[ PRIVACY / HOW THIS SITE WORKS ]
PRIVACY.
A personal website should be straightforward about personal data. Here is how this one works.
Last updated: 27 October 2026.
Who is responsible?
This site, danpod.nl, is run by Danylo Podolyan in The Hague, the Netherlands. I am responsible for the personal data I handle through this website and its correspondence. For privacy questions, contact: hello@danpod.nl.
When you visit
This website is a static site. There are no visitor accounts, contact forms, newsletter sign-ups, advertising pixels or marketing trackers in the website code. The fonts and website assets are served from this domain.
The appearance switch follows your device settings by default. If you explicitly choose Light or Dark, the site stores only your preference in your browser’s local storage (danpod.theme) so it can remember your choice. Choosing Auto clears the saved preference. This functional setting is not used to track visitors.
To deliver and protect the site, Cloudflare Pages and Cloudflare’s network may process technical request information, such as your IP address, requested URL, date and time, browser or device information, and security signals. Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies, for example if it needs to check whether traffic is automated. I do not use these for cross-site advertising or profiling.
If you email me
When you contact me by email, I receive your email address, the contents of your message and any other information you choose to include. I use it to read and respond to your message, manage related follow-up and protect against abuse. This website does not collect messages through a web form.
Why data is processed
Where the GDPR applies, the legal basis for essential website delivery, security and ordinary correspondence is my legitimate interest in operating a secure personal website and responding to messages (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where you ask me to take steps relating to a possible agreement, Article 6(1)(b) may also apply. I do not sell visitor data or use it for targeted advertising.
Services and international processing
Cloudflare provides hosting, DNS and security services. Email sent to hello@danpod.nl is forwarded by Cloudflare Email Routing to my Gmail inbox, provided by Google. Cloudflare and Google process message contents and related delivery data to provide email services. See Google’s Privacy Policy as well. Cloudflare operates an international network, so technical data may be processed outside the European Economic Area under its applicable data protection arrangements. See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy for details.
Cookies and analytics
I have not added non-essential analytics, advertising cookies or third-party tracking scripts. Cloudflare may use necessary security cookies when providing protection. These are used for site security rather than advertising. If I add optional analytics or other services in the future, I will update this notice and ask for consent where required.
How long information is kept
I do not maintain a separate visitor database or independent website access-log archive. Cloudflare handles technical logs under its own applicable retention practices. I keep correspondence only for as long as it is needed to deal with the enquiry, any related follow-up or legal requirements; it is deleted when no longer necessary.
Your choices and rights
Depending on the circumstances, you can ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, restrict its use, object to processing or request portability. You may also complain to the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens. To make a request about information I control, use the contact address above.
External links and changes
Links to other websites are governed by their own privacy practices once you visit them. I do not use automated decision-making or profiling on this site. If the website’s services change, I will update this notice and its date.
