Privacy policy.

This Policy describes how personal data of gmasich.ru visitors is processed in accordance with Federal Law No. 152-FZ of 27.07.2006 «On Personal Data» (Russian Federation). The data operator is:

• Operator: Grigoriy Vasilyevich Masich
• Email: grigoriy@gmasich.ru
• Location: Krasnodar, Russia

The site has no contact form or other input fields — the operator does not request personal data and does not collect it through its own forms. Only the following is processed:

• interface cookies (theme preference and locale) — stored in your browser;
• pseudonymous Yandex.Metrika web-analytics data — its composition, legal basis and opt-out options are described in Section 7;
• the contents of your inquiry, if you contacted the operator yourself at the published email address or on Telegram — the sender address and the message body.

Blog comments are published by a third-party service and load only upon your explicit action — see Section 8.

Personal data is processed solely for the following purposes:

• collecting pseudonymous traffic statistics and improving the site content;
• responding to your inquiry, if you sent it to the operator by email or messenger;
• compliance with applicable law of the Russian Federation.

Processing of pseudonymous web-analytics data is based on Article 6, Part 1, Item 7 of 152-FZ — the legitimate interest of the operator in analyzing and improving the site. Processing of your inquiry sent by email or messenger is initiated by you and is limited to what is needed to reply. No separate consent document is required: the site does not collect personal data through its own forms.

Correspondence you initiate by email or messenger is stored in the operator's mailbox on servers located in the Russian Federation (Krasnodar Krai) and is deleted at your request. Its contents are not shared with third parties except as expressly required by law. Transfer of pseudonymous web-analytics data to the Yandex.Metrika processor is described in Section 7. Cross-border transfer of personal data occurs only upon explicit user action via the comments service — see the «Third-Party Services» section for details.

Under 152-FZ you have the right to:

• obtain information about whether and how your data is processed;
• request clarification, correction, or amendment of the data;
• request deletion if data is processed in violation of law;
• object to processing carried out under the operator's legitimate interest and demand that it cease;
• file a complaint with Roskomnadzor or in court.

The site uses cookies for interface functionality (theme preference, locale) and Yandex.Metrika (counter 109141098) for traffic analytics and site improvement.

Yandex.Metrika automatically collects the following pseudonymous data about visitor activity:

• cookies (for session identification and to avoid double-counting);
• IP address and approximate geolocation derived from it;
• device and browser characteristics (User-Agent, screen resolution, language);
• pages viewed, link clicks, time on site, clickmap data;
• pseudonymous session recording (Webvisor) — mouse movements, scrolling and page navigation;
• URL of the referring page (referrer).

Legal basis — Article 6 Part 1 Item 7 of 152-FZ (legitimate interest of the operator in analyzing and improving the site). User consent for cookies and pseudonymous statistics is not required, provided this is disclosed in this Policy and a means to opt out is offered.

Data is processed by LLC «YANDEX» (TIN 7736207543, 16 Lva Tolstogo St., Moscow, 119021, Russia). Data is stored on YANDEX servers within the Russian Federation. See Yandex Privacy Policy for details: https://yandex.ru/legal/confidential/eng

If you do not want Yandex.Metrika to collect data about your visits, you can:

• disable cookies or enable «Do Not Track» in your browser settings;
• use tracker-blocking extensions (uBlock Origin, AdBlock and similar);
• install the official Yandex opt-out extension — https://yandex.ru/support/metrica/general/opt-out.html.

The blog uses Giscus (giscus.app), which integrates with GitHub Discussions. GitHub is owned by GitHub Inc. (USA). Comments load ONLY after your explicit click on the «Load discussion» button. Before the click, no data is transmitted to Giscus or GitHub. After the click, and when you sign in to GitHub to comment, your data (username, avatar, comment text) is processed by GitHub Inc. under their own privacy policy (https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-privacy-statement). This constitutes a cross-border transfer of personal data to the USA, to which you consent by your conscious click.

The operator may update this Policy. The current version is always available at gmasich.ru/privacy. The effective date is shown in the document header.
