Analytics

Who we share your data with

This website takes actions to prevent leaking your data to third parties by setting a Content-Security-Policy Header, which is used by your browser. In which we specified not to load content from external sources (other than this website).

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Additional information

How we protect your data

We put strong CSP Headers in place to prevent your browser from accessing third-party websites when visiting our website. Also, we set "Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin" which means that other pages (also those accessed after clicking a link on our page) will only see that you come from "https://www.frank.fyi" and not which page you viewed.

What data breach procedures do we have in place

Automated IP-based filtering and burst limiting. This means if you perform a massive amount of requests you will get automatically blocked. If you are blocked, you cannot access any service on this server. It will look as if the server is temporarily offline.

What third parties do we receive data from

We receive data from google about our search ranking. Also, other pages that link to us may specify a referrer header. This header can be disabled in some web browsers or with browser add-ons.

What automated decision-making and/or profiling do we do with user data

We are using an automatic spam filtering plugin. Your data is not sent to other servers, and all decisions are made locally. If your comment is considered spam, it is flagged as spam and waiting for administrative approval (Actually currently, no comment is published without administrative approval, as we don't verify your information via E-Mail address and name).
