Privacy

01 — The short version

Privacy at mikbry.com is intentionally simple.

This site does not track you personally. It counts page views and button clicks as anonymous hourly buckets — the same counter someone would keep with a piece of paper. There are no cookies from mikbry.com, no tracking pixels, no analytics from Google, Meta, or anyone else, and no account required to browse. If you decide to send us your idea (Idea Scan) or your code (Trust Report), that's an explicit action you take — not something we watch happen.

02 — Hosting and logs

The site is served as static files from a Scaleway VPS in France, fronted by Caddy (a Go-based web server). Like any web host, Caddy records standard request logs — IP address, timestamp, requested URL, and user agent — for delivery, security, and abuse prevention. Those logs are kept for 7 days, reviewed only if there's an incident to investigate, then discarded. We do not aggregate them into a profile of you.

03 — What we count, exactly

When a page loads, your browser sends a small message to our server that says "someone loaded /about at 3 PM Paris time." When you click one of our buttons, your browser sends "someone clicked the Trust Report button at 3 PM Paris time." That's it. We do not store your IP address, your browser type, your screen size, your language preference, or any identifier that would let us tell your visit apart from the next person's. All we ever see is aggregate hourly counts. This is enough for us to know if a page is useful; it is not enough to know if you visited.

04 — Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

This site sets no tracking cookies and runs no third-party trackers to disable in the first place, so a Do Not Track (DNT) or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from your browser changes nothing observable here — there's nothing behind the scenes that DNT/GPC would otherwise turn off. We treat that as honoring the signal by construction rather than by a script that reads a header: if we ever add a feature that would look at DNT or GPC, it will refuse to track regardless of what the signal says, not the other way around. A machine-readable summary of this posture lives at /.well-known/privacy.json.

05 — AI and editorial disclosure

Content on this site is human-written. Mik uses AI tools — Claude Code and Cursor — in the code and editorial workflow as an acceleration lever under human review, never as an unsupervised author. Build-series notes appear on the /about page.

06 — The Trust Report service

If you choose to run a Trust Report on your code, the analysis happens inside your browser. The Scan has no access to anything: not your repository (no GitHub or GitLab connection, no clone, no upload), not your live application (no URL scan, no runtime probe), and not your database (no credentials, no queries). Your code never leaves your computer; no server sees a line of it.

When you decide to receive your PDF report, your browser uploads only the analysis result (scores, categories, evidence text — no code, no file paths) to our delivery service at service.mikbry.com. You can choose to anonymize this result before it leaves your browser — removing your project name and any residual identifier — using a one-click checkbox at the consent step. The delivery service renders your PDF, emails it to you, and auto-deletes both the uploaded result and the generated PDF within 30 days of delivery. Nothing about your code, your app, or your business is stored on our servers by default.

URL-based scanners can observe live headers and responses that a static in-browser analysis cannot see.

07 — Your rights

Under GDPR Articles 15–22, you have the right to access the data we hold about you, rectify it if it's wrong, erase it, restrict how we process it, receive a portable copy of it, and object to processing you disagree with. For most visitors this is a short conversation, not a long one: anonymous hourly traffic counters carry no identifier to look you up by, so there is nothing to export or delete on that side. If you have an account, or you've submitted an Idea Report or Trust Report, email hello@mikbry.com and we'll act on your request directly — no ticket system, no third-party processor to route through.

08 — When you have an account

Once you sign up for an Idea Scan, subscribe to a plan, or otherwise create an account, we track your journey through the product — which pages you visit, which reports you've run, what your subscription status is. That's how we improve the product, and you agreed to it at signup. You can request deletion of your account and its data at any time by emailing hello@mikbry.com.
