Welcome to Clean Code Stack (accessible from https://cleancodestack.com).
Your privacy is very important to us. This Privacy Policy document describes the types of information collected and recorded by Clean Code Stack and how we use it.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Personal Information:
Since Clean Code Stack is an open blog with no user login or registration, we only collect limited personal information if you contact us directly through our email or contact form, or when you leave a comment. This may include your name, email address, and the content of your message or comment. - Non-Personal Information:
When you visit our website, we automatically collect data such as your IP address, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. This information helps us analyze trends and administer the site. It is not linked to anything personally identifiable.
2. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
3. Cookies
Like most websites, Clean Code Stack uses “cookies.” Cookies store visitor preferences and track which pages are visited. This helps us optimize user experience by customizing web content based on visitors’ browser type and other information.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you prefer, you can disable cookies through your browser settings. Detailed cookie management instructions are available in each browser’s help section.
4. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos, images, code snippets, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
5. Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display ads on our site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on users’ visits to this and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
For more information, please review Google’s Privacy & Terms.
6. How We Use Your Information
We may use collected information to:
- Operate and maintain our website
- Improve, personalize, and expand our content
- Understand and analyze how you use our site
- Communicate with you if you reach out to us
- Detect and prevent fraud or abuse
7. How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
8. Data Protection Rights (GDPR)
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights. You are entitled to:
- Access and request copies of your personal data
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Object to our processing of your personal data
- Request data portability
If you have left comments or contacted us, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
To exercise these rights, please contact us at contact@cleancodestack.com.
9. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
10. Children’s Information
Clean Code Stack does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under 13.
If you believe your child has provided such information, please contact us immediately at contact@cleancodestack.com, and we will promptly remove it from our records.
