Privacy Policy
Last updated:
Debug & Play (debugplay.com) is a personal blog operated by Nesmy. This policy explains how information is handled when you read posts, subscribe or get in touch.
Information you provide
If you subscribe to the newsletter, this site stores your email address and signup time on its server to maintain the subscriber list and send blog updates. To unsubscribe or request removal of your signup information, contact me using the address you subscribed with.
If you send a message, I receive the information you include, such as your name, email address and message. I use it to respond and handle your request. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information.
Technical information and cookies
Requests to the site disclose technical information such as your IP address and browser details to the hosting service. Server logs may record that information for operation, troubleshooting and security. The administrative area uses a login cookie; readers do not need an account to browse posts.
Advertising and third-party services
This site uses Google AdSense when advertising is enabled. Google and other advertising vendors may place or read cookies, use web beacons and collect IP addresses or device information as part of serving and measuring ads.
Advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to personalize ads using earlier visits to this site and other websites. Other third-party vendors or ad networks may also use cookies when serving ads here.
Read how Google uses information from partner sites and Google's Privacy Policy for details about Google's handling of that information.
Your choices
You can manage or turn off personalized Google ads in My Ad Center. The Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out tool offers choices for participating third-party advertising companies. Turning off personalization does not necessarily remove ads.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. This may affect features that depend on cookies. Where a consent message is presented, use its controls to make your advertising choices.
Retention and privacy requests
Newsletter signup details are kept while you remain subscribed. Messages are kept as needed to respond and handle follow-up questions. You can request access, correction or deletion of information you have provided through the Contact page. Any applicable legal retention requirements may affect a deletion request.
Links to other sites
Posts link to services such as GitHub, itch.io and social networks. Their privacy policies apply when you visit them. This policy covers Debug & Play, not those independently operated services.
Changes and contact
I may update this policy as the site's features change. The date above identifies the latest revision. Send questions about this policy or your information through the Contact page.
