Privacy Policy
This page explains what this website collects, why, and what you can do about it. It covers this site only. Data inside client projects is covered by the agreement for each project.
Who I am
Sten Millend, an independent web developer in Tallinn, Estonia, is the data controller for this website. You can reach me at sten@millend.eu or on +372 5850 1132.
What I collect
When you contact me
If you send a message through the contact form, I receive what you put in it: your name, email address, phone number if given, subject and message. A copy is emailed to me and a copy is stored on the server, outside the public web folder, so no enquiry is lost if email fails. I keep enquiries for as long as they are useful for our work together and delete them on request.
The contact form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, loaded only on the page with the form. Cloudflare processes some technical information about your browser to decide whether the submission is automated. Turnstile does not use tracking cookies and does not profile you across websites. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
Analytics
This site counts visits with Rybbit, a privacy-friendly analytics tool I host myself on the same EU server as the site. It records which pages are viewed, the referring site, browser, device type, country, page speed, clicks on links and buttons, and whether the contact form was sent (never what you typed in it).
No cookies, no advertising pixel, no third-party statistics. Rybbit does not store your IP address, and the visitor identifier it uses is anonymised with a salt that changes every day, so visits cannot be tied to you or followed across websites. The data stays on my server and is never shared or sold.
Cookies
This site sets no tracking or advertising cookies, which is why there is no cookie banner.
Server logs
The site runs on a Hetzner server in Helsinki, Finland, inside the EU. Like most web servers, it records basic technical details of each request, such as IP address, browser and the page requested. These logs keep the site running and secure, and are deleted automatically within 14 days.
What I do not do
I do not sell your data, run advertising on this website, or build profiles of visitors.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask what data I hold about you, get a copy of it, have it corrected or deleted, and object to how it is used. Email sten@millend.eu and I will reply within 30 days. You can also complain to the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate (Andmekaitse Inspektsioon).
Changes
If this policy changes, I will update this page and the date below.
