What Data Is Collected

I do not directly collect, store or process any personal data on this website.

However, this site uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. GA4 collects the following data automatically when you visit this site:

  • Approximate geographic location (country/city level)
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent
  • Referring website (how you arrived at this site)

Google Analytics 4 is configured to not collect full IP addresses. IP addresses are truncated by Google before storage.

This site is operated from Romania, which is a member state of the European Union.

Processing of analytics data is based on legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) specifically, understanding how visitors interact with the blog in order to improve its content and structure.

No data is used for advertising, profiling or sold to third parties.

Google’s Role as Data Processor

Google LLC acts as a data processor on behalf of this site. Google may process collected data on servers located outside the European Economic Area, including the United States. Google participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which provides adequate safeguards for such transfers.
