I do not have access logs enabled. [Access logs](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/logs.html) typically include IP addresses, operating system information, the internal pages and resources requested, and time of access.
Browsers will, by default, "prefetch," or ["proactively perform domain name resolution on both links that the user may choose to follow as well as URLs for items referenced by the document."](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-DNS-Prefetch-Control) Because I link to external sites, I have *disabled* prefetching with the X-DNS-Prefetch-Control header. Setting this header avoids "leaking" your information to external sites by simply browsing my website. **If you click on an external link, you are still subject to the privacy and security policies of that outside website.**
Your connection to this website is secured by, among other settings, HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) headers, redirection to HTTPS, and a strong Content Security Policy.

Your email address is considered personal information under, for example, the [California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018.](https://www.oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa) That being said, I have no interest in sharing *anyone's* information with third parties.
If you do contact me, you're not required to use a real name or a permanent email address. `1D2E ED2F 9D90 6875 C4F4 DAD2 068C 9178 672B A80E` is the fingerprint for my OpenPGP key, which you can find in the footer. *Don't feel obligated to start using OpenPGP to contact me!* Where a response is required, I can also [set up a temporary inbox.](https://kb.mailbox.org/display/MAILBOX/Temporary+mailbox+for+external+users) If you're wondering why encryption is so important, consider reading ["Why we encrypt" by Bruce Schneier.](https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2015/06/why_we_encrypt.html)
