Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Hi! I’m Ben, and I run benabode.se. This policy explains how I handle your data. Because this is a small personal site, I keep data collection to the bare minimum needed to see if people are actually visiting.

2. Information I Collect

I use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) via Google Tag Manager to understand how visitors interact with my site. This includes:

  • Technical Data: Your IP address (anonymized), browser type, and device information.
  • Usage Data: Which pages you visit, how long you stay, and what links you click.
  • Cookies: Small files stored on your device that help me recognize you as a returning visitor (only if you click “Accept”).

3. How I Use Your Data

I use this information strictly to:

  • Monitor site traffic and performance.
  • Improve the content and design of my project showcases.
  • I do not sell your data or use it for targeted advertising.

4. Third-Party Services

Data is processed by Google Ireland Limited. I have configured Google Analytics to:

  • Anonymize your IP address.
  • Disable data sharing with Google for their own products/benchmarking.
  • Automatically delete user-level data after 14 months.

5. Your Rights (GDPR)

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access, correct, or delete any data I have about you.
  • Withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie banner.
  • Object to processing if you feel it’s unnecessary.
