Privacy Policy

1. What this policy covers

This policy covers romanosboraine.com, my personal website. In this policy, "I" and "me" refer to Romanos Boraine, and "you" refers to anyone who visits the site.

It does not cover Evidence Systems. The company has its own website and its own privacy policy at evidencesystems.co.za.

2. What I do not collect

This site has no contact forms, no mailing list sign-ups, no user accounts and no lead capture of any kind. I do not ask you to submit personal information to use it.

3. Email

If you email me at hello@romanosboraine.com, I receive your email address, your name if you include it and whatever you write. I use that only to read and reply to your message. I do not add you to any mailing list and I do not sell or share your details.

4. Analytics

I use three analytics tools to understand how many people visit the site and which pages they read:

• Vercel Analytics, provided by Vercel, the company that hosts this site. It records page views and basic technical details such as browser, device type and country.
• Google Analytics (tag G-3ZMJDF0XVT), provided by Google. It may set cookies in your browser and records details such as the pages you visit, how you arrived at the site, your approximate location, and your device and browser.
• Ahrefs Web Analytics, provided by Ahrefs. It records page views and referring sites.

I look at this information in aggregate. I do not use it to identify individual visitors. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can use a browser extension or setting that blocks analytics scripts. The site works the same either way.

5. Hosting and server logs

The site is hosted on Vercel. Like most web hosts, Vercel processes technical information such as IP addresses and request details so that it can serve pages and keep the service secure.

6. Content editor

The site has a content editor at /admin that only I use. Signing in to it goes through GitHub and sets a short-lived cookie for that sign-in. Visitors never need to use it.

7. Links to other websites

This site links to my social profiles and to other websites. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and I am not responsible for how they handle information.

8. Your rights

You can ask me what personal information I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. In practice the only personal information I am likely to hold is an email you sent me. You can also lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator in South Africa.

9. Changes to this policy

If I change this policy, I will publish the new version on this page with a new date.

10. Contact
