Privacy Policy

Website: jrlenz.com
Last updated: October 19, 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how jrlenz.com (“the Website”) processes information relating to visitors.

The Website is a personally operated website designed to minimize the collection and processing of personal information. Personal information is processed only where necessary to provide the Website's functionality, maintain security, understand general usage, or respond to requests initiated by users.

The Website does not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising.

Some technical information is processed by the Website's hosting infrastructure and content delivery network. These activities are described below.

This Policy is intended to address applicable privacy and data protection requirements, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR where applicable, and applicable California privacy laws.

2. Website Operator and Contact

The operator responsible for the Website's own processing of personal information is:

J. R. Lenz
Murcia, Negros Occidental
6129 Philippines

Website: https://jrlenz.com
Privacy contact: [email protected]

3. Information Processed

3.1 Technical information and server logs

When you access the Website, technical information may be processed to deliver content and maintain the service. This may include:

• IP addresses.
• Request timestamps and requested URLs.
• Browser and device information transmitted with requests.
• Server access and error logs.
• Technical information used for security, performance, and troubleshooting.

Server logs containing IP addresses are retained for no longer than 60 days. After this period, the logs are not recoverable.

This information is processed for operating the Website, diagnosing technical problems, maintaining security, and investigating potential abuse. It is not intentionally used to identify visitors for advertising or commercial profiling.

3.2 Internal analytics

The Website uses a self-designed, self-hosted analytics system operated internally by the Website administrator.

The analytics system is separate from Cloudflare's analytics services. Its data is used internally to understand Website usage and support the operation and improvement of the Website. Access is restricted to Website administrators, and analytics data is not shared with third parties.

Self-hosting and restricted access do not necessarily mean that all analytics information is anonymous or that it cannot constitute personal data under applicable law.

3.3 Cookies and browser storage

The Website uses browser storage to support functionality and remember user preferences, including:

• Accessibility preferences.
• Theme and display preferences.
• Language preferences.
• Session identification.

The Website uses a cookie named jrlenz.sid for session identification. Its maximum configured lifetime is 30 days.

Other browser storage mechanisms may be used where necessary to preserve preferences or provide Website functionality.

Cookies and similar technologies are not intentionally used by the Website for cross-site advertising or behavioral tracking.

Where a cookie or storage mechanism is strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the visitor or to maintain essential security, it may be used on that basis. Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, consent will be obtained before those technologies are used.

The Website displays a cookie notice where visitors can accept or reject optional cookies. The choice is stored in browser storage so the notice does not reappear on every page view. Visitors can change their choice using the “Cookie settings” control in the footer. Essential session and security cookies remain available regardless of this choice; site-controlled optional cookies are not used before consent.

Visitors may manage or remove cookies through their browser settings. Disabling cookies or other storage may affect session continuity, saved preferences, or other Website functionality.

Cloudflare may also use its own cookies or similar technologies to provide content delivery and security services, as described in Section 5.

3.4 Information voluntarily provided by visitors

The Website does not ordinarily require visitors to provide personal information to access its general content.

If you voluntarily provide personal information through a feature or communication channel, it will be processed to respond to your request, provide the relevant functionality, or comply with applicable legal obligations.

Personal information will not intentionally be reused for unrelated advertising or marketing purposes.

4. Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing

Where the GDPR, UK GDPR, or another applicable law requires a legal basis for processing personal data, the Website will rely on an appropriate legal basis for each processing activity.

Depending on the circumstances, these bases may include:

• Legitimate interests: Operating, maintaining, securing, and troubleshooting the Website, where those interests do not override the rights and freedoms of the individual.
• Consent: Where required by law, including for non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
• Performance of a contract or requested service: Where processing is necessary to provide a service or functionality requested by the visitor.
• Legal obligation: Where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law.

The applicable legal basis depends on the specific processing activity. Where processing relies on consent, consent may be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

5. Hosting, Content Delivery, and Third-Party Services

5.1 Hosting infrastructure

The Website is hosted through jrlenz.net. The physical hosting infrastructure is located in the United States, and the Website operator administers the ISP arrangement.

The hosting environment may process technical information, including IP addresses and request logs, to deliver the Website, maintain availability, and protect against technical or security problems.

Server logs maintained by the Website are subject to the retention limit described in Section 3.1. This retention statement does not establish the retention period applicable to separate records maintained independently by the hosting provider.

5.2 Cloudflare content delivery and analytics

The Website uses Cloudflare's services for geographically optimized content delivery and edge caching. Cloudflare may process requests through its global network to deliver cached content efficiently and support the availability and security of the Website.

Cloudflare also operates its own analytics services. These are separate from the Website's internal analytics system and are governed by Cloudflare's own policies and service configuration.

In providing its services, Cloudflare may process information such as IP addresses, request metadata, traffic statistics, and security-related information. Depending on the services and configuration in use, Cloudflare may also set cookies or use similar technologies necessary to deliver its services.

