Privacy notice

Who is responsible

This site is published by Edward Kibe, LL.M Candidate, University of Nairobi | LL.B, atUniversity of Nairobi. It exists for academic and educational purposes as part of my legal scholarship. For any question about this notice or your personal data, write toItseddiekibe@gmail.com.

What is collected

Deliberately very little.

• No accounts, no newsletter, no forms. There is nothing on this site that asks you to submit personal information, so none is collected that way.
• Server and network logs. The site is served by Cloudflare, which processes technical data such as IP address, approximate location, browser type, and requested page in order to deliver pages and protect against attack. This happens for every website and is necessary for the site to function at all.
• Analytics, only with your consent. If you accept cookies, Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity record which pages are read, roughly where visitors come from, and how far down articles people scroll. If you decline, or ignore the banner, neither service is loaded and neither sets a cookie.

Cookies

No analytics script is fetched and no analytics cookie is set until you press Accept. This is stricter than the common approach of loading the tracker straight away and merely withholding some signals from it.

One item is stored in your browser regardless: a smalllocalStorage entry recording your theme preference, and a second recording your cookie choice so you are not asked again. Neither is a tracking cookie, neither is sent to any server, and both stay on your device.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, that is treated as a decision to decline. You will not see the banner and nothing will load.

Change your mind

You can change your choice at any time.

Declining stops any further collection. To remove data already gathered, contact me at Itseddiekibe@gmail.com.

Sharing

Personal information is never sold, rented, or traded. There is no advertising on this site and no cross-site tracking. The only third parties that process any data are the infrastructure providers needed to run it: Cloudflare for hosting and network security, Sanity for content storage, and Google and Microsoft for analytics if you accept.

How long data is kept

Cloudflare's network logs are short-lived and governed by its own retention policy. Analytics data is retained for 14 months, the shortest period Google Analytics 4 allows, after which it is deleted automatically.

Your rights

Under Kenya's Data Protection Act, 2019, and under the UK and EU GDPR where they apply to you, you have the right to ask what personal data is held about you, to have it corrected or erased, to object to or restrict its processing, and to receive a copy in a portable format. Exercising any of these costs nothing. Write toItseddiekibe@gmail.com and I will respond within thirty days.

If you believe your data has been mishandled, you may complain to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner in Kenya, or to your local supervisory authority.

Security

All traffic is served over HTTPS. The site is statically generated, which means there is no database, no login, and no server-side code to attack. Content is managed through a separate authenticated system that visitors never touch.

Changes

Any change to this notice will be reflected in the date above. Material changes will reset the cookie banner so your consent is asked for again rather than assumed.

This notice explains how this website handles data. It is not legal advice. See theterms of use.
