Effective date: July 24, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how humfurie.org ("the Site," "we," "us," or "our"), operated by Humphrey Singculan, collects, uses, and protects information when you visit the Site or interact with its features.
1. Who We Are
The Site is a personal web development studio, portfolio, and blog published at https://humfurie.org, covering software engineering, homelab/self-hosting, and personal writing. You can contact us using the details in Section 8.
2. Information We Collect
- Comments — if you leave a comment on a blog post, we collect the content of the comment along with your name, email address, and IP address, to help detect spam and to display attribution.
- Contact form submissions — if you reach out via the contact page, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide.
- Log and usage data — like most websites, our hosting infrastructure automatically records standard technical data (IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring URL, timestamps) for security and diagnostic purposes.
- Cookies — the Site may use minimal cookies for basic functionality and, where enabled, aggregated/anonymized visit statistics.
We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
3. How We Use Information
- Operate, maintain, and secure the Site
- Display and moderate comments
- Respond to inquiries sent through the contact form
- Understand aggregate traffic patterns to improve content
- Detect and prevent abuse, spam, or security incidents
We do not sell your personal information.
4. Third-Party Services
The Site relies on third-party infrastructure providers (including Cloudflare, and our own self-hosted server infrastructure) to operate. These providers may process technical/log data as part of delivering the Site to you. If embedded third-party content (such as YouTube videos or social share widgets) is present on a page, that provider may set its own cookies when you interact with it.
5. Data Retention
Comment and contact-form data is retained as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, or until you request deletion. Technical log data is retained for a limited period for security purposes and then rotated out.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information submitted to the Site. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
