Privacy

What this site stores about you, why, and how to take it back.

Lakenaut works without an account and without cookies of its own. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to sign in to. This page lists everything the site stores when you do choose to give it something, why, and how to take it back.

Who is responsible

The site is run by an individual, not a company. The contact address at the foot of this page reaches the person who decides what happens to anything stored here — the data controller, in the language of the GDPR.

Reading the site

  • There are no reader accounts. Nothing you read is attached to a name, because there is no name to attach it to.
  • Your theme, your sidebar, which concepts you ticked as done and any reading preferences stay in your browser (localStorage). They never reach the server, and clearing your browser data clears them.
  • If analytics are switched on, cookie-free tools run for everyone; anything that sets a cookie starts only after you accept it in the banner, and you can change your mind at any time from the footer.

If you write to us from a page

  • If you send a report from a concept page, we store the message, which page it came from, the optional reply address you typed, and a keyed hash of your IP address. The hash exists only to spot a flood of reports from one source; the address itself is never stored.
  • If you suggest a resource, we store the link, what you wrote about it, and the same keyed hash.
  • Neither needs a name, and neither creates anything you have to come back and manage.

The newsletter

The newsletter is the only thing that keeps an address, and it needs nothing else.

  • We store the address, the topics you chose, the date you confirmed, and a random token.
  • Nobody is added without confirming: we send one email, and until you click it you receive nothing else.
  • The token in every email is the only key you need to change your topics or leave. No account, no password.
  • Leaving keeps the address and the date you left, so we can prove we stopped and never add you again by mistake. Ask and it is deleted outright.
  • Legal basis: your consent, given by confirming, and withdrawable in one click from any email we send.

Where it lives, and who else sees it

  • The site and its database run on Cloudflare (Workers, D1, KV). Cloudflare is our processor.
  • Confirmation emails go out through Cloudflare Email Sending; newsletter campaigns through Resend.
  • That is the whole list. Nothing is sold, and nothing is shared with an advertiser.

How long we keep it

  • Newsletter: until you leave, and then only the address and the date, so we do not add you back.
  • Reports and suggestions: until they are dealt with, and up to two years after, so a decision can be traced.
  • Analytics, when switched on: whatever the tool named in the cookie policy keeps.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of what we hold, a correction, deletion, or a stop to any processing based on consent. Write to the address below; we answer within a month. If the answer does not satisfy you, you can complain to your national data protection authority.

Children

The site is not aimed at children and asks for nothing that would identify one.

Contact

This site is run by one person. Write to hello@lakenaut.dev for anything on this page — a copy of your data, a correction, a deletion, or a complaint.
