Privacy Policy

This is the personal website of Tamir Amitai at tamir.tech. It is a static site: there are no accounts, no forms, and nothing to sign up for. The only personal data it handles comes from Google Analytics and the hosting provider's request logs. This page explains both, in plain terms.
What this site collects
Two things, both automatic:
- Usage analytics through Google Analytics 4: which pages are viewed, when, from what kind of device and browser, and an approximate location derived from your IP address.
- Server request logs kept by the hosting provider: your IP address, the page requested, the time, and your browser's user-agent string.
Nothing else. This site never asks for your name, email address, or any other information, and it has no way to receive it.
Google Analytics
Every page loads Google Analytics 4 (property G-9BQ2NRQ9X7) from googletagmanager.com. It records
page views and basic technical details and sends them to Google, which processes them on my behalf. I use the resulting
reports to see which pages are read and whether the site works on the devices people actually use. I do not use Google
Signals, advertising features, remarketing, or any user-ID feature, and I do not link analytics data to anything that
identifies you.
Google Analytics 4 does not log or store full IP addresses; the approximate location is derived at collection time and the address is then discarded. Event-level data is retained in Google Analytics for the default period of two months before it is deleted. Aggregated reports do not contain per-person data.
How Google handles this data is described in How Google uses information from sites that use its services and Google's Privacy Policy. Google may process the data in the United States.
Cookies
The only cookies on this site are set by Google Analytics:
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
_ga | A random identifier that tells Analytics whether a visit is from a new or returning browser. | 2 years |
_ga_9BQ2NRQ9X7 | Keeps track of the current session for this property. | 2 years |
The site itself sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser's local storage. Fonts are bundled with the site and
served from tamir.tech, so no request goes to Google Fonts.
Hosting and server logs
The site is served by DigitalOcean App Platform. Like any web server, it logs each request, including your IP address, the URL, the time, and your user-agent. I use these logs only for diagnosing problems and spotting abuse. DigitalOcean's handling of this data is covered by its privacy policy.
The site's source code is public on GitHub, so you can check everything on this page against what actually ships.
What this site does not do
- It does not collect names, email addresses, or any data you type in. There is nowhere to type it.
- It does not sell, rent, or share personal data with anyone other than the two providers named above.
- It does not show ads or use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
- It does not embed social media widgets, comment systems, or chat tools.
- It does not process sensitive personal data of any kind.
Links to other sites
The footer links to my profiles on GitHub and LinkedIn. Once you follow a link, that site's privacy policy applies, not this one.
Your choices and rights
The simplest way to keep Google Analytics from seeing your visit is to block it:
- Install Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Use a content blocker or a browser privacy setting that blocks
googletagmanager.com. The site works fully without it. - Delete or block cookies for
tamir.techin your browser.
Analytics does not respond to the Do Not Track browser signal. Because nothing on this site identifies you, I cannot look up, correct, or delete a specific person's analytics record. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, California, or another place with data-protection law, you still have the rights that law gives you (access, deletion, objection, and complaint to a supervisory authority); use the contact below and I will do what is possible with the data that exists. The legal basis for the processing described here is my legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used and keeping it running.
Children
This site is not directed at children and knowingly collects no information from anyone under 13.
Changes to this notice
If I add anything that collects data (a contact form, for example), this page will be updated first and the date at the top will change. The history of this page is in the site's git log.
