The paperwork
Privacy Policy
What this site knows about you, where it lives, and how to make it forget.
Last updated 7 September 2026The plain version
- Browse and the visit is counted with Google Analytics: which page, roughly which country, what sort of device. It is a headcount, not a name.
- Write in the guestbook without an account and it keeps the name you typed, how you said you know Varakorn, and your words. That is all it has, because that is all you gave it.
- Sign in with Google and it keeps your name, email and profile photo, so your comments have a face.
- Nothing is sold or shared for advertising. There are no advertising cookies and no social media trackers here.
- Email varakornm0403@gmail.com and anything stored about you is deleted.
Who runs this site
This is the personal portfolio of Varakorn (legal name Varakorn Meunukdomn), based in Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. For anything in this policy, write to varakornm0403@gmail.com.
What is collected, and when
| When you | The site keeps | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Just browse | Nothing personal. Your theme choice (day or night) stays in your own browser and is never sent anywhere. | So the lamp stays the way you left it. |
| Open any page | Google Analytics counts the visit: which page, roughly where in the world you are, the kind of device and browser, the site you arrived from, and whether you scrolled or clicked a link that leaves. It is a random browser number, not a person. No name, no email, nothing you typed, and your real network address is not stored. | So Varakorn can see which chapters and notes people actually read, and write more of what lands. |
| Talk to the desk terminal | Nothing. Your messages are sent to Google Gemini to generate the reply, then forgotten. Treat it like a postcard and do not type anything private. | The chatbot needs a brain, and the brain is Google Gemini. |
| Sign in with Google | Your name, email address, profile photo, and the account identifier Google provides. | So your comments and likes belong to you and show your name. |
| Fill in your profile | Whatever you choose to add: a title, a short bio, links to your socials. These are public and show on your profile card in the guestbook. | So your comments and vouches can say who you are. |
| Comment or vouch without an account | The name you typed, how you said you know Varakorn, your words, the page, the time, and a scrambled version of your network address. No email, no account, and the real address is not stored. | So nothing on the site is anonymous, and so one person cannot flood it. |
| Comment or like while signed in | The comment text, the page it was left on, the time, and a scrambled version of your network address. The real address is not stored. | To show the guestbook, and to stop one person flooding it. |
As account features grow (saved posts, reading progress and similar), the site stores what you deliberately save, tied to your account, and this page is updated to say so.
Where it lives
Account and guestbook data is stored with Supabase in Singapore. Visit counts live with Google, under the Google Analytics account for this site. The site itself is hosted by Vercel, which keeps ordinary server logs the way nearly every host does.
The services this site relies on
- Google sign in confirms who you are. Google's own privacy policy covers what Google does.
- Google Analytics counts visits, so Varakorn can see which pages get read. It runs on every page of this site.
- Google Gemini generates the desk terminal's replies from what you type.
- Supabase stores accounts and comments, in Singapore.
- Vercel serves the site.
That is the whole list. No advertising pixels, no social media trackers, and nothing that follows you to other sites.
Cookies
Two kinds, and neither one sells you anything.
- Counting. Google Analytics sets
_gaand_ga_FGY4YXBKBQon every visit. They hold a random number that tells one browser from another, so a second look at the same page is not counted as a second person. They last two years and carry no name, no email and nothing you typed. - Signing in. One more, and only after you sign in: it keeps you signed in. Signing out removes it.
There are no advertising cookies. Clearing your browser's site data removes all of them, a browser set to refuse cookies is welcome and the site works the same, and Google's own opt out add on switches Analytics off on every site at once.
Your rights
Under Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act, and as plain courtesy, you can ask at any time to see what is stored about you, correct it, or have it deleted. Email varakornm0403@gmail.com from the address on your account and it is handled, usually within a few days. You can also delete your own comments from your account page once signed in.
If you wrote without an account there is no account to email from, and nothing here can prove which words were yours. Write to varakornm0403@gmail.com saying which comment or vouch you left and roughly when, and it is removed.
How long things are kept
Comments stay until you delete them or ask for them to be removed, whether or not there was an account behind them. Accounts stay until you ask for deletion. Deleting an account removes its comments and likes with it.
Visit counts are held by Google for 14 months and then survive only as totals, with nothing left that could point at one browser. The counting cookies in your own browser expire two years after your last visit, or the moment you clear your site data.
Children
This site is not aimed at children, and accounts are meant for people old enough to hold a Google account under Google's own rules.
When this policy changes
The date at the top moves, and meaningful changes get a plain note here. No silent edits.
