Privacy policy

In short

This site sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device and loads nothing from third parties. It counts visits with a self-hosted, cookieless statistics tool that never stores IP addresses. The only other personal data involved is what you choose to send by email.

Who is responsible

Marius Van Pee, Brussels, Belgium, is the data controller. Contact: mariusvanpee@hotmail.be.

Cookies

No cookies are set, and nothing is written to local storage, session storage or any similar browser storage, including by the statistics tool. That is why there is no cookie banner.

Visiting the site

Pages are served from a server rented from OVH in Gravelines, France, inside the European Union. The server keeps no access logs with IP addresses. As the network operator, OVH may process technical connection data, such as IP addresses, to run and protect its infrastructure, under its own privacy policy.

Fonts are served from this site, not from Google or any other third party.

Audience statistics

To know how many people visit the site and which parts they use, I run Umami, an open-source statistics tool that I host myself on the same OVH server. Nothing is sent to a third party. For each page view it records the page, the referring site, the browser, operating system, device type, screen size, language and an approximate location (country, region, city) derived from the IP address. It also records a few named actions: opening LinkedIn, GitHub or the CV, and scrolling through the whole portfolio.

The IP address is never stored. Combined with the browser details, it only serves to compute a pseudonymous visitor identifier that changes every month, so visits cannot be followed over time or linked to you. The statistics are kept for as long as the site exists. The legal basis is the legitimate interest in understanding how the portfolio is used (GDPR, Article 6(1)(f)).

To opt out, block requests to mvpee.be/stats in your content blocker.

Ask palette and email button

Questions typed into the Ask palette (⌘K) are matched in your browser and are never sent anywhere. The copy button only puts the email address in your clipboard.

When you send an email

If you write to mariusvanpee@hotmail.be, I receive your email address, your name and your message. They are used only to reply, are not shared, and are deleted once they are no longer needed for the conversation. The legal basis is the legitimate interest in answering you (GDPR, Article 6(1)(f)).

The mailbox is provided by Microsoft (Outlook.com), which processes messages under its own terms.

External sites

Links to LinkedIn, GitHub and client websites open third-party sites, where their own privacy policies apply.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, you can ask to access, correct or delete your data, restrict or object to its processing, and receive it in a portable format. Write to mariusvanpee@hotmail.be.

You can also lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority, Rue de la Presse 35, 1000 Brussels (dataprotectionauthority.be↗(opens in a new tab)).
