if you are reading this right now then you have made a series of decisions today that have led you to this exact moment which is you, reading this, a thing that is not worth reading, when you could be doing literally anything else with the time you have been given on this earth which is finite by the way and is actively running out as you continue to read this sentence which has not said anything yet and is not going to and you knew that, you knew that before you even started, and yet here we are, together, in this, because you made a choice and that choice was this, it was this, out of everything, it was this

Privacy Policy

Effective date 5/6/2026

RINA’S space (https://riri.my/) is a personal website and personal project. It is not operated as a commercial service, online store, or customer platform. Nothing on this website should be understood as creating a business relationship, customer account, an advice, or ongoing service obligation between me and visitors. This website is provided on an as-is and as-available basis to the extent permitted by applicable law. I care about privacy and keep data collection to a minimum. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use this website.

What I collect

I do not use analytics services, advertising trackers, profiling tools, or third-party tracking cookies on this website.

When you visit the website, the server may automatically create access logs. These logs may include technical data such as your IP address, date and time of access, requested URL, referrer, browser or user-agent information, response status, and similar server-level metadata.
If you submit a comment, I may process the name you enter and the content of your comment so the comment can be displayed and administered on the website.
If captcha verification fails during comment submission, I may create a temporary PHP session token so your comment text can be preserved and you do not have to retype it. This session is used only for that functional purpose and not for analytics, advertising, or profiling.
If you choose to contact me by sending an email directly to the address published on this website, I will receive whatever information you include in that email and any associated email metadata needed to receive and respond to it.

What I do not use

  • Analytics cookies.
  • Advertising cookies.
  • Third-party tracking cookies.
  • Behavioral profiling tools.
  • Newsletter signup forms.

Why I process data

I process limited data only where necessary to operate the website and its basic features.

This includes:

  • Serving pages and media.
  • Maintaining security and stability.
  • Detecting abuse, spam, and malicious activity.
  • Troubleshooting technical issues.
  • Displaying and managing comments.
  • Preserving comment text temporarily if captcha verification fails.
  • Reading and replying to emails sent directly to me.

Legal basis

Where applicable, I process personal data on the basis of my legitimate interests in operating, securing, maintaining, and improving the basic functionality of this personal website.

Cookies and session data

Like already stated, this website does not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party tracking cookies. A temporary essential session token may be used during comment submission to support captcha retry and comment recovery. This session mechanism is functional and short-lived, not a tracking system.

Retention

By default access logs are kept for up to 5 (five) days and are then automatically deleted. Logs may be purged manually earlier at my own discretion.
PLEASE BE AWARE:While the logs are short-lived on my specific server instances, my hosting provider, in this case - Oracle Cloud, or your ISP, may or may not have logs of their own, which may be held for longer; this is not in my control.
A log entry looks something akin to this on my end:
87.xxx.xxx.xxx - - - [1778014230.477 (05/May/2026:22:50:30 +0200)] "GET / HTTP/3.0" 200 3934 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/147.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/147.0.0.0" host="-" sni="riri.my" scheme=https request_time=0.000 cache=- ssl=TLSv1.3upstream_time=- upstream_addr=- upstream_status=- bytes_in=463 pipe=.conn=5 conn_requests=1
Temporary session data used for comment submission is kept only for as long as needed for that purpose, and that purpose alone, and usually stored client-side on your own device.
Comments are meant to be stored and displayed indefinitely, for the lifetime of this website. Comments may remain publicly visible until they are removed by me or until the relevant page or content is removed.
If you email me directly, I may retain the email for as long as reasonably necessary to handle the correspondence, keep records of the exchange, or protect against abuse.

Comments

"Comments" include both comments you leave underneath specific blog (on the page referred to as "diary") posts, or messages left on the "guestbook" page.
Comments are public and may display the name you provide together with the comment text. Please do not post sensitive, confidential, or unnecessary personal information in comments.
PLEASE BE AWARE: Because commenting does not require an account or email address, I may not be able to verify that a person requesting deletion, correction, or access is the original commenter. If you contact me about a comment, I will review the request and help where I can reasonably identify the comment and verify the request, but I may be unable to act where that is not possible.

Data storage

All user data, as well as the website content itself, are hosted on the servers in Italy, by Oracle Cloud, which is an United States company. Had this changed, this page will be updated accordingly.
PLEASE BE AWARE: I, the website owner, am not an European Union citizen. Your comment data may temporarily stay on my local devices, for unspecified amount of time. For purposes such as comment moderation, site-wide backup(s), and general operations.

Some juristictions such as Russia, PR China, Türkiye, and others may request for the data of their citizens to be stored on the servers within that country. At this time, I cannot fullfill this obligation.

Sharing

I do not sell personal data.
I do not share data collected through this website with third parties for marketing purposes.

I may disclose information if required to do so by law, to respond to a valid legal request, or where reasonably necessary to protect the website, myself, visitors, or others from abuse, fraud, or security threats.

Your rights

Depending on your location and the laws that apply, you may have rights relating to personal data that concerns you, such as rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection.

However, due to extreme data minimization, this may not reliably be possible. This means, that this website collects very limited information and does not require user accounts or verified identities for comments, I may not always be able to identify the relevant data or verify that a request relates to a particular person. Where I cannot reasonably verify a request or locate the relevant data, I may be unable to fulfill it.

Security

I take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect this website and the limited data processed through it.
Connections to this website are encrypted in transit where supported by the visitor’s browser, device, and network. Specific transport technologies or protocol versions may change over time as part of normal operation and maintenance, so they are not guaranteed as a permanent feature. HTTP/3, QUIC, and TLS 1.3 are transport/security technologies, but they are operational details disclosed for the sake of transparency.

Changes

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time by publishing the revised version on this page. It is user's/visitor's responsibility to occasionally revisit this page.
