Privacy Policy

This website follows a privacy-first approach and collects minimal data.
This Privacy Policy explains how your personal data is collected, used, and protected when you visit laukstein.com, operated by Binyamin Laukstein from Israel.

  1. What We Collect

    We collect very limited personal data. For the purposes of this policy, "personal data" refers specifically to the email address you voluntarily provide when:

    • subscribing to the newsletter (referred to on the website as "Occasional updates"); or
    • contacting me (for example, via compliance@laukstein.com).

    We do not collect:

    • Names, postal addresses, or phone numbers
    • Payment information
    • Login credentials or account details
    • Any data requiring user accounts or authentication

    We may passively collect anonymous or pseudonymous information (for example, IP address, browser type, device type, general usage data) through third-party tools used for analytics, diagnostics, and security, such as:

    • Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager
    • Cloudflare Analytics (for performance and security)
    • FullStory, Bugsnag, and Sentry (for diagnostics and error logging)

    This data is typically not directly identifiable, and as the site owner I cannot associate it with a specific individual.

  2. Why We Collect It

    Data is collected in order to:

    • Send newsletters (only if you explicitly subscribe)
    • Understand how the site is used and improve performance and content
    • Detect and fix technical issues or abuse

    I do not:

    • Sell your data
    • Use it for targeted advertising
    • Track you across other websites

  3. Newsletter & Consent

    If you subscribe to the newsletter (labeled on the website as "Occasional updates"):

    • Your email address is processed by Sender.net, an email service provider that states compliance with GDPR requirements.
    • You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any newsletter.
    • If you are under 13, you may subscribe only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

    You may always request that your email address be removed from the mailing list.

  4. Demo Projects

    Some pages include visual or interactive demo projects from past front-end work.

    These demos:

    • Are fully client-side (no server-side logic owned by this site)
    • Do not include their own forms, logins, or tracking scripts
    • Do not implement additional cookies beyond the general site-level analytics described in this policy
    • Use blurred or anonymized screenshots if they originally contained sensitive or internal information

    Screenshots and design mockups may display third-party trademarks, logos, app interfaces, or public-figure imagery solely as part of design and development work.
    These elements remain the property of their respective owners and are not used to identify or track individual visitors.

    These demos are shown purely to illustrate design and development work.

  5. Cookies & Analytics

    Cookies or similar technologies may be used by third-party services such as:

    • Cloudflare – for caching, performance, and security
    • Google Analytics – for anonymous or pseudonymous usage statistics
    • YouTube – when videos are embedded
    • FullStory – for selected diagnostic session replay

    These tools may set their own cookies or identifiers.
    Demo components themselves do not add any extra tracking or cookies beyond this general site behavior.

    Most analytics data is collected in an anonymized or pseudonymized form.

    You can manage cookies via your browser settings.

  6. Global Privacy Control (GPC)

    This site respects the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal.

    • If your browser sends a GPC signal (for example, Sec-GPC: 1), analytics and tracking scripts will not be loaded.
    • This reduces or prevents data from being collected by analytics tools for that visit.

    Because analytics data is collected in anonymized or pseudonymized form, I generally cannot locate, identify, or delete individual session records. If you have a specific privacy concern, you can still contact me and I will assist where reasonably possible.

  7. Children's Privacy

    This website is not intended for children under 13 years of age.

    • Children under 13 should not submit an email address without the consent of a parent or legal guardian.
    • If I become aware that a child has subscribed without appropriate consent, I will remove that subscription.

    Parents or guardians can request removal by contacting: compliance@laukstein.com

  8. Security

    I take strong precautions to protect your information using secure infrastructure and trusted service providers.

    • All site traffic is encrypted using HTTPS (TLS) to protect data in transit.
    • Third-party providers are chosen with security and reliability in mind.

    However, like any online system, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

  9. Hosting & Infrastructure

    This site is managed from Israel, but uses third-party hosting, content delivery, and analytics services that may process data on servers located in other countries.

    These providers operate under their own privacy policies and, where applicable, regional frameworks such as GDPR or CCPA.

  10. NFTs and Blockchain Data

    Some artworks shown on this site may also be issued as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and traded on external marketplaces.

    • NFT transactions, blockchain addresses, wallet details, and payments are handled by third-party marketplaces and blockchain networks, not by this website.
    • I do not operate those networks or marketplaces and do not process your private keys or payment data.
    • I may view publicly-available on-chain data (for example, to verify authenticity or ownership), but I do not combine it with other personal data or create separate profiles.

    For rights and usage related to NFTs, please refer to the separate NFT Collector Terms.

  11. Your Rights

    You may:

    • Unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time
    • Request removal of your newsletter subscription email
    • Ask general questions about how your data is handled

    For privacy-related requests or concerns, contact: compliance@laukstein.com

  12. Updates

    This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the site or in applicable laws. The "last updated" date at the top of this page shows the most recent revision.

    Your use of this website is also subject to the Terms of Use, which are governed by the laws of Israel.
