What this site does not do
daily-dose has no user accounts, no sign-up, no comments, and no forms. It sets no cookies of its own — the light/dark theme toggle is stored only in your browser's localStorage, never sent to any server, and is not personal data.
What is collected, and why
This site uses Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to understand whether anyone actually reads this hobby project and whether pages load acceptably fast. Neither tool uses cookies or writes anything to your browser — visitors aren't individually identified or tracked across visits.
Per page view, Vercel Web Analytics records: the page URL, referrer, a coarse geolocation (country/region/city, derived from IP address — the IP address itself is not retained), device type, and browser/OS. Vercel Speed Insights separately records real-world page-load performance (Core Web Vitals) tied to a route and country, not to any individual visitor.
The lawful basis for this is a legitimate interest (UK GDPR/GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)): understanding traffic to a hobby project. This is genuinely the only purpose — there is no advertising, no resale of data, and no profiling of individual visitors.
Who processes it
Vercel Inc., the host of this site, is the only third party involved. See Vercel's Web Analytics privacy documentation and Speed Insights privacy documentation for their own, more detailed disclosures. Nothing collected here is sold, shared with advertisers, or used for anything beyond the purpose above.
How long it's kept
Vercel guarantees Web Analytics and Speed Insights data for at least one month on this project's plan — Vercel's own retention may extend longer than that minimum. This site does not separately store, export, or retain any of this data itself.
Your rights
Because no cookie or identifier persists across visits, there is no per-visitor record this site (or Vercel, on its behalf) can look up, correct, or delete on request — the data collected is never linked back to a specific person. If you believe that's inaccurate, you have the right to complain to your local data protection authority — in the UK, that's the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
