Privacy policy

This is a personal blog at sevenmarks.dev. It is not a service, a platform, or a business. The notes below describe everything the site does with data — read it and you will know what is happening.

What is collected

  • Anonymous analytics — Vercel Analytics records page visits, referrer, country, and device type. IP addresses are anonymized before storage. There are no cookies set for analytics.
  • Real User Monitoring — Vercel Speed Insights samples Core Web Vitals (page load timings) from real visits. Same anonymization.
  • Sign-in (admin only) — if you sign in via GitHub or Google, the provider returns your email address. The email is only used to check whether you are on the admin allowlist for this site. It is held in a short-lived signed session cookie and never written to a database. If you are not the site owner, the OAuth flow rejects you immediately and nothing about you is stored.

What is not collected

  • No third-party trackers, ad networks, or behavioural pixels.
  • No email marketing list — there is no newsletter.
  • No comments system, so no public-comment metadata.
  • No fingerprinting beyond what Vercel Analytics does by default.

Where the data lives

  • Vercel hosts the site and runs analytics. See their privacy policy.
  • Neon hosts the database that stores posts and pages. See their privacy policy.
  • Vercel Blob stores images embedded in posts. Images are public-read by design (they appear on the site).

Cookies

The only cookies set are functional: a theme preference (light/dark) in localStorage, and — if you sign in — the NextAuth session cookie. No analytics or advertising cookies.

Your data, your questions

If you have a question about your data on this site, email hello@sevenmarks.dev. Replies are written by a human.
