Request logs
StackSmithy runs on Cloudflare Workers. For each request, Workers Logs records details of the request and response, including the method and the URL, with related metadata. The logs are written to StackSmithy's Cloudflare account. Cloudflare's documentation gives a maximum retention of 7 days. Cloudflare has its own privacy policy.
Clicks on partner links
A partner link goes through an address under /visit/. The request logs then also hold the tool you chose and two codes: p, the page the link was on, and pos, its position on that page. These codes are not passed to the tool's site. Once you arrive there, that site's own policy applies.
If you write to corrections@stacksmithy.com, StackSmithy receives your address and your message.
Who is responsible
The editor of StackSmithy, who signs as Tom Rider, is responsible for the data described on this page. For any question about it, write to corrections@stacksmithy.com.
Legal bases and applicable law
Where the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation applies, request logs and partner-link codes are processed on the basis of legitimate interest: running the site, keeping it secure and knowing which links are used. Emails are processed on the same basis, to answer them. StackSmithy does not sell personal information and does not use it for targeted advertising.
Cookie consent
StackSmithy sets no cookies of its own and runs no analytics, so it asks for no cookie consent.
Keeping data
Request logs are kept for the period given above, then deleted by Cloudflare. Emails are kept while the report they contain is handled, and deleted within 12 months.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete the data StackSmithy holds about you by writing to corrections@stacksmithy.com. You get an answer within 30 days. Where the General Data Protection Regulation applies, you can also complain to your data protection authority.
