Data Processed When Visiting This Website

When you access the website, technical data may be processed automatically. This can include:

  • IP address
  • date and time of the request
  • requested URL
  • browser and device information
  • referrer URL
  • security events such as blocked requests or rate limits

This data is used for security, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, performance monitoring, and basic traffic analysis. The legal basis, where the GDPR applies, is legitimate interest in operating a secure and reliable website.

Hosting, CDN, And Security

trueNetLab is published as a static website and served through infrastructure providers, including:

  • Netlify for hosting and deployment
  • Cloudflare for DNS, CDN, caching, security, and abuse protection

These providers may process technical request data such as IP addresses and user agents. Data may be processed outside your country of residence. Where required, providers rely on contractual safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent transfer mechanisms.

Analytics

trueNetLab uses privacy-conscious analytics and site-audit tooling:

  • Fathom Analytics to understand aggregate traffic and page usage
  • Ahrefs Analytics to support SEO and site-audit work

These tools help understand which pages are useful, detect broken pages, and improve the website. If non-essential cookies or tracking mechanisms are introduced in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly.

Site search is powered by Pagefind. The search index is served as static files and queries run in your browser. trueNetLab does not receive your search terms through a backend search service.

Embedded And External Content

Some articles may embed or link to third-party content, for example YouTube videos, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, vendor documentation, or other external resources. When you interact with embedded third-party content, those providers may process your IP address, browser data, cookies, or account information according to their own privacy policies.

Cookies

The website itself is designed to work without non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies or local browser storage may be used for security, caching, language, theme preference, or Cloudflare protection.

Retention

Technical logs are kept only as long as needed by the respective infrastructure provider for security, debugging, analytics, and abuse prevention. Aggregated analytics data may be retained longer because it no longer identifies individual visitors.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of your personal data. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection authority.

To exercise privacy rights, contact [email protected].

No Automated Decisions

trueNetLab does not use personal data for automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

Changes

This policy may be updated when services, hosting, analytics, or legal requirements change.
