Privacy

This personal academic website has no accounts, comments, advertising, or forms, and I do not collect names or email addresses through it. If you email me, I use your address only to reply.

What is collected when you visit

• Hosting. GitHub Pages hosts the site. GitHub logs each visitor’s IP address for security purposes, and I have no access to those logs.
• Analytics. I use Google Analytics to see which pages people read and roughly where visitors come from. It sets cookies in your browser and gives me aggregate statistics that do not identify you. Google explains how it uses this information, and you can block Analytics with Google’s opt-out add-on or your browser’s cookie settings.
• Dark mode. If you switch on dark mode, your browser remembers that choice on your device. Nothing is sent to me.

Content loaded from other sites

Some pages show content that your browser loads directly from other services, which receive your IP address as they would if you visited their sites:

• Research: citation badges from Altmetric.
• Newsletter: cover images from Substack.
• Media: publication icons from Google’s icon service and a few images from the outlets.
• Book: the excerpt reader from Issuu.
• Paper viewer: the MathJax and Marked libraries from the jsDelivr and cdnjs networks.

Links to other websites, including my newsletter Popular by Design on Substack, lead to services with their own privacy policies. You can email me at akustov@nd.edu with questions about any of this.
