Privacy on this website

Last updated: 2024-06-18

The blurb

I'm not sure if I should call this a "privacy policy", since the word "policy" is in there. However, this documents the current practices which are related to your privacy.

The tl;dr is:

Definitions

This list is not exhaustive, and primarily intended to alleviate confusion about some stuff.

Notable other Third-parties' services in use

These are used in a wide range of things.

=> Let's Encrypt - Certificates | deSEC - DNS Nameservers

=> SourceHut (especially sourcehut pages) | SourceHut Terms of Service | SourceHut Privacy Policy

The static websites

For these websites:

=> https://backup.jacksonchen666.com/ | https://microblogging.jacksonchen666.com/ | https://status.jacksonchen666.com/

They're hosted with sourcehut pages. SourceHut does log some information, and SourceHut's logging configuration is available at the following link:

=> SourceHut's logging configuration

Self-hosted HTTP stuff

Applies to all domains and subdomains under:

Domains listed above will reach the self-hosted server.

Logging

Server logs for server applications (e.g. Mastodon) are default settings. No further information is provided here because I don't know any better.

Server logs configuration for the reverse proxy (i.e. nginx) is the following:

log_format vcombined '$host:$server_port $remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" $status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" "$http_user_agent" $request_length';

This allows us to see the following information:

The above is just an overview. Below is the exact technical information

logged:

The information logged for HTTP requests are:

(Modified) Example:

subdomain.jacksonchen666.com:443 192.0.2.231 - - [01/Jan/1970:00:00:00 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 404 2147483648 "-" "Not a bot, definately not." 500 0.000

The visitor's IP address is 192.0.2.231 in this example.

Data retention

The logs are stored up to 4 days. They are not included in backups.

Self-hosted servers are located in Hungary.

Data sharing

Logs may be shared with others for troubleshooting purposes. The other

people can be with people who are not involved in running these servers.

Any logs that is shared will be redacted of personally identifiable

information.

Self-hosted Gemini stuff

Information that is logged for every request is:

(Modified) Example:

[1970-01-01T00:00:00Z INFO  agate] [::ffff:192.168.1.74]:1965 - "gemini://jacksonchen666.com/" 20 "text/gemini;lang=en"

The IP address 192.168.1.74 is not the visitor's IP address.

Backups for self-hosted servers

We create multiple copies of our server and store it on-site and off-site to

prevent complete data loss. That's backups, by the way.

Backup retention

Backups are retained for 4 weeks at maximum. Any backups older than 4 weeks

will be deleted unless it is required (e.g. restoring an old backup).

Backed up information

Rule of thumb: We backup everything. Some things are excluded if deemed not

important/critical to operation.

The backups contain:

The backups do not contain:

Tools and services

We use the following to create, manage, synchronize and store backups:

=> Borgbackup | bupstash | BorgBase (off-site backup, only using Europe regions)

Email

=> Migadu | Simplelogin

Miscellaneous Third-parties' services in use

([ToS][sr.ht_TOS] & [privacy][sr.ht_privacy])

=> lists sourcehut for email comments on blog posts | SourceHut Terms of Service | SourceHut Privacy Policy

Opt-out

How? There isn't something you could opt out of here other than well... Not touching anything related here.

(Ideas are welcome)

The past

These things are included because they have some significance

Email

=> Namecheap | Gandi

Nameservers and domain registrar also applies, but not the dates. Those dates are for the email service.

Submissions

On jacksonchen666.com, you were able to submit questions, ideas, and feedback, which are collectively called "Submissions".

We use git, a distributed version control tool. Due to the design of git, deleting past versions of this website cannot be truly achieved as everyone has a copy of the website including the history, therefore, the data for "Submissions" cannot be completely removed.

The function has been removed from the website, but as stated above, he data cannot be truly removed.
