Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Yurie Blog ("we", "our", or "us"). This is a personal blog operated by the content creator known as Yurie Jiyūbō (a pseudonym).

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the information we collect from you when you visit our website (https://yurieblog.vercel.app).

Note for Visitors: This is a personal hobby site. We do not sell physical products, and we minimize data collection to what is necessary for site functionality, analytics, and security.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Voluntary Information: Information you explicitly provide (e.g., if you contact us via email or sign up for a newsletter), such as your name or email address.
• Automatic Data (Log Files): Like most websites, we automatically collect certain data when you visit, including IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, and operating system. This is used for security and site optimization.
• Cookies: We use cookies to store visitor preferences and record session information. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use the collected information solely for:

• Operating and maintaining the blog.
• Improving user experience and analyzing site traffic (via Google Analytics).
• Sending you updates (only if you have opted in).
• Protecting against unauthorized or illegal activity.

4. Advertising & Third-Party Services

While this is a personal blog, we may use third-party services to support our infrastructure and potential future monetization.

Google AdSense & DoubleClick Cookie

We may use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (specifically the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your visit to this site and other sites on the Internet.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors engage with the site. Google Analytics collects information anonymously. It reports website trends without identifying individual visitors.

5. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding your data:

For EEA/UK Users (GDPR)

Since we do not maintain a physical business office for this blog, we operate on a minimization principle. You have the right to access, rectify, or erase any personal data we might hold (e.g., if you emailed us).

For California Users (CCPA)

We do not sell your personal information. However, allowing third-party ad networks (like Google) to collect data via cookies may be considered a "sale" under California law. You have the right to opt-out of this by adjusting your browser's cookie settings or using Google's tools mentioned above.

6. Contact Us

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us via email. As this is a personal project operated under a pseudonym, email is our primary and official channel of communication.
