Who I Am
Hi, I’m Georgi, and this is my personal blog located at https://mymidnight.site. I run this site to share my thoughts and content—no accounts, no sign-ups, just reading. For GDPR purposes, I’m the data controller, and you can reach me via the contact details below.
What Data I Collect and Why
When you visit my blog, I use a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie doesn’t contain personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
I also use basic analytics (Google Analytics) to track visitor numbers and behavior—like page views or how long you stay. This data is anonymized and doesn’t identify you personally (e.g., I don’t collect your name, email, or IP address in a way that links to you). I do this based on my legitimate interest under GDPR (Article 6(1)(f)) to understand how my blog is used and improve it.
Cookies
As mentioned, the temporary cookie helps me confirm browser compatibility—it’s purely technical and doesn’t track you. If my analytics tool uses cookies, they’re set to anonymize your data (like masking part of your IP). You can block or delete cookies via your browser settings if you prefer.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Some posts might include embedded content (like videos, images, or links) from other sites. Interacting with this content is like visiting those sites directly. Those websites might collect data about you, use cookies, or track your activity—especially if you’re logged into their services. I don’t control their practices, so please check their privacy policies for details.
Who I Share Your Data With
I don’t collect personal data from you via comments or accounts since those features aren’t available. The anonymized analytics data stays with me and my analytics provider (Google Analytics), who processes it on my behalf. I don’t share it with anyone else, and it’s not used to target you.
How Long I Retain Your Data
The temporary cookie vanishes when you close your browser. Analytics data (like page views) may be stored by my analytics tool for up to 26 months, but it’s anonymized and not linked to you as an individual.
Your Rights Under GDPR
Even though I don’t collect personal data, EU law gives you rights over any data I might process:
-
Access: You can ask what data I have about you (though it’s likely just anonymized stats).
-
Rectification: If I ever held inaccurate data, you could ask me to fix it.
-
Erasure: You can request deletion of any personal data (none exists here, but the right applies).
-
Restriction or Objection: You can limit or object to my use of your data (e.g., analytics).
-
Data Portability: You can request a copy of your data in a usable format (not applicable since I don’t collect personal info).
If you’ve got questions or want to exercise these rights, contact me below. You can also complain to a data protection authority (like the one in your EU country) if you’re unhappy with how I handle things.
