Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 22, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and disclosed when you visit ilyakam.com, a personal portfolio and blog website operated by Ilya Kaminsky.

Information You Provide

The website does not currently provide user accounts, payment processing, comment submission, or other public user-generated-content features. It does not ask you to submit your name, telephone number, mailing address, payment information, or blog comments.

If you contact me outside the website, such as by email or through a linked social platform, the information you provide is handled through that service and may be retained as reasonably necessary to respond to you.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the website, the hosting platform and analytics providers may automatically receive information supplied by your browser or device, including:

  • Internet Protocol address.
  • Browser and device type, version, and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and links followed.
  • Referring page or website.
  • Date and time of visits and time spent on pages.
  • Approximate location derived from an IP address.
  • Diagnostic, security, performance, and other statistical information.

This information is used to operate, secure, understand, and improve the website.

Analytics and Operational Providers

The website may use the following standard services:

  • Google Analytics to understand aggregate visitor activity and website performance.
  • PostHog to understand product usage, navigation patterns, and website performance.
  • Cloudflare to host, deliver, protect, monitor, and troubleshoot the website, including through Cloudflare Pages and operational or observability logs.

These providers may use cookies, local storage, scripts, pixels, or similar technologies and process information according to their own privacy policies. Analytics tools may not be active at all times, but this Policy is intended to describe their expected use when enabled.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website may use cookies or similar browser storage for analytics, security, performance, and visitor preferences. For example, the website stores your selected color theme in local storage.

You can configure your browser to reject or delete cookies and site data. Disabling them may affect preferences or features that rely on browser storage.

How Information Is Used

Information may be used to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the website.
  • Understand readership, traffic, and navigation patterns.
  • Diagnose errors and monitor availability and performance.
  • Protect the website, visitors, and infrastructure from abuse or security threats.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce applicable terms.

I do not sell personal information. I do not use the website to collect or publish user-generated comments at this time.

Sharing Information

Information may be shared with service providers that host, deliver, secure, monitor, or analyze the website, including the providers named above. These providers may access information only as needed to perform their services and are subject to their own contractual and legal obligations.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, protect rights or safety, investigate misuse, or complete a reorganization or transfer of the website.

Data Retention

Analytics and operational information is retained according to the settings and retention policies of the applicable provider and only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including security, troubleshooting, analysis, and legal compliance.

International Processing

The website and its service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Privacy and data-protection laws in those locations may differ from those where you live.

Security

Commercially reasonable safeguards are used to protect the website and information associated with it. However, no internet transmission, hosted service, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed completely secure or reliable.

The website contains links to independently operated websites and services. I do not control and am not responsible for their content, security, privacy policies, or practices. Review the privacy policy of any third-party service you visit.

Children’s Privacy

The website is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through or in connection with the website, please contact me so appropriate action can be taken.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding personal information, including rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing. You may also control cookies and browser storage through your browser settings and use available opt-out controls offered by analytics providers.

Requests can be made using the contact information below. I may need to verify a request before acting on it, and some information may be retained where required or permitted by law.

Changes to This Policy

This Policy may be updated from time to time. Changes take effect when the revised Policy is posted on this page. The “Last updated” date will identify the latest version.
