Privacy Notice

1. Overview

This is the personal website of Yinan Zhou. I value your privacy and want to be transparent about how this site operates.

2. Information Collection

I do not actively collect any personal data from visitors to this site. There are no contact forms, user accounts, or analytics scripts (such as Google Analytics) running on this website.

3. Server Logs

Like most websites, the server hosting this site (Nginx) automatically collects standard access logs. These logs may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and the date and time of your visit. These logs are used solely for security auditing and troubleshooting purposes.

4. Third-Party Services

This website uses Cloudflare for hosting, content delivery, and security. Cloudflare may collect certain data (such as IP addresses and performance metrics) to operate its services. For more information, please refer to Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

This site also contains links to third-party platforms (such as LinkedIn, Instagram, GitHub, Paypal, Venmo, Telegram, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger). When you click on these links, you are leaving this site, and your activity is subject to the privacy policies of those respective platforms.

5. Cookies

This website does not set any cookies.

6. Contact

If you have any questions about this privacy notice, you can reach out to me via the messaging platforms linked on the homepage.

7. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are visiting from the European Union, you have rights regarding your personal data (such as the right to access, delete, or restrict its use). Since I only collect standard server logs for a short period, I do not have sufficient information to identify specific individuals. However, if you wish to exercise any rights, you can contact me. Logs are automatically deleted after 30 days.
