This Privacy Policy explains what information BytebaseX (bytebasex.com) collects, what tools we use to run this site, and what choices you have. By using this site, you agree to what's described below.
Information You Provide Directly
BytebaseX doesn't require an account or login to read anything here. The information we get directly from you comes through two channels, and only when you choose to use them:
- Comments: Depending on what's enabled, you can comment anonymously, with your Google Account, or with just a name and an optional URL. Either way, the comment itself is stored and processed by Blogger, which Google operates. On our end, we only see the comment text and whatever name or link you choose to attach to it.
- Contact Form: Our Contact page uses a form powered by EmailJS to deliver messages to our inbox. When you submit it, the name, email, and message you enter are sent to us through EmailJS. We use this only to read and reply to you. It's not added to any mailing list or database, and we delete it once your query is resolved.
Outside of these two channels, BytebaseX doesn't collect personal information from visitors without your direct action.
Newsletter Subscription
If you subscribe to blog updates by email, that's handled through a third-party service, follow.it. The email you provide goes directly to follow.it to manage your subscription and send you updates. We don't store or access your subscriber list ourselves. You can unsubscribe anytime using the link in every email.
Cookies
This site may use cookies for basic functionality, analytics, and advertising. A cookie notice, built into our theme, appears on your first visit to let you know cookies may be in use. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings anytime, though this may affect how some parts of the site work, like remembering that you've seen the notice.
Third-Party Services We Use
To run, secure, and improve BytebaseX, we rely on a number of outside services. We use each one for the purpose listed below. What each one actually collects and how it handles that data is covered by their own privacy policy, not ours:
- Google Analytics (GA4): Helps us understand how visitors use this site, like which pages are popular. See Google's Privacy Policy.
- Google Search Console: Helps us monitor how the site performs in Google Search. It doesn't interact with visitors directly.
- Google AdSense: When enabled, may be used to display ads on this site. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits here and elsewhere. You can manage this through Google's Ads Settings or opt out of interest-based ads from participating companies at aboutads.info.
- Google Fonts & Google-hosted scripts: Used to load fonts and a few code libraries on this site. See Google's Fonts Privacy FAQ.
- EmailJS: Delivers messages submitted through our Contact form. See EmailJS's Privacy Policy.
- follow.it: Manages email newsletter subscriptions, as described above. See follow.it's Privacy Policy.
- Cloudflare: Handles domain security, performance, and routing (including Cloudflare Workers). Cloudflare may process standard technical data, like IP addresses, while doing this. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
- Cloudflare Pages & GitHub: Host and deliver the images and other static assets on this site (our CDN). These are infrastructure services, and normal server logs may apply.
- Social share buttons: Built with plain JavaScript on our end. No data goes to a third party or API when you use them.
- External API-based tools: A few tools here, like the website screenshot generator, send what you enter (such as a URL) to a third-party API to generate the result. We don't store that input ourselves, though the API provider may process or retain it under their own policy.
Since BytebaseX runs on Blogger, a Google product, the platform itself may also use its own cookies for basic functionality and security. Google explains this further at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
BytebaseX isn't connected to any other third-party advertising network, affiliate program, tracking service, or data broker except what's listed above.
Third-Party Links
Some posts link out to other sites or tools for reference. Once you click through and leave BytebaseX, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We'd recommend checking the privacy policy of any site you visit from here.
Children's Privacy
BytebaseX is a general technology blog and isn't directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has shared personal information with us through our Contact Form, please contact us and we'll delete it.
Data Retention
We don't maintain a visitor database. Messages submitted through our Contact form are kept only as long as needed to respond, then deleted. Data handled by the third-party services above, like Analytics or your newsletter subscription, is retained according to that service's own settings, not ours.
Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on applicable law, like the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA in California, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data you've shared with us. You can also block or delete non-essential cookies through your browser settings at any time. If you'd like to know how a message was handled, want it deleted sooner, or want to unsubscribe from something, just reach out through our Contact page.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated occasionally to reflect changes in the tools we use or to stay aligned with legal requirements. Updates will be posted here with a new "Last updated" date, so it's worth checking back once in a while.
For the terms of using this site, see our Terms and Conditions. For details on content sharing and liability, see our Disclaimer.
