Privacy Policy

The short version

nickgallo.dev is a personal website. I don't sell anything, I don't run ads, and I don't keep accounts or profiles of visitors.

Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are popular. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects information such as your approximate location, browser, device and the pages you view. You can read how Google uses this data at policies.google.com, or block it with Google's opt-out browser add-on.

Cookies

Besides Google Analytics, the site uses a security cookie that protects forms from forgery. If you connect your Strava account (below), two more cookies are used during sign-in and while you view your dashboard.

Connecting your Strava account

The Strava page lets you connect your own Strava account to see your activities mapped and charted. If you do:

  • The site asks Strava for read-only access to your profile and activities. It can't post, edit or delete anything, and it can't see activities you've marked "Only You".
  • Strava gives the site a temporary access token, which is kept only in a cookie in your browser. It expires within six hours.
  • Your activities pass through the site's server to build your charts and map, and only the date, sport type, distance, time, elevation, heart rate, speed and route of each activity are used. Nothing is saved: no database, no logs of your activities, no copies.
  • Your dashboard is shown only to you. No one else can see it.
  • Clicking Disconnect Strava revokes the site's access and deletes the cookie. You can also revoke access any time at strava.com/settings/apps.

Server logs

Like most websites, the hosting provider (Heroku) keeps standard request logs, such as IP address, browser and the page requested, for operating and securing the site.

Third-party links

This site links to other websites. Their privacy practices are their own, so please read their policies.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with an updated date.
