Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 24, 2025

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Laoutaris Pashalis ("I", "me", or "my") collects, uses, and discloses your information when you visit this portfolio website, laoutaris.org (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

My goal is to collect as little information as possible. The information collected is used to improve the website's functionality and user experience.

  • Log Files and Analytics: Like many site operators, this website's hosting provider (Cloudflare) and search analytics (Google Search Console) may collect standard information that your browser sends. This may include your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, pages visited, and the time and date of your visit. This data is aggregated and anonymized and does not personally identify you.
  • Cookies and Local Storage: This Site uses `localStorage` to save your theme preference (light or dark mode). This is a functional cookie that stores no personal information and is used solely to enhance your viewing experience on subsequent visits.

3. Use of Information

The information collected is used for the following purposes:

  • To operate and maintain the Site.
  • To understand and analyze how you use the Site, helping to improve its content and functionality.
  • To remember your site preferences, such as your chosen color theme.

4. Third-Party Links

This Site contains links to other websites that are not operated by me (such as GitHub, Google Play, and Amazon). If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. I have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

5. Your Data Rights

As I do not collect personally identifiable information directly, your main right pertains to clearing your browser's `localStorage`. You can clear your browser's cache and data at any time to remove the stored theme preference. For any other inquiries, please use the contact information below.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.

7. Contact Me
