Privacy policy

Last updated: November 27, 2025

 

1. Who I Am

This website is operated by Karin Cheng (“I”, “me”, “my”).
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact me at:
karin-cheng@hotmail.com

 

2. What Personal Data I Collect

This website does not directly collect personal data from visitors.
However, I use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site.
Because Google Analytics collects data such as IP addresses, this is considered personal data under GDPR.
I do not have access to your full IP address or any data that identifies you personally.

 

3. How and Why Data Is Collected

I use Google Analytics to gather basic website statistics such as:

  • which pages are visited
  • how long visitors stay
  • which browser or device is used
  • general geographic region (e.g., country)

 

What Google collects

Google Analytics may process:

  • IP address (with IP anonymization enabled)
  • device information
  • browser information
  • cookies and unique identifiers

 

Purpose

This information helps me improve the website and understand what content visitors find useful.

 

4. Legal Basis for Processing

The legal basis for using Google Analytics is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).
This is why you will see a cookie banner when you first visit the site.
Analytics only run after you accept.

 

5. Cookies

Google Analytics uses cookies to recognize returning visitors.
You can refuse these cookies through the cookie banner or by adjusting your browser settings

 

6. Data Processing by Google

Google processes analytics data on my behalf.
This means Google is a “data processor”.
Google may store data on servers located outside the EU, including in the United States.
Google participates in the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

 

7. How Long Data Is Kept

Google Analytics retains non-identifiable analytics data for 14 months depending on my settings.
I do not store personal data myself.

 

8. Your GDPR Rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

  • access your personal data
  • request correction or deletion
  • withdraw consent at any time
  • object to processing
  • file a complaint with your local data protection authority

 

However:

I cannot identify you personally because I do not have access to identifiable analytics data.
Requests will apply only to data stored by Google on my behalf.

 

9. How to Withdraw Consent

You can withdraw analytics consent anytime by:

  • clearing cookies in your browser
  • rejecting cookies via the cookie banner
  • using your browser’s Do Not Track settings

 

10. Changes to This Policy

I may update this privacy policy occasionally.
The latest version will always be published on this page.
