that may be processed when you visit the site.
Information processed by hosting and operational services
When your browser requests a page or file, the hosting and operational services that deliver and protect the site may process technical request information. This may include your IP address, request URL, date and time, referring URL, browser and device information, response status, and basic performance or security details.
This information is used to deliver the site, maintain reliability, investigate errors, prevent abuse, and protect the service. Logs and related operational data are retained according to the configuration and policies of the hosting and operational service providers; this site does not promise a fixed retention period where the provider controls retention.
Site search
The site uses Pagefind to provide search. The search index is a set of static files served by this site, and search matching is performed in your browser. Search terms are not sent to a separate hosted search provider by this site. Your browser will still make ordinary requests for the search interface and its static index files, which may appear in hosting logs.
External resources and embedded video
Google Fonts
The site loads the Ubuntu font from Google Fonts. When a page requests these font files, your browser connects to Google’s servers and Google may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser details, and the requested resource. See Google’s Privacy Policy for information about Google’s processing.
YouTube
Some pages embed videos using YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embed domain. Loading or interacting with an embedded video may cause YouTube to receive technical information about your browser and device and may cause YouTube to set or read cookies or similar technologies. See Google’s Privacy Policy and YouTube’s Terms of Service for more information.
Analytics
The site uses Google Analytics 4 in production. Google Analytics may collect information such as page views, approximate location, device and browser details, referring pages, and interactions with the site. Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies and may associate events with identifiers provided by Google or generated by the service.
Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is enabled by default when you visit the production site; this site does not currently display a separate analytics consent banner. Analytics settings and retention follow the Google Analytics account configuration. See Google’s Privacy Policy for information about Google’s processing.
Cookies and similar technologies
This static site does not provide user accounts or user-generated discussion features, and it does not intentionally set authentication or moderation cookies. External resources, embedded video, and Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies under the providers’ own policies.
Sharing and retention
Information described in this policy may be processed by the hosting and operational providers needed to run the site, Google for fonts and Google Analytics, and YouTube for embedded video. The site does not sell personal information.
Technical logs are retained for operational, security, and legal purposes according to the applicable provider configuration and business needs. Static article and media content is publicly accessible and may be cached by delivery infrastructure.
Your privacy choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding personal information processed about you, including rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a copy of that information. Some requests may be limited by security, legal, or operational requirements. Privacy requests may be sent using the site owner’s published business information.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the site’s data practices or service providers change. The revision date in the page metadata indicates when it was last updated.
