This Privacy Policy explains how information may be handled when you visit PeterNoahThomas.com.

PeterNoahThomas.com is a personal blog operated by Peter Noah Thomas. The website does not offer user accounts, a newsletter, a contact form, or online purchases.

Information I Collect

I do not ask visitors to provide names, email addresses, mailing addresses, payment information, or other personal information through this website.

I do not sell or rent visitors’ personal information.

Website Hosting and Technical Information

This website is hosted through Cloudflare Pages.

When you visit the website, Cloudflare may automatically process technical information required to deliver and protect the site. This may include:

  • Your Internet Protocol address
  • Browser and device information
  • Requested pages and files
  • Date and time of requests
  • Referring pages
  • Traffic-routing and security information
  • Information used to identify malicious or automated activity

Cloudflare processes this information to operate its network, deliver website content, maintain security, prevent abuse, and improve its services.

I do not maintain a separate database containing information about individual visitors. Limited technical or aggregate information may be available through Cloudflare’s services.

Cloudflare handles information according to its own Privacy Policy and data-retention practices.

Analytics

This website does not currently use Google Analytics, Statcounter, advertising trackers, or another separate visitor-analytics service.

Cloudflare may generate limited network, traffic, performance, and security information as part of hosting and delivering the website.

Cookies

I do not directly use cookies for advertising, personalized marketing, or visitor tracking.

Cloudflare may use cookies or similar technologies when they are necessary to provide security, manage network traffic, detect automated activity, or protect the website from malicious requests.

Some third-party content embedded in blog posts may also use cookies or similar technologies. Those technologies are controlled by the third-party provider rather than by me.

Embedded Content

Some blog posts may include content hosted by third parties, such as embedded YouTube videos.

Embedded content may behave as though you visited the third party’s website directly. The provider may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser information, device information, and interactions with the embedded content.

Where possible, YouTube videos are embedded using YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode. YouTube and Google may still process information when an embedded player loads or when you interact with a video. Their handling of that information is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy.

External Links

This website contains links to other websites. Following an external link takes you to a website operated by another person or organization.

I do not control and am not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of external websites. You should review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

How Information Is Used

Technical information processed in connection with this website may be used to:

  • Deliver pages, images, and other website content
  • Maintain the security and reliability of the website
  • Detect spam, abuse, automated traffic, or malicious activity
  • Diagnose technical problems
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations

Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable data-protection law requires a legal basis, technical information is processed as necessary for the legitimate interests of operating, delivering, maintaining, and protecting this personal website.

Cloudflare may rely on additional legal bases described in its own Privacy Policy.

Data Retention

I do not maintain a separate collection of personal visitor records.

Technical information processed by Cloudflare is retained according to Cloudflare’s policies, service settings, security requirements, and legal obligations.

International Data Processing

Cloudflare and other third-party providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Privacy and data-protection laws in those countries may differ from those where you live.

Any international processing performed by Cloudflare, Google, or another provider is governed by that provider’s privacy policy and applicable legal safeguards.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection to certain processing.

Because I do not maintain user accounts or a personal visitor database, I may have little or no information that can be connected to a particular visitor.

Questions or privacy requests may be sent to:

privacy (at) peternoahthomas.com

Requests concerning information processed directly by Cloudflare, Google, YouTube, or another third-party provider may need to be submitted to that provider.

Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.

I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If I learn that such information has been collected through the website, I will take reasonable steps to have it removed.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy when the website, its features, or the services it uses change.

The effective date at the top of this page will be updated whenever a revised policy is published.
