# Privacy Policy

> What sade.dev processes and what it does not: no analytics, no accounts, no server-side application. The exceptions that apply to hosting and comments.

Last updated: 8 August 2026

sade.dev is a **static** site. There is no server-side application, no database, no
account system and no form infrastructure. Most of this policy is therefore about
what is **not** collected.

## What is not collected

- **No analytics.** No Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom or any other measurement
  tool. Page views, sessions and visitor counts are not recorded.
- **No tracking cookies.** The site sets no cookies of its own. See the
  [Cookie Policy](/en/cookies) for detail.
- **No ad network**, no behavioural profiling.
- **No accounts, no sign-ups, no newsletter.** There is no form anywhere that asks
  for your name or email address.
- **No requests to Google Fonts.** Typefaces are served from this site, so your IP
  address is never passed to a third-party font host.

## What stays in your browser

None of the following leaves your device:

- **Theme preference.** Your light/dark choice is stored in `localStorage` under the
  key `sade-theme`. It is not a cookie and is never sent to a server; clearing your
  browser's site data removes it.
- **Search.** On-site search runs on [Pagefind](https://pagefind.app). The index is
  downloaded to your browser as static files and the query is executed there. What
  you search for is never sent to any server.
- **Tools.** The JWT Decoder, .env Parser, JSON Formatter and every other tool run
  entirely in your browser. Whatever you paste — tokens, configuration, passwords
  included — never goes over the network.

## Hosting

The site is hosted on **Cloudflare Pages**. When you open a page your request passes
through Cloudflare's infrastructure, and Cloudflare may process technical data such as
IP address, browser information and request time in its own logs, for service delivery
and infrastructure security. Those logs are governed by Cloudflare's own policies;
they are not produced, stored or viewed by us.

## Comments

Comments on article pages are stored in **GitHub Discussions** via
[giscus](https://giscus.app). That component:

- loads **only on article pages**, and **lazily**, after the page itself has loaded;
- never loads on the home page, index pages, tool pages or static pages, this one
  included;
- requires you to sign in with **your own GitHub account** in order to post.

When you comment, your comment and your GitHub username are published in a public
discussion thread on GitHub. That data never touches our infrastructure at any point.
Once the comment component loads, GitHub's privacy policy and terms of service apply;
you can edit or delete your comment through GitHub.

## External links

Articles link to third-party sites, and so does the rest of the site: the home page,
the collection and tag index pages and the tool pages carry sponsored placements and
other outbound boxes, and the footer's links to our profiles elsewhere appear on
every page, this one included. All of them are plain links rendered with our own
markup; nothing is requested from the target site until you follow one. We are not
responsible for the content or the privacy practices of those sites.

## Your rights

Because no record constituting personal data is created here, there is nothing held by
us for you to access, correct or delete. If you have a question about this policy, you
can still write: [info@muhammetsafak.com.tr](mailto:info@muhammetsafak.com.tr)

For data processed by Cloudflare and GitHub, those providers' own privacy policies and
request channels apply.

## Changes

This policy is updated whenever the site's technical behaviour changes. The date of the
most recent update appears at the top of this page.
