1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Minniark (“we”, “our”, “the Software”) handles personal data when you visit the Minniark website or use Minniark in a self-hosted environment.

Minniark is designed as a privacy-friendly, self-hosted content management system. By default, Minniark does not track users, collect analytics, or transmit personal data to external services.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Website Usage

When visiting the Minniark website, standard technical data may be processed by the web server, including:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of access
  • Requested pages or files
  • Browser and operating system information

This data is required for technical operation and security (e.g. server logs).

2.2 Contact Data

If you contact us (for example via email), we process the information you voluntarily provide, such as:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Message content

This data is used solely to respond to your inquiry.

2.3 Minniark Software Usage

Minniark itself runs entirely on your own server.

No personal data is sent to us by default

No telemetry or analytics are enabled by default

All content, images, and metadata remain under your control

Any data collected within your Minniark installation is your responsibility as the site operator.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.

4. Third-Party Services

The Minniark website may rely on technical service providers such as hosting or content delivery services.

Minniark itself does not include mandatory third-party services. Optional integrations (e.g. external APIs, analytics, or AI services) must be explicitly enabled and configured by the site operator.

5. Data Retention

Personal data is stored only for as long as necessary to fulfill its purpose or as required by law.

Server logs are typically retained for a limited period for security and debugging purposes.

Depending on applicable data protection laws, you may have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Request correction or deletion
  • Restrict or object to processing
  • Request data portability

Requests can be made using the contact information provided on this website.

7. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

For self-hosted Minniark installations, data security depends on the configuration and maintenance performed by the site operator.
