Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 2026 · Canonical Domain: https://fred-le.io.vn

This Privacy Policy explains how Fred Le ("I", "me", or "the site owner") collects, uses, and safeguards information when you visit the website https://fred-le.io.vn. I am committed to respecting your privacy, minimizing data collection, and operating with complete transparency.

1. Privacy-First Principles

This site is an engineering portfolio, blog, and professional profile. As a software engineer, I strongly value minimal tracking and digital rights:

  • Zero Ad-Tech: I do not run third-party advertising networks, affiliate trackers, or surveillance pixels (such as Meta Pixel or TikTok pixels).
  • No Data Brokering: I never sell, rent, monetize, or trade any visitor data or communications.
  • Data Minimization: Only the absolute minimum technical information necessary to serve web pages securely and reliably is processed.

2. Information Collected & How It Is Used

A. Anonymous Performance Metrics: This site uses Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights to measure aggregate performance (Core Web Vitals such as LCP, INP, CLS) and page view counts. These services operate without collecting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and without using persistent cross-site tracking cookies.

B. Direct Inquiries: When you voluntarily contact me via email (trunghieu.fred.work@gmail.com) or phone, I retain the information you provide (name, email address, message body, project details) exclusively to respond to your inquiry and conduct professional correspondence.

C. Technical Server Logs: Standard HTTP server logs (IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp) are processed temporarily by the hosting infrastructure (Vercel) for DDoS mitigation, anomaly detection, and operational debugging.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

This site uses strictly functional, client-side preferences and security tokens:

theme (Local Storage)Stores your preferred UI color scheme ('light', 'dark', or 'system').
NEXT_LOCALE (Cookie)Remembers your preferred language selection ('en' or 'vi').
better-auth.session_token (Cookie)Used solely for authenticated site administrators accessing the CMS panel. Regular visitors do not receive this cookie.

4. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including the EU General Data Protection Regulation / GDPR, California Consumer Privacy Act / CCPA, and Vietnamese Cyber Information Security Law), you have rights regarding your personal information:

  • The right to request access to any personal correspondence or records I hold regarding you.
  • The right to request the rectification or correction of inaccurate data.
