# Privacy policy

zero8.dev is a personal site and blog. It collects as little as it can while still being able to tell whether anything works. This page describes exactly what is collected, why, and how to be rid of it.

_Last updated: 2026-08-24._

## What is collected

- **Aggregate page analytics.** Cloudflare Web Analytics records page views, referrers, country, and coarse device type. It sets no cookie, builds no cross-site profile, and does not fingerprint visitors.
- **Product analytics.** PostHog records anonymous interaction events to show which pages and links are actually used. No account, no identity resolution for anonymous visitors.
- **Server logs.** Cloudflare retains standard edge request logs (IP, user agent, path, status) for security and abuse handling on its own schedule.
- **Email you send.** If you email hello@zero8.dev, that message and address are kept in order to reply and to keep a record of the engagement.

## What is not collected

- No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
- No third-party ad networks, data brokers, or audience sales.
- No accounts, passwords, or payment details — the site takes none.
- Nothing you write is sold, rented, or shared for marketing.

## Why

The legal basis is legitimate interest: knowing which posts get read, and keeping the site available and free of abuse. There is no profiling and no automated decision-making about visitors.

## Processors

- **Cloudflare, Inc.** — hosting, CDN, edge security, Web Analytics.
- **PostHog, Inc.** — product analytics.

Both act as processors under contract. No other third party receives visitor data.

## Retention

Aggregate analytics are retained on the processors’ default schedules (edge logs for days, aggregate counts for months). Email correspondence is retained for as long as the business relationship and Indian statutory record-keeping require.

## Your rights

Email **hello@zero8.dev** to ask what is held about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted. Requests are answered within 30 days. There is no login to authenticate against, so identity is confirmed from the email address itself.

## Agents and crawlers

Automated clients are welcome. The crawl policy is at https://zero8.dev/robots.txt, the machine-readable site guide at https://zero8.dev/llms.txt, and the public read-only API at https://zero8.dev/api/v1. Requesting those endpoints creates no personal record beyond ordinary edge logs.
