Privacy Policy

1. What we collect

Comments

When you leave a comment, we keep your name and your words. We keep a one-way hash of your email address, so your address itself is never stored. We also keep a one-way hash of your IP address to block spam. We keep no browser details. Your email never shows in public.

Comments run on our own comment service, hosted on Cloudflare Workers. Cloudflare stores the comment data for us. Our service scores each comment for spam, and every comment waits for us to approve it. Readers show with a plain monogram next to their name. Some comment threads also show a photo pulled by our service from Gravatar. Your browser never contacts Gravatar directly.

Email you send us

If you write to contact@androidscroll.com or message us on social media, we see your name, your address, and what you wrote. We use it only to answer you.

Newsletter (paused)

Our newsletter is paused. No signup form runs on this site today, so we collect no new subscribers. If you joined before the pause, your name and email stay with MailerLite, our email provider. Every email we send carries an unsubscribe link.

2. Analytics we run ourselves

We measure visits with two free tools, Matomo and Umami. Both run on our own servers, and no part of your visit goes to Google or to any ad network. Nobody outside this site can read these numbers, not even the people who make these tools.

Neither tool sets a cookie here. No analytics cookies land on your phone.

What we count

  • Pages you open and time on each page
  • The site or search that sent you
  • Browser, phone type, screen size, and system version
  • Rough place (country and city)
  • How far you scroll down the page
  • Which outside link you tap to leave
  • Any extra text after the question mark in an address
  • Your searches in our search box are not counted by our analytics

The full address you tap is kept with the page you left. Your full IP address is never stored. Matomo shortens the address before it saves it. Umami turns it into a one-way ID that cannot be traced back to you. Neither can point to you. No visit record stays on your phone. Your own choices do, in your browser storage.

How long we keep it

Visit records are wiped for good after 24 months. The cleanup runs on a schedule, so a record can sit for up to a month past that. Matomo keeps its old monthly totals, with the page paths but nothing that points to you.

Opt out

Since our analytics sets no cookies, there is nothing to consent to. We still keep the small details listed above, so the opt-out box is there if you want it. Your choice stays in your own browser storage and holds on every visit.

You can also switch on Do Not Track in your browser. This site honors it.

3. Ads and cookies

Ads (switched off)

No ads run on this site today, so no ad cookies are set. If ads ever return, this page will name them before they load. The full cookie list lives on our Cookie Policy page. You can set your ad choices any time at Google Ad Settings or aboutads.info.

4. Your rights

Wherever you live, you can:

  • Ask what personal data we hold about you
  • Fix data that is wrong
  • Delete your data
  • Pull back consent for anything consent-based (such as the newsletter)
  • Object to how we use your data, in some cases

EU readers (GDPR): the rights above are yours under the General Data Protection Regulation. Our analytics sets no cookies, so it needs no consent. For comments and the newsletter, our basis is your consent or our need to run the site and answer you.

California readers (CCPA): you can ask what personal data we collected about you, and ask us to delete it.

To use any of these rights, write to contact@androidscroll.com.

Comment removal: write to us and we will wipe your comment and its data for good.

5. Outside services

This page covers only AndroidScroll. Shops, Google (if ads ever return), MailerLite, and Cloudflare run under their own policies. Cloudflare carries our pages and our analytics tracker, blocks attacks, and hosts our comment service. It sees raw traffic data in the course of that work.

We do not run Google Analytics, and we do not run Cloudflare Analytics.

6. Children

This site is not for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you think a child gave us personal data, write to contact@androidscroll.com and we will delete it fast.

7. Changes to this page

When this page changes, the date changes with it. Staying on the site never counts as signing a new term. Check back when you like.
