This page explains how MinimaHub handles data and how you can stay in
control of your privacy when you visit the site, use the wiki or
choose to get in touch.
1. Summary
MinimaHub is designed to be as privacy-friendly as possible:
- No Google Analytics or similar analytics tools.
- No advertising or behavioural tracking scripts.
- No profiling of visitors or hidden data collection.
- No requirement to create an account to read the content.
In practice, the only time personal data is involved is when you
voluntarily contact the site owner or decide to make a donation.
2. Who runs MinimaHub?
MinimaHub is an independent project based in the European Union. It is
run by a single person as a small, non-commercial knowledge hub. For
privacy questions you can reach out via the contact form on the main
site.
3. What data is collected when you browse the site?
Simply visiting minimahub.org or wiki.minimahub.org does not require
you to identify yourself. The site does not use third-party tracking
pixels, social media widgets or analytics beacons.
The web hosting provider may automatically record basic technical logs
(for example IP address, browser type and time of request) to keep the
server secure and to diagnose problems. These logs are standard for
any website and are not used to build visitor profiles.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
MinimaHub is built to avoid unnecessary cookies:
- No advertising or remarketing cookies.
- No analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics).
Technical cookies might be used in limited cases (for example, if
there is a login area for administration). These are only used to keep
the site running securely and are not used to track you across other
sites.
5. Contact forms and email
If you choose to contact MinimaHub using a contact form or by email,
the information you provide will be used only to:
- Read and answer your message.
- Follow up on any request you have made.
You are encouraged not to send sensitive personal information. Where
possible, you can use privacy-respecting tools (for example, email
aliases or providers that protect your metadata) and avoid including
details that are not necessary for your question.
6. Donations via PayPal
If you choose to support the project with a donation, payments are
processed securely by PayPal. When you click the donate button you are
redirected to PayPal’s website, which is subject to PayPal’s own terms
and privacy policy.
MinimaHub does not see your full card or bank details. PayPal may
share limited information such as:
- your name or chosen alias,
- your email address,
- the amount and date of the donation.
This information is used only to:
- confirm the payment,
- keep basic accounting records as required by law,
- say thank you if you have clearly opted-in to being contacted.
No donation information is sold or shared with advertisers.
7. Legal basis and retention
Because MinimaHub is based in the EU, the handling of any personal
data follows the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR).
- Contact and correspondence are processed on the
basis of your consent and the legitimate interest of replying to
you. - Donation records are processed on the basis of
legal obligations related to accounting and bookkeeping.
Messages and donation records are kept only for as long as they are
needed for these purposes or for as long as local tax rules require.
8. Your rights
If you are in the EU or a similar jurisdiction, you generally have the
right to:
- ask what personal data is held about you, if any;
- request correction of inaccurate data;
- ask for deletion of your data where it is no longer needed;
- object to processing based on legitimate interests;
- lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, you can reach out via the contact
form on the main site and clearly state that your message is a privacy
request.
9. How to stay private when using the site
MinimaHub is intentionally low-surveillance, but you can go further:
- Use a privacy-focused browser and consider blocking third-party
scripts by default. - Use email aliases or privacy-friendly mail providers when contacting
the site. - Avoid sharing more personal information than is strictly necessary.
10. Changes to this policy
If the site ever starts using analytics, new tools or additional
services that may affect your privacy, this policy will be updated to
explain exactly what has changed. The date below shows the latest
update.
