Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 9, 2026.
packetloss.tech is the personal technical blog and consulting site of Carlos Flores. This page explains, in plain language, what data the site collects and what you can do about it. Questions: cflores@packetloss.tech.
What I collect
Newsletter. If you subscribe, I store the email address you enter, your language (EN/ES), and where you signed up from. At signup I also record the request’s IP address and browser user-agent — only to catch abuse (spam sign-ups) and confirm the subscription. That’s it: no name, no phone, no tracking profile.
Contact form. If you send a brief through the consulting contact form, I collect the name, email address, engagement type, and message you submit — used only to read and reply to your inquiry. Submissions are delivered to my inbox through web3forms (see below).
Analytics. I measure aggregate traffic two ways:
- Cloudflare Web Analytics — privacy-first, no cookies, no cross-site tracking. Always on.
- Google Analytics 4 — uses cookies, and only loads if you press “Accept” on the cookie banner. IP addresses are anonymized. If you decline (or ignore the banner), GA4 never loads and sets no cookies.
I do not sell, rent, or share your data for advertising.
Cookies and your choice
The only cookies this site can set are Google Analytics’, and only after you click Accept. A small banner asks once; your choice is remembered in your browser (localStorage). To change it, clear this site’s data in your browser and the banner returns. Declining costs you nothing — every page works identically.
Who processes your data
To run the newsletter, contact form, and the site I rely on four providers, each acting only on my behalf:
- Resend — delivers the newsletter emails.
- web3forms — delivers the consulting contact-form submissions to my email inbox.
- Cloudflare — hosts the site and provides the cookieless analytics.
- Google — provides Google Analytics 4 (only if you accept cookies).
How long I keep it
Subscriber data is kept until you unsubscribe. Every newsletter has a one-click unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing removes you from future sends.
Your choices and rights
- Unsubscribe anytime via the link in any newsletter.
- Decline cookies via the banner (or simply never accept it).
- Access or delete the data tied to your email — email cflores@packetloss.tech and I’ll handle it.
Changes
If this policy changes, the “last updated” date above changes with it. Material changes will be noted in the newsletter.
