Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 30, 2026

Reliable Data Engineering (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website reliabledataengineering.com. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when you visit our site.

Information We Collect

Log Data

When you visit our website, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) may collect standard log data, including your IP address, browser type, referring page, pages visited, and the time and date of your visit. This data is used for security and performance monitoring.

Cookies

Our site may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience. Cookies are small data files stored on your device. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

Types of cookies we use:

Essential cookies — required for the site to function (e.g., theme preference, authentication state)
Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with the site
Advertising cookies — used by Google AdSense to serve relevant advertisements

Some features store information you give us, in our database:

Account: your email address and display name, your GitHub or Google profile ID and avatar if you sign in with one of them, and anything you add to your profile (bio, website, location, avatar). Email sign-in uses one-time links, so we don’t store passwords.
Activity: comments, likes, reactions, highlights, notes, bookmarks, reading history and notifications.
Newsletter: your email address and subscription status.

We use this only to run these features and, for subscribers, to email new articles. Signed-in sessions use an essential cookie that expires after 30 days. Anonymous likes and reactions use a random identifier stored in your browser.

Service Providers

These providers process data on our behalf:

Cloudflare: hosting, DNS and security, including Turnstile, a bot check on sign-in, comment and newsletter forms.
Neon: database hosting (United States).
Resend: email delivery.
GitHub and Google: sign-in, if you choose them.
Google Analytics: visitor statistics.
Google AdSense: advertising.

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our site. Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. You can also accept or reject non-essential cookies in the cookie banner on this site. For more information about how Google collects and uses data, visit Google’s Privacy & Terms.

Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to external websites that are not operated by us. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. These services collect information about your use of the website through cookies and similar technologies. The data collected is used solely to improve site content and user experience.

Data Retention

Account and activity data is kept until you ask us to delete it. Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe (every email has an unsubscribe link). Log data is retained according to the policies of our hosting provider (Cloudflare). Analytics and advertising data is retained according to Google’s policies.
