Who watches the watcher?

Welcome to our watchtower. If you're here, you probably like to know what goes on behind the scenes. That's why we're transparent about how we handle your data. Don't worry: we're not building a panopticon to control your mind, just to keep the blog running.

1. What data do we collect?

For you to interact with the blog, we collect the minimum necessary:

  • Comments: When you leave a comment, we collect data from the form, your IP address, and browser agent to prevent spam.
  • Newsletter/Contact: If you sign up to receive updates, we store your name and email.
  • Cookies and Advertising: We use cookies to improve your experience and display ads that make sense for you.

2. Google AdSense and the DoubleClick Cookie

To keep the servers running and the author's coffee flowing, we display Google AdSense ads. It's important you know:

Google, as a third-party provider, uses cookies to display ads on this site.

With the DoubleClick cookie, Google and its partners can display ads based on your visits to this or other sites on the internet.

You're in control: You can disable personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.

3. What do we use this data for?

Basically to:

  • Keep the blog alive and functional.
  • Analyze traffic (who's climbing the tower today?).
  • Personalize the ads you see (so you don't get ads for things you hate).

4. Who else sees your data?

We don't sell your data to evil corporations or secret societies. However, we use third-party services that may process information to function, such as Google (Analytics and AdSense) and our hosting service.

5. Your Rights (Control is yours)

You own your information. According to Brazil's LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados), you can ask us at any time to access, correct, or delete your data. The "watcher" here respects your freedom.

6. Security

We do our best to keep everything secure within our digital tower using encrypted connections (HTTPS), but remember: on the internet, surveillance and risks are constant.
