I, Trafotin, am a video content creator. When I refer to Trafotin, I refer to both myself and my brand collectively. I receive no personal assistance in creating my website, though I might beg for it.

Data Collected

I use Cloudflare as my DNS nameservers. As a result, they collect your IP address and log it in the name of security. While I have disabled in-line analytics, I cannot disable logging on my end and even if I could, it’s not a guarantee because of how the internet is run. If you are concerned about this, consider using a VPN or the Tor Browser.

  • The social “sharing” buttons do not track you; they are SVG images with a link for you to utilize such platforms.

Embedded Content

Peertube

All of my videos are uploaded through Spectra.Video, an instance of the federated software Peertube. Spectra.Video is run Sean Tilley and hosted in the United States on Akamai Cloud/Linode. When you watch a video on Peertube, you must necessarily connect to peers on the network and your IP address will be exposed to those peers in addition to Spectra.Video.

Other Embedded Content

Any time you view an embedded video, the video is loaded through other platforms, including but not limited to YouTube and Mastodon. Data used here are subject to that site’s and their third parties’ respective privacy policies.

Changes

This policy may change at any time and it is on the onus of the user to check for changes.

Privacy Law

Since no data is collected about this site’s users, this website complies with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA).

Disclosure

I have never willingly provided data from any visitor of this website to any entity. I will respond accordingly.

If you don’t provide me any information, I have no information to give.

On open-source, web preservation, and copyright

I am a firm believer in open-source software, but I have had a hellish experience trying to cobble this website together. I have had git erase my data multiple times. Even if this website is open-source, that means every single typo and mistake I make is then logged and archived in a big manifest forever.

As a result, my website is closed source. However, let me make a promise to you. I do not include any trackers on my website. If able, I will remove any offending embeds and as this is a static site, you can just read the JavaScript and source code plainly.

I don’t publish my source code because the only other methods to do so require I provide easy access to allow people to do such things. Most people won’t, but they will be abused.

I retain exclusive copyright over everything written. Any replication of my work beyond bounds of Fair Use (or the equivalent in your country such as fair dealing) as defined by US law is grounds for a swift removal letter for me.

I do not consent to my writing to be used or analyzed by AI summarizers, large language models, automated scraping, or similar methods to browse my website. I block all attempts from AI scaping bots, such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Google Gemini.
