This policy describes how information is handled on allencoin.com, Allen Coin's personal website.
Analytics and cookies
I use Google Analytics 4, delivered through Google Tag Manager, to understand how people find and use this website. Analytics can collect pages viewed, interactions, referral information,
browser and device information, and approximate location. It uses cookies and similar technologies to distinguish visits and measure usage.
Google processes information through these services. You can read about how Google uses information from sites that use
its services and Google's Privacy Policy .
Privacy settings and regional defaults
Open Privacy from the Start menu or use Privacy settings on this page to control analytics and embedded videos separately. Analytics stays off while the site checks an approximate
connection region. Connections classified as EEA (including its covered territories), UK, Switzerland, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Jersey, or Guernsey are asked first; other recognized regions
default to analytics and embedded videos on. If the check fails, analytics stays off unless you enable it. Region is not a statement of nationality.
When either service has no saved choice, a Cloudflare service checks the connection region. Cloudflare receives your IP address and other connection information. The service returns only a
regional policy classification; this website does not save your IP address or country. Cloudflare's own processing is described in its Privacy Policy .
Explicit privacy choices are stored in this browser for up to 180 days. They take precedence over regional defaults. A Global Privacy Control signal keeps analytics off even if you
previously allowed it. Privacy choices and accessibility settings are not sent to analytics. Ad blockers can independently block optional services.
Turning off a service that has already loaded reloads the page to stop its code. Turning off analytics also removes accessible first-party Google Analytics cookies. This does not undo
requests already sent or delete historical records held by Google. It cannot remove third-party cookies belonging to other sites. If preferences cannot be saved, the panel explains the limited
persistence.
Embedded videos
YouTube presentations load when opened if videos are enabled by your choice or regional default. Otherwise, they wait for permission, either for that video or as a saved preference. The
player uses YouTube's privacy-enhanced embed mode. Loading it connects your browser to Google and YouTube, which receive technical information such as your IP address and information about the
video request. Privacy-enhanced mode does not make viewing anonymous. Google's privacy policy applies to its processing of this information.
Website hosting
This website is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub logs visitors' IP addresses for security purposes. See the GitHub Privacy Statement for details.
Email
If you email me, I receive your email address and whatever information you include in your message. I use that information to respond and manage our correspondence. Please avoid sending
sensitive information you do not need to share.
Saved preferences
If you apply a wallpaper, this site saves your selection in your browser's local storage so it can use your choice across the site and on future visits. Error screens keep their own
background. The saved preference stays in your browser. When enabled, Analytics may also record which wallpaper you preview or select, along with interactions such as opening, minimizing, or
closing windows, restarting or shutting down the desktop, and opening a video. You can remove it by clearing this site's stored data in your browser settings.
Accessibility settings are also saved in your browser's local storage. Your selected accessibility settings are not sent to Google Analytics. Use Restore defaults in the Accessibility
panel, then Apply, to reset them, or clear this site's stored data in your browser settings.
Your choices
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings and use browser privacy controls to limit tracking. Google also provides a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on for supported desktop browsers. That add-on does not stop all data collection by other services, including YouTube or the hosting provider.
Optional services remain off when JavaScript is disabled. Hosting connections are still necessary to serve the website. Clearing site data also clears your privacy choices, so regional
defaults will be checked again on a later visit.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information. To ask a privacy question or make a request about information I hold, email privacy@allencoin.com .
Business card exchange
I use your submitted name, email and optional details to review card requests and save contacts. They are stored in a private Neon database and may be emailed to me through Resend; Vercel
runs the card service. There is no mailing list. Public card requests use Cloudflare Turnstile to check for spam before submission. This check does not send your form contents or private card
link to Cloudflare.
When automatic follow-ups are enabled, sharing your details through a valid live QR code or conference pass sends you the contact details that pass shared with you. Resend processes the
email, and I receive a CC copy at hello@allencoin.com. Requests made without a pass still wait for my approval before I email my card.
Card emails include a permanent contact-card attachment that works offline. Expiring or revoking a web link cannot recall details already emailed or downloaded. The card service does not
store message bodies or attachments; this does not remove copies held by Resend or in recipient inboxes, including mine. Resend's Privacy
Policy describes its processing.
I keep pending and approved requests and saved contacts until I delete them. Declined requests are removed after 30 days. Private card links expire, and a link can be forwarded by anyone
who has it. The contact page keeps its access token in this tab's session storage. Private card views and sample previews do not load analytics. Public card requests may measure form starts
and submissions, but not what you type, subject to your privacy settings. A measured submission does not confirm the request was saved. Contact details you download remain in your address
book.
Routine cleanup removes live and conference passes and their frozen contact fields 30 days after expiry, and delivery logs after 90 days. Follow-up status records stay with the saved
contact until it is deleted. Sending limits use temporary service counters, separate from Google Analytics; they do not count address-book imports.
Email privacy@allencoin.com to ask me to delete your submitted details or stop future card emails. You can also reply to a card email to ask me
to stop. I keep a blocked address until I remove the block, so that the service can honor that request.
Changes
I may update this policy as the website changes. The date above identifies the latest revision.
