What we collect

We aim to collect as little personal data as possible. The categories we currently process:

Server logs

When you visit byte-pulse.net, our hosting provider (Vercel Inc., USA) automatically records technical data: your IP address, user-agent, referrer, requested URL, and timestamp. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in operating the site securely. Logs are retained briefly (typically 30 days) and then deleted by the provider.

Cookies

The site itself does not set tracking cookies. Cloudflare (DNS provider) may set a small technical cookie for security; this is necessary for the site to load.

Advertising (when activated)

Google AdSense may be enabled in the future. When active, Google sets cookies to display personalized ads and measure performance. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR — consent (you will see a cookie banner). You can review Google's practices at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Recipients of your data

Vercel Inc. (hosting, USA — adequacy via SCCs)
Cloudflare Inc. (DNS, USA — adequacy via SCCs)
Turso (database, EU — Ireland)
OpenAI (content generation — no user data is sent; only RSS source text)

Your rights (GDPR)

You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (Art. 15)
Request rectification (Art. 16) or erasure (Art. 17)
Restrict processing (Art. 18)
Data portability (Art. 20)
Object to processing (Art. 21)
Lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority (in Germany: the data-protection authority of your federal state, e.g. LDI NRW for North Rhine-Westphalia)

To exercise any of these rights, email hi@byte-pulse.net.

The newsletter is currently inactive. When it launches, we will only store your email address with explicit double-opt-in consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR). You will be able to unsubscribe at any time with one click.

We may update this notice as the site evolves. The current version is always reachable at byte-pulse.net/privacy.
