I'm Yazeed Bin Humaid, and I run this blog myself. This page explains what blog.jarvispanel.com collects, why, where it's kept, and how to have it deleted. Questions go to support@blog.jarvispanel.com.

If you only read

You don't need an account to read open posts. Readers who aren't signed in get no cookies, and the blog has no ads or advertising trackers.

Server logs

The server records each request: your IP address, your browser's user agent, the page you asked for, the page that linked you here, and the time. I use these logs to keep the site running and to block abuse. The proxy's raw logs rotate by size and usually cover the last two or three weeks. Ghost, the software behind the blog, keeps its own request log (IP address, browser, page, time) for 30 days. A per-visitor summary (day, IP address, browser, country, pages) is kept for 30 days and then deleted. Ghost's log and the summary also go into the daily backup.

Visit statistics

I count visits with Umami, which runs on my own server. It sets no cookies and doesn't save your IP address. It keeps the page you viewed, the referring site, your browser, operating system, device type, screen size and language, and a rough location (country, region, city) worked out from your IP address during the visit. If your browser sends Do Not Track, Umami doesn't count you at all. Visit statistics are kept until I delete them.

In your browser

If you choose the light or dark theme, the choice is saved in your browser's local storage. The sign-up script keeps a short list of the pages you opened in session storage, which the browser clears when you close the tab. If you sign up, Ghost uses that list to record which post you signed up from.

One outside script

The sign-up and sign-in window (Ghost Portal) loads from the jsDelivr CDN, so jsDelivr and the networks it runs on (Cloudflare, Fastly, Gcore) see your IP address and browser, as any CDN would.

Signing up takes only your email address. Ghost, the software behind the blog, then stores:

your email address, and a name if you add one in your account
which newsletter you get (Arabic, English or both) and a label for your language
the post you signed up from and the site that sent you to it
your rough location (country and region), looked up from your IP address through the geojs.io service when you sign up, or at a later sign-in if none was saved. The IP address itself isn't saved with your account.
when you joined and when you last signed in

There are no passwords. To sign in you get a link by email, sent through Resend from its servers in Ireland. Resend keeps a record of these emails for 30 days, stored in the United States. Once you're signed in, Ghost sets two cookies, ghost-members-ssr and its signature ghost-members-ssr.sig, so you stay signed in. They last up to 184 days (about 6 months), or until you sign out.

Newsletters

Newsletters go out through Mailgun's EU region, and you only get the ones you subscribed to. Each email reports back whether it was opened and which links were clicked. I use that to see which posts are useful to readers. Mailgun keeps these delivery, open and click records for up to 30 days. Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and you can change your newsletters at any time from your account.

Where your data is kept

The blog runs on my own server, hosted by netcup in Vienna, Austria. The blog's database and files, the visit statistics and the logs above are backed up every day, with a copy on my Google Drive, and backups are kept for about 15 days.

These services handle part of your data for me: netcup (hosting), Mailgun (newsletters), Resend (sign-in emails), Google Drive (backups), jsDelivr (the sign-up script), geojs.io (location at sign-up), and Cloudflare and Gmail (emails to the support address). I don't sell your data or use it for advertising.

Your choices

Unsubscribe from a newsletter with the link in any email, or from your account.
Change your email address from your account.
For a copy of your data, a correction, or to delete your account, email support@blog.jarvispanel.com from the address you signed up with. I reply within 30 days. Once your account is deleted, your data leaves the site straight away and drops out of the backups within about 15 days.
