Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 21, 2026

Introduction

At SelfHostYourself, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains our approach to data collection and protection. We are committed to GDPR compliance and privacy-first principles.

Privacy-First Approach

  • No account needed, no personal information requested
  • Analytics used only to measure aggregate traffic
  • No advertising, remarketing or profiling
  • We never sell your data

Information We Collect

We collect minimal, anonymous data to improve our service:

  • Analytics: Page views and usage patterns, reported to us only in aggregate. Google Analytics stores a cookie on your device to tell repeat visits from new ones
  • Technical Data: Browser type and basic technical information for optimization
  • Local Preferences: Theme and settings stored locally on your device

What We Don't Collect

We explicitly do not collect:

  • Personally identifiable information (name, email, phone)
  • Payment or financial information
  • Precise location data or device identifiers
  • Cross-site tracking data

How We Use Data

The minimal data we collect is used solely to maintain and improve our service, understand usage patterns, and ensure technical stability. We never sell or share data with third parties for marketing purposes.

GDPR Compliance

We follow GDPR principles including data minimization and purpose limitation: we ask for no personal data to browse the site, and the analytics we do collect are used only to understand which pages are useful. We do not build advertising profiles and we do not enable Google's advertising or remarketing features.

Third-Party Services

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to measure traffic. It sets a cookie on your device and processes your visit on Google's infrastructure, acting as our data processor. Alongside it we run Umami, a self-hosted, cookie-free analytics tool.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, request deletion, or opt out of analytics at any time. You can opt out of Google Analytics on every site with Google's browser opt-out add-on, or by blocking cookies for this site. Contact us for any privacy-related questions or concerns.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
