# Privacy

Canonical: https://whyvanamali.com/privacy

This is the personal website of Krishna Veera Vanamali: a static site with no accounts, sign-ups, newsletters, comments, ads or forms. Nothing about you is collected on purpose.

## What is recorded

- **Hosting.** The site runs on Vercel, which keeps short-lived request logs (IP address, browser, page, time) to operate and protect the service, as any host does.
- **Analytics.** Vercel Web Analytics counts visits in aggregate, without cookies. Google Analytics and PostHog record page views so it is possible to see which essays get read; each stores a random identifier in a first-party cookie (PostHog also in localStorage) to tell visits apart. No names, no emails, no advertising. A content blocker or disabled JavaScript stops all three, and the site still works.
- **Embedded content.** Posts that embed a YouTube video load YouTube's player, and posts with an attached PDF load the viewer script from the unpkg.com CDN; those services see your IP address when that content loads. Links to other sites are governed by those sites.

That is the whole list. The Markdown, JSON and MCP interfaces for software serve only published content and record nothing beyond the hosting logs above.
