Privacy

I’m not that smart, and this is a static website built with Hugo, so I don’t think there’s any real tracking built in.

I am hosting on Github behind AWS Amplify. I can not say for sure what those services are doing behind the scenes, but they aren’t sharing anything with me and all I have found (so far) is Amplify will tell me what user agent accessed a page.

The closest thing to tracking or invading your privacy that I do is to use goatcounter so I can see how many people found the site. Goatcounter claims to be privacy focused, and is open source. I am using the hosted version, not self-hosting (yet) so I am trusting them to be honest and transparent. Goatcounter shows me:

  • What Browser you used to visit the site
  • What country you visited from
  • What state/region you visited from
  • What device type you visited from (phone, tablet, regular computer monitor, large monitor - it seems they go by what pixel dimensions they had to use to display the page on your device)
  • What operating system you were using when you visited
  • I don’t have language tracking enabled at this time, and I haven’t done anything with campaigns.
