Who we are

ByteFarer (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website located at https://bytefarer.com. See “Your Rights” below for contact information.

Data Minimization & Public Visitors

User registration is currently disabled and public comments are deactivated across the entire website, so we do not collect account or comment related personal data from public visitors. Some technical data (such as your IP address) is still processed automatically by our hosting and security infrastructure simply to deliver the site to your browser; see “Infrastructure & Third-Party Service Providers” below for details.

Technical Logs & Cookies

To maintain infrastructure stability and site performance, we deploy a minimal, data-minimized technical setup:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: A temporary cookie is used on the login page to check whether your browser accepts cookies; it carries no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. If an authorized user (such as a site administrator) logs in, additional cookies save that login session and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days (two weeks if “Remember Me” is selected), and screen-option cookies last one year; all are removed on logout.
• No Tracking or Analytics: We do not deploy advertising pixels, third-party user tracking networks, data analytics suites, or behavioral marketing cookies.
• Do Not Track: Some browsers broadcast a “Do Not Track” signal. Because we do not track or profile public visitors across websites, our site treats all visitors identically regardless of this signal.

Infrastructure & Third-Party Service Providers

While we do not trade, sell, or monetize any visitor data, we rely on essential infrastructure subprocessors to keep our website securely online:

• Web Hosting: Our website infrastructure is hosted in the United States by a cloud hosting provider. That provider automatically processes transient operational network telemetry (such as your IP address) to route web traffic securely and mitigate cyberattacks. Our server may also retain standard technical access logs for a limited period for security and troubleshooting purposes.
• Email Forwarding: Emails sent to our contact address are routed and forwarded by an email forwarding service to our administrative mailbox. That service processes your email address and message contents purely to ensure successful delivery.
• Account & Login Emails: If a password reset is requested for an administrator or registered account, the requester’s IP address is automatically included in the resulting reset email.

International Data Transfers

Our servers are located exclusively in the United States. If you are accessing this website from outside the United States (including the European Economic Area), please note that any technical connection metadata required to render our pages will be processed in the U.S. in accordance with standard data infrastructure mechanics.

Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Regardless of your location, you have the following rights over any personal data we do hold about you (for example, correspondence you’ve sent us, or account data if you are a registered user), subject to data we’re required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes:

• Access: request an exported copy of your personal data.
• Rectification: request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure: request that we delete your personal data.
• Restriction: request that we limit how we process your data.
• Objection: object to our processing of your data.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@bytefarer.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority at any time.

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion of that information, and not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information as defined under the CCPA.

To protect your information, we may ask you to verify your identity (and, where applicable, your California residency) before processing any request under this section to know, access, delete, correct, rectify, restrict, or object to the use of your personal information. This step helps ensure we don’t disclose or act on your data at the request of someone who isn’t entitled to it.

Changes to this Policy

We may review and update this Privacy Policy periodically to maintain alignment with our backend technology. The “Effective date” at the top of this document indicates our most recent update.
