Privacy Policy & House Rules
We believe the web should be fun AND safe. Here's how we handle privacy on our little corner of the internet.
What We Collect: Almost Nothing!
This website is built with HTML, CSS, and a sprinkle of JavaScript (for that authentic 90s experience!). We use:
- No cookies - Not even the tasty kind (sadly)
- Minimal JavaScript - Just for fun effects and our visitor counter
- A visitor counter - We use freevisitorcounters.com to count visits (it's retro!)
- No personal tracking - We don't know who you are, just that you visited
Our Privacy Choices
Why Nicknames?
You'll notice we use fun nicknames instead of real names throughout this site. That's intentional! We love sharing our life online, but we also value our privacy. Using nicknames lets us:
- Share our personality without revealing identity
- Protect our child's privacy
- Have fun with creative personas!
Why "Switzerland"?
We mention we're in Switzerland because we're proud of where we live, but we never get more specific than that. No city names, no neighborhood details, no "look at this local landmark" photos that could pinpoint our location.
Why No Face Photos?
Our photo galleries focus on projects, food, and scenery - not portraits. This is a conscious choice to share our experiences while maintaining privacy. The internet is forever, after all!
Guestbook & Contact
How the Guestbook Works
Since this is a static site, we don't have an automatic form. If you want to leave a message and you know us personally, reach out through your usual channels. We'll manually add appropriate messages to the guestbook page.
What we'll post: Your name/nickname, general location (optional), and your message.
What we won't post: Personal information, contact details, links to commercial sites, or anything that doesn't follow our house rules.
House Rules
Be Cool, Internet Friends!
This is our digital home. Please:
- Be kind and respectful
- Don't ask for personal information
- Remember a child might be reading
- Have fun and enjoy the retro vibes!
External Links
When You Leave Our Site
Our Links page contains links to other websites. When you click those links, you leave our site and we can't control what happens there. External sites have their own privacy policies (or lack thereof).
All external links open in new tabs and include rel="noopener" for security.
Downloads & Content
Using Our Stuff
Everything we share in the Downloads section is free for personal use. We retain the rights to our creations, but we're happy for you to enjoy them! Just don't sell our stuff or claim you made it.
Policy Updates
If we ever change this policy (unlikely - it's pretty simple!), we'll note it on our Updates page.
