This privacy policy explains what data Kennyvn (https://kennyvn.com) collects when you visit, how it's used, and the choices you have. The short version: this is a content site with no user accounts, no newsletter, and no comment system — so there's very little data to collect in the first place. The one exception is advertising: ads are served by Google AdSense, which uses cookies (details below).
Information I Don't Collect
This site does not:
- Require you to create an account or log in
- Run a newsletter or collect email addresses for marketing
- Host a comment system
- Sell, rent, or trade any data about you
Information That Is Collected
Analytics (Clicky)
I use Clicky to understand which articles are useful and how visitors find the site. Clicky collects aggregate, non-personal usage data such as pages viewed, referring site, approximate location (derived from IP address), and browser/device type. It may set a cookie to distinguish returning visitors. I use this only to improve the site's content — never to identify you personally. See Clicky's privacy policy for details.
Server logs
Like most websites, the hosting server (SiteGround) records standard request logs — IP address, timestamp, requested URL, and user-agent — for security and troubleshooting. These logs are retained by the host for a limited period and are not used to build profiles of visitors.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
This site shows ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. Google and its partners may place and read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons or your IP address, to collect information as a result of ad serving on this site. Other ad networks that Google certifies may also serve ads here and use cookies the same way.
You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google's Ads Settings, and opt out of many other vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. Google explains what it does with this data in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Affiliate links (Amazon)
Some links on this site are Amazon affiliate links. When you click one, Amazon may set a cookie that attributes a purchase to this site for up to 24 hours. I never see your personal information or individual activity — Amazon only reports total commissions earned. Full details are in the affiliate disclosure.
Contacting me
If you email me at contact@kennyvn.com, I'll have whatever information you choose to include in that message. I use it only to reply and don't add you to any list.
Cookies
The cookies this site is involved with are: (1) an optional analytics cookie from Clicky, (2) advertising cookies that Google and its partners use to serve and measure ads (see "Advertising" above), and (3) affiliate-attribution cookies set by Amazon if you click an affiliate link. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time — the site will still work normally.
Fonts & External Resources
Web fonts are self-hosted on this server, so loading a page does not send your data to any third-party font provider. External links to other websites are governed by those sites' own privacy policies, not this one.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the GDPR (EU/UK) or CCPA/CPRA (California) — including the right to access, correct, or delete personal data, and to opt out of its sale (note: this site does not sell data). Because this site collects so little personal information, most requests are straightforward. To make a request, email contact@kennyvn.com.
Children's Privacy
This site is intended for a general, adult audience interested in cybersecurity education. It is not directed at children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to This Policy
I may update this policy as the site changes. The "last updated" date below always reflects the current version.
