Privacy

Last updated:

This is a personal blog. It has no accounts, no comment system, no newsletter, and no forms. The site collects as little data as it can while still functioning, and what follows is a plain account of what that means.

Who is responsible

Bulent Yusuf runs this site and decides how the limited data described below is handled. You can get in touch at contact@bulentyusuf.com.

Analytics

The site uses Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to understand which pages are read and how quickly they load. According to Vercel, these tools are privacy-preserving by design: they set no cookies, store no persistent identifier on your device, and do not track you across other websites. Data is collected in aggregate for statistics only, and visitor sessions are discarded automatically after 24 hours.

Hosting and server logs

The site is hosted on Vercel, which processes technical request data — including IP addresses — on the operator's behalf in order to serve pages and keep the service secure and reliable. This is a standard part of how any website is delivered. Vercel acts as a data processor for this purpose under its own data processing terms.

What is not collected

There are no sign-ups, no tracking cookies, no advertising networks, and no third-party social or marketing pixels. Nothing on the site asks you to submit personal information.

Legal basis

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, the limited processing described above rests on legitimate interest: running a functioning, secure website and understanding its readership in aggregate. Because no tracking cookies or persistent identifiers are used, the site does not ask for consent through a cookie banner.

Your rights

If the GDPR or a comparable law applies to you, you have rights over your personal data, including the right to ask what is held about you, to request correction or deletion, and to object to processing. Given how little data this site handles, there is usually nothing individual to retrieve — but you are welcome to raise any request at the contact address above and it will be handled in good faith.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date shown on this page will update to reflect it.
