Privacy Policy

Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how jacobrakai ("I", "me", or "my") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit https://jacobrakai.org (the "Site"). The Site is a personal website featuring writing, illustrated explainers, and information about my work. It is not designed to collect personal information beyond what is described below.

Information You Provide

If you contact me through a form on the Site, I collect the information you choose to submit — typically your name, email address, and message. That information is processed by Formspree and delivered to me by email. It is not stored in a database on the Site. If you email me directly, I receive your email address and whatever you include in your message.

Automatically Collected Information

The Site is hosted and protected by Cloudflare. As part of delivering and securing the Site, Cloudflare processes standard request data such as IP address, browser type, pages requested, and referring page. I also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics tool that measures aggregate traffic without using cookies and without tracking you across other websites. I do not use Google Analytics, advertising trackers, or cross-site profiling.

Cookies & Local Storage

This Site does not set first-party tracking cookies. Cloudflare may set essential cookies strictly for security purposes (such as bot detection). The Site may store small, non-identifying preferences in your browser's local storage; that data stays on your device and is not transmitted to any server.

Third-Party Services

I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Limited data is handled by the third parties that make the Site work:

• Cloudflare — hosting, CDN, security, and privacy-focused analytics.
• Formspree — processing contact-form submissions.
• AbuseIPDB — the Site displays a contributor badge image served by AbuseIPDB; loading it involves a request to abuseipdb.com.

These providers process data under their own privacy policies.

Data Security

All connections to the Site use HTTPS encryption. I take reasonable measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage over the Internet is completely secure.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information I hold about you, and to object to certain processing. Because I store very little — essentially only what you send me by form or email — most requests can be honored simply by asking. You can also limit automatic collection using browser privacy settings or extensions. To make a request, email me using the address below.

Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted here, with a revised "Last updated" date.

Governing Law

The Site is operated from the United States. This Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