The Website uses Cloudflare's free plan with default settings. This does not mean that Cloudflare processes no personal information or that all processing occurs exclusively on the Website's own servers.

Cloudflare's published documentation explains that some Cloudflare cookies are used for service delivery and security and that cookie data may be processed in United States data centers by default.

For further information, consult:

• Cloudflare Privacy Policy
• Cloudflare Cookies Documentation
• Cloudflare Analytics Documentation

The Website operator does not control Cloudflare's independent processing practices beyond the settings and contractual choices available through the service.

5.3 Google Fonts

The Website uses fonts originating from Google Fonts that have been downloaded and are served statically from the Website's own infrastructure.

The Website does not intentionally load these font files directly from Google's servers when visitors access pages using the locally hosted files. Consequently, retrieving these fonts does not, by itself, require the visitor's browser to contact Google to download them.

This statement applies to the locally hosted font files and does not exclude separate processing by other third-party services if they are introduced elsewhere on the Website.

5.4 Other disclosures

Personal information may be disclosed where required by law, necessary to protect the Website or its users, or necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

The Website does not sell personal information or intentionally disclose it to third parties for their independent advertising purposes.

Processing by hosting providers and Cloudflare for their respective services is described above and is not represented as equivalent to the Website's internal analytics processing.

6. International Data Transfers

The Website is accessible internationally, and its physical hosting infrastructure is located in the United States. Cloudflare operates a global network and may process information in data centers outside the visitor's country of residence.

As a result, technical information and personal data may be processed internationally, including in the United States.

Where applicable data protection law restricts international transfers of personal data, the relevant parties must use an applicable lawful transfer mechanism or safeguard as required by law.

The precise contractual transfer mechanisms applicable to the hosting arrangement and Cloudflare service have not been independently verified for this Policy.

7. Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, taking account of operational, security, and legal requirements.

• Website server logs: Retained for no longer than 60 days and not recoverable after that period.
• Session cookie: The jrlenz.sid cookie has a maximum configured lifetime of 30 days.
• Preference storage: Retention depends on the storage mechanism and its configuration or the visitor's browser settings.
• Internal analytics: Used for internal operational and usage analysis. A specific retention period has not been established in this Policy.
• Cloudflare records and analytics: Subject to Cloudflare's applicable policies, service configuration, and retention practices.

Where information is no longer required, it will be deleted or anonymized where reasonably practicable, subject to applicable legal obligations.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have rights relating to personal information processed about you.

These rights may include:

• Access: Request confirmation of whether personal data is being processed and obtain access to it.
• Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Erasure: Request deletion of personal data, subject to applicable exceptions.
• Restriction: Request restriction of certain processing activities.
• Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests where the law provides that right.
• Data portability: Receive certain personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format where applicable.
• Withdrawal of consent: Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Complaint: Lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.

These rights are subject to applicable legal conditions and exceptions.

California residents

Where applicable California privacy law applies to the Website operator and the relevant processing, California residents may have rights to:

• Know what categories and specific items of personal information are collected, used, disclosed, or otherwise processed.
• Request deletion or correction of personal information, subject to applicable exceptions.
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information where applicable.
• Limit certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information where applicable.
• Receive equal service and treatment for exercising their privacy rights.
• Use an authorized agent to submit certain requests, subject to applicable verification requirements.

The Website does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising as described in this Policy.

The applicability of particular California statutory obligations depends on the operator's circumstances, statutory thresholds, and the nature of the processing. This Policy does not represent that every provision of California privacy law necessarily applies to the Website.

How to exercise your rights

To submit a privacy request, email [email protected] and describe the right you wish to exercise.

The Website operator may request reasonable information to verify your identity or authority to act on another person's behalf, where permitted or required by law.

Requests will be handled within the time limits prescribed by applicable law. Where the Website operator is not responsible for processing performed independently by a third party, you may also need to contact that provider directly.

9. Security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect information processed through the Website against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction.

Access to the Website's internal analytics is restricted to Website administrators.

Hosting and content delivery providers may apply their own security measures as part of their services.

No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Children's Privacy

The Website is intended for a general audience. It is not intentionally designed to collect personal information from children in circumstances where parental consent or other special protections are required.

If you believe that personal information has been collected through the Website inappropriately from a child, please contact [email protected] so that the matter can be reviewed and appropriate action taken.

11. Privacy Signals and Tracking Preferences

Where applicable law requires recognition of a browser-based privacy signal, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), the Website will handle that signal in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

The Website does not sell personal information or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as described in this Policy.

The treatment of privacy signals by third-party infrastructure providers, including Cloudflare, is governed by their applicable services, configurations, and policies.

12. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes in the Website's functionality, infrastructure, processing practices, or applicable legal requirements.

The current version will be published on this page with its latest revision date.
