This website is a personal portfolio and a technical demonstration of self-hosted infrastructure. I take data privacy seriously and operate with a ”privacy-by-design” mindset.
1. Data Controller
The data on this website is managed solely by me:
- Name: Ville-Einari Jääskeläinen
- Location: Drammen, Norway
- Contact: [email protected]
2. Infrastructure and Data Ownership
Unlike traditional websites hosted on large commercial clouds, this site is self-hosted on my own hardware (Debian-based server).
- No Third-Party Access: I do not sell, trade, or share any data with third-party advertisers or data brokers.
- Data Sovereignty: All site data resides on my physical server, giving me full control over who (if anyone) can access the logs.
3. Visitor Tracking and Analytics
To maintain a high level of privacy, this website follows these principles:
- No Cookies: Currently, this site does not use cookies for regular visitors. You can browse freely without being ”followed” by tracking scripts.
- Server Logs: Like almost all web servers, my Debian system logs basic connection info (such as masked IP addresses and browser types). These logs are used exclusively for:
- Monitoring site performance.
- Preventing malicious attacks (DDoS/Brute force).
- Seeing high-level traffic (e.g., ”someone from Norway visited the HomeLab page”).
- Cloudflare: Traffic is routed through Cloudflare to ensure a secure connection (SSL/TLS) and to protect the home network from cyber threats. Cloudflare may process basic network metadata to filter out bots and malicious traffic.
4. Contact and Communications
If you choose to contact me via the email, I will only use your information to respond to your inquiry. Your contact details will never be added to marketing lists.
5. Your Rights
Under the GDPR, you have the right to ask what data is being held. However, since I do not collect personal profiles or use tracking cookies, I generally do not hold any identifiable data about casual visitors.
