What this site keeps

PRIVACY

This site, jackylee.art, is run by Jacky Lee Visionary Creations Pty Ltd (ACN 675 433 664, ABN 80 675 433 664), of Canberra, Australia (“we”, “us” and “our”). This page says what the site keeps about you, why, for how long, and who else handles it.

Contact messages. What you send through the contact form goes to our server, in Germany, with the time you sent it, the address of the page you sent it from, your browser's language, and a code made from your internet address with a key that changes every day and is never written down (it links messages sent on one day, against abuse, and cannot be turned back into your address). Giving your name, email and message is up to you, but without them we can't reply. What you send is used only to reply to you and to deal with what you ask, and it is kept for about a year (its backups for one more month). If our server can't be reached, your browser keeps the message and sends it the next time you open the contact page. We reply by email, so the exchange then stays in our mailbox like any other email.

Reading figures. Every time an issue of the Weekly News Brief or an article on this site is opened, our server adds one to its count. For each visit it also notes the date and time, how far you read and for how long the page was in front of you, the website you came from (its name only, never the page), your country (from Cloudflare) and whether you are on a phone, tablet or computer. No cookie is set: the page keeps a random number for the open tab, which your browser forgets when you close it, so that reloading does not count again. The reading figures never keep your address or browser details: they are turned into a code with a random key that changes every day and is never written down, so the figures cannot be turned back into an address, or link one day's visit to another's. The record of each visit is deleted after a year, and its backups a month later; only the totals are kept after that.

If you'd rather not be measured. Press the button below, or set your browser to ask websites not to track you (Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track): either way, the reading figures then hold only which issue or article was opened, and when. Nothing about how you read, where you came from, your country or your device, and no code is made from your address. The button keeps your choice in this browser.

Your browser asks websites not to track you, so your reading here is not measured: each time you open an issue or article it counts as one opening, and nothing more goes into the figures.

Your reading on this browser is not measured: each time you open an issue or article it counts as one opening, and nothing more goes into the figures.

This browser would not let the site remember your choice. Its own privacy setting, Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, does the same.

Logs and cookies. No advertising, no analytics service and no cookies of ours; the pages load nothing from other websites. Like every website, our server keeps ordinary access logs (the internet address, the time, the page asked for, the page that linked to it and your browser's details) for two weeks, and an error log (the internet address, the time, the page and the page that linked to it, when a request goes wrong or is turned away by the site's limits) for a few weeks; Cloudflare, which protects it, keeps its own for a short time. All of them are for security, and none is used for the reading figures. Cloudflare may set a cookie of its own when it checks that a visitor is not a robot.

Who else handles it. Hetzner runs our server in Germany and keeps what is on it for us, and Cloudflare, which protects the site, carries every visit to it and keeps its own records under its own privacy policy. Nothing from this site is sold, used for advertising or given to anyone else, unless the law requires us to hand it over.

Keeping it safe. The site is only served over an encrypted connection, and we take reasonable steps to keep what it holds safe, though no website can promise that nothing will ever go wrong.

Seeing or correcting what we hold. You can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, and ask us to correct it or delete it. Write to us through the contact form, with the reference of your message or the email address you used, and we will answer within 30 days. The reading figures hold nothing that identifies you, so there is nothing in them that we could find for you.

Other websites. Links to other websites, such as an article's sources or Jacky Lee's profiles elsewhere, take you to pages with their own privacy rules, which this page does not cover.

Changes to this page. When what the site keeps changes, this page changes with it. Last updated 24 October 2026.
