Runtime Panic is a personal programming blog available at https://runtimepanic.com. This policy explains what data may be collected when you read the site, use comments, or see ads.

1. Information We Collect

Runtime Panic does not have user accounts, newsletter signup, or checkout flows. We do not directly ask for your name or personal details unless you choose to contact us by email.

Some information may be collected automatically by services used on the site:

  • Google Analytics may collect usage information such as pages viewed, browser and device details, approximate location, referrer, and interaction events.
  • Google AdSense may collect or use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, and other identifiers to serve ads, measure ad performance, prevent abuse, and personalize ads where permitted.
  • GitHub Discussions / Giscus powers comments on articles. If you comment, your GitHub username, comment text, and related GitHub account activity are handled by GitHub.
  • Local browser storage may be used to remember your light/dark theme preference.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use this information to:

  • understand which articles are useful and improve the site;
  • display and measure ads through Google AdSense;
  • prevent spam, abuse, and invalid ad activity;
  • remember basic site preferences, such as theme;
  • respond if you contact us directly.

Runtime Panic uses cookies and similar technologies for analytics, advertising, and site preferences.

Google and third-party vendors may place and read cookies on your browser or use web beacons, IP addresses, and other identifiers as a result of ad serving on this website. You can learn how Google uses data from partner sites here: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

5. Data Sharing

Runtime Panic does not sell personal information directly. Data may be processed by Google, GitHub, and their service providers when their services load on the site. Their use of data is governed by their own policies and your consent choices where applicable.

6. Data Security

This is a static website hosted on Vercel, but third-party services may process data when their scripts or embeds load. No website can guarantee perfect security, but we avoid collecting more information than this blog needs.

7. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, object to, or restrict certain processing of your personal data.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Where Google consent or privacy messages are shown, you can use those controls to manage advertising choices.
