Privacy

This is a small, independent project. I try to keep data collection to a minimum and avoid collecting information that is not needed to operate or improve the site.

The site does not intentionally use third-party advertising or behavioral tracking tools such as Google Analytics, Meta/Facebook Pixel, or advertising networks.

The site itself does not set tracking cookies or create persistent identifiers for the purpose of following individual visitors across sessions or websites.

A small number of limited usage events may be recorded - for example, that an article or source was opened, or that a search was performed. These events are used to understand how the site is used, identify what is useful, and decide what to improve next.

Search is part of this. When something is searched for on the site, the words that were entered are recorded along with the event, so it is possible to see what people are looking for and whether the site is able to answer it.

These usage events are not intended to identify individual visitors. Where possible, they are stored without IP addresses, cookies, session identifiers, or other persistent user identifiers, and they are not used to build user profiles or track people across the web.

Information collected by this project is used only to operate, maintain, understand, and improve the site. It is not sold or used for advertising.

This project may change over time. If its data practices change in a meaningful way, this page will be updated to reflect that.

Infrastructure and Hosting

The site is hosted on Vercel (Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Avenue #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA), which also serves as its content delivery network (CDN). To deliver the site securely and keep it available, Vercel processes technical data such as IP addresses and request metadata whenever a page is requested. This processing is based on my legitimate interest in running a secure and reliable website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Transfers of data to the United States are covered by Vercel's certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. More information is in Vercel's Privacy Policy and its GDPR information.

The domain neuronscale.com is registered, and its DNS is managed, through OVHcloud (OVH SAS, 2 rue Kellermann, 59100 Roubaix, France). More information is in OVHcloud's privacy policy and its GDPR information.

This processing is separate from the site's own usage events described above, and is limited to what these providers need to deliver their services and keep the infrastructure secure.

Contact & Data Controller

This site is run as an independent project under the name NeuronScale. The data controller within the meaning of Art. 4(7) GDPR is:

Jakub Gania
An der Witwe 16c
44227 Dortmund
Germany
Email: contact@neuronscale.com

For questions about this page, or about how the site works, write to the email address above. The same details are given in the Impressum.

Because no accounts, names, or persistent identifiers are collected, the usage events described above cannot be connected to any individual visitor - including by me. That also means a request to access or delete “your data” cannot be answered in the usual way: there is nothing stored that points to a particular person to look up.
