PRIVACY

What this site does with your data.

Short version: almost nothing. No cookies, no tracking, no third-party ad networks, nothing sold. Everything here is self-hosted on my own box.

ANALYTICS · UMAMI

Page visits are counted with Umami — a privacy-first, cookieless analytics tool I run on my own server. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device, and never tracks you across other sites.

Collected (aggregate only)
  • · page URL & referrer
  • · browser, OS, device type
  • · country (from IP, not stored)
Never collected
  • · cookies / local storage
  • · names, emails, personal data
  • · cross-site or ad tracking

Visitors are counted with a daily-rotating one-way hash — your raw IP is used to compute it and then discarded, never saved. Because there are no cookies, there's nothing to consent to and nothing to clear.

WHAT YOU SEND ME
Contact form

If you send a message, the name, email, and text you type are stored so I can reply. That's it — it's not shared, sold, or added to any list. Ask me and I'll delete it.

The chat assistant

Questions you type into the chat are sent to my server and to a third-party language-model provider (Groq) to generate the answer. It's grounded on my public CV and isn't used to identify you — but treat it like any public chat box and don't paste anything sensitive.

Questions about any of this? Reach me at cativo@cativo.dev.

Not legal boilerplate — just how the stack actually works.
