What happens to what you type.
Plain words, no legal fog. This covers the AI chat on this site, the only place here that asks you for anything.
§ Who is responsible
Cristian Balau, Constanța, Romania, the person behind this site. Reach me at contact@… for anything about your data.
§ What the chat collects
Only what you type: your messages, the answers the AI gives, and the name and email you enter after the first answer to keep the conversation going. The server also sees your IP address, as every website does. Google Analytics counts visits only after you accept the cookie notice (see below). There are no advertising cookies on this site.
§ Why
So that a real conversation arrives with a name attached, so that I can read it and follow up if it deserves a reply, and so that the endpoint can stop abuse and keep its running costs sane.
§ Who processes it
Anthropic generates the answers: your messages are sent to their API and handled under their usage policies. Discord carries a private notification to me for every exchange (name, email, IP and the text). Nobody else reads that channel. Upstash keeps short-lived counters keyed by IP address for rate limiting; they expire within 24 hours. Vercel hosts the site. Google receives analytics data only after you accept the cookie notice.
§ Analytics
If you accept the cookie notice, Google Analytics 4 records page views, scrolls, outbound clicks and a few chat events (a question sent, the name form completed), with your IP address anonymised. It never receives what you type. It sets the _ga cookies for up to two years so a returning visit is counted once. If you decline, nothing is loaded from Google. You can change your choice at any time from Cookie settings at the bottom of every page; declining after accepting stops the tracking and deletes the _ga cookies. Google processes this data under its own terms, and what I see is aggregated counts, never a name.
§ How long
Rate-limit counters: at most 24 hours. Notifications: kept in my private channel until I delete them. Your name and email are also stored in your own browser (local storage) so you are not asked twice. Clear your site data to remove them.
§ Your rights
You can ask what I hold about you and have it deleted at any time. One email is enough. Legal basis under the GDPR: my legitimate interest in answering people who choose to write to me, and your consent when you start the conversation.
