I am a strong believer in both the concepts of the "Open Web" and valuing my own personal privacy. I have been writing content and developing on the internet since 1996. The following is a statement about content, private and personal data on tabi.nokoto.org as well as any nokoto.org domain refered to as "this web site".
Content on nokoto.org
nokoto.org and tabi.nokoto.org are intended as a personal, non-commercial web site including content such as images, text and geographic data about destinations and places that I find interesting and relevant. I want to provide functionality to let visitors contribute content such as commentary or even user-related content. All content is publicly-available on the web to both human and non-human actors (e.g. Google search, archive.org).
Google Analytics
Google Analytics provides a useful tool for web site owners to aggregate demographic, page and link tracking for visitors. I use Google Analytics in the following ways:
- as a means to understand from where and how a visitor accesses the content on this site such as browser, operating system, approximate geolocation, links to content
- so that I can satisfy my curiosity in a "Oh, cool" sense
- and as research so that I can improve the functionality of web sites that I work on including this web site such as by fixing bugs, changing layout, and adding/removing functionality.
- but I do not share this data with any third-party company for any commercial or non-commercial purpose.
