Privacy

What's collected, and what isn't.

Cookieless analytics, no accounts, no third-party trackers. The short version of a usually long page.

This site is built to read like a notebook. It collects as little about you as it can. There are no cookies, no accounts, and no third-party trackers running while you read — with one cookieless exception, an anonymous pageview counter, described at the end.

Cookies

None. This site sets no cookies, first-party or third-party. The usual banner would have nothing to ask permission for.

Local storage

One key: your chosen colour theme (dark or light). It lives in your browser, never reaches the server, and exists only so the page does not flicker back to default on a return visit. You can clear it from your browser's settings at any time without losing anything else.

Fonts and assets

Typefaces (Playfair Display, Geist) are self-hosted at build time — fetched once when the site is built, then served from this domain. Images are served from this domain. No request from your browser is silently forwarded to Google, Adobe, or any other third party while you are reading.

Email

If you write to hello@masaimara.art, the message lives in a regular inbox and is read by one person. Subscribing to the seasonal letter requires you to send that email — you are not added to any list without explicitly asking. Unsubscribe is a reply that says so.

Analytics — the one third-party thing

Page views are counted using Umami, a cookieless analytics service. No cookies are set, no local storage is touched, and no persistent identifier is created for your browser. Umami counts unique visitors using a daily-rotating server-side hash of your IP address and user-agent string, which is discarded each day. The IP address itself is not stored.

Analytics data is hosted in the United States, on Umami Cloud. What is recorded for each page view: the URL, the page title, the referring URL, the country derived from your IP, and a coarse device, browser, and operating system classification. That is the entire record.

Your rights

If you are in the EU, the UK, or California, you have the right to ask what is held about you, to request its deletion, or to object to its processing. Because no persistent identifier ties you to any record on this site, there is in practice very little held. To ask anyway, write to hello@masaimara.art.

Changes

If this page changes in any material way, the date below changes. The previous version remains available on request.
