Privacy Policy
Hosting
This site is hosted on Netlify (frontend) and a dedicated server operated by us (backend, database). Server access logs may include your IP address for security and debugging purposes.
Account data
If you create an account, we store your name, email address, and the links you create. This data is only used to provide the service and is never sold or shared with third parties.
Language preference
We set a cookie (mkasl_locale) to remember your preferred language once it is known, either because you picked it from the language switcher or because it was detected automatically. This cookie is required for the site to function correctly and does not need consent.
IP-based language detection (optional)
If your browser doesn't tell us a preferred language, we can optionally look up your approximate location from your IP address via ip-api.com, a third-party service, to guess your language. This is off by default. We only do this if you explicitly allow it via the banner shown on the site; your choice is remembered in a cookie (mkasl_geo_consent). You can decline at any time, and English will be used instead.
Analytics
We use a self-hosted instance of Matomo to understand how the site is used, with cookies disabled. No data is shared with third parties.
