Introduction

Thank you for visiting Shawn M. Jones's personal website. I am concerned about privacy myself and am know you may have the same concerns. I wrote this Privacy Policy to explain what I collect, use, and disclose when you visit this site.

Cookies and Tracking

I do not use cookies.

I do not use third-party tracking scripts.

I considered Google Analytics but realized that some visitors may not be comfortable with it, so I resolved to not use it. I also do not use Facebook Pixel or any other third-party analytics or tracking services. I have no interest in tracking your behavior across the web.

Hosting and Server Logs

This website is hosted on Google Firebase. Like most web servers, Firebase automatically collects standard server logs when you visit this site. These logs may include:

  • The date and time of when you visited.
  • The IP address you visited from, often assigned by your ISP or VPN provider
  • How your browser self-identifies, your User-Agent
  • The URLs of each page you visit
  • The HTTP method used to request that URL
  • The size, in bytes, of the page sent back
  • The HTTP status code sent back with the page

This data is used for security, performance monitoring, and aggregate traffic analysis. I do not use it to build a profile of you. I do not sell this information to marketers.

Local Storage

I use Local Storage only for remembering your preferred visual theme (Light Mode or Dark Mode).

  • Key: theme
  • Possible values: light or dark
  • Purpose: This allows the website to know if you prefer light or 'dark' mode theme.
  • Expiration: This data persists in your browser until you clear your browser data.

This data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to any server. It is not used for identification or tracking purposes.

This website may contain links to external sites that I do not operate. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third-party's site. I have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
