Privacy Policy
This is short because we collect very little. There is no analytics, no advertising and no tracking on this site. If you have never subscribed and have never been in touch with us, we hold no personal data about you at all.
Who we are
naderu.com is operated by BytesBrains Pte. Ltd., a company incorporated in Singapore. BytesBrains is the data controller for the purposes of this policy.
For anything on this page — access, correction, deletion, or a complaint — write to contact@naderu.com. That address also reaches the person responsible for data protection, as required under Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act.
What we collect if you subscribe
The site has one feature that collects personal data: subscribing to the weekly model report. If you press Subscribe with Google and complete Google sign-in, we store:
| What | Why we need it |
|---|---|
| Your email address | To send you the weekly report. There is no other purpose. |
| Your Google display name | So the email can address you by name rather than by inbox. |
| Your Google account ID | An opaque identifier that lets you unsubscribe and re-subscribe without creating a duplicate record. |
| The time you subscribed, the page you did it from, and the versions of this policy and the Terms you agreed to | So we can show when you consented and exactly what you were shown when you did. This protects you as much as us. |
That is the complete list. We do not ask for or receive your Google password, contacts, calendar, files, or anything else from your Google account.
The other way your address can be here
Subscribing is not the only route onto the list, and it would be misleading to imply it was. If you have corresponded with someone at BytesBrains and we judged the weekly model report relevant to your work, we may have added your address ourselves. In that case we hold only:
| What | Why we need it |
|---|---|
| Your email address | To send you the weekly report. There is no other purpose. |
| The name it appeared under in that correspondence | So the email can address you by name rather than by inbox. |
| A note recording that we added you, who added you, and when | So the origin of every address on this list is answerable. It is the honest counterpart of the consent record above. |
We do not hold a consent record for you, because you did not give one. The record says you were added, not that you agreed — we are not going to write down a consent that never happened. The lawful basis is our legitimate interest in telling a professional contact about work in their own field, balanced against a one-click exit that we honour permanently and immediately.
If you would rather we had not: the unsubscribe link in any email removes you at once, with no sign-in and no questions, and the address is suppressed for good. If you want the record erased rather than marked, write to contact@naderu.com and we will delete it outright.
What we do not do
- No analytics or measurement scripts on any page of this site.
- No advertising, no ad networks, no data brokers.
- No tracking pixels in the weekly report — we do not record whether you opened it or which links you clicked.
- We never sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Not now, not as a future business model.
- There is one list and one email a week. No second list, no segments, nothing sold or shared.
- We never buy address lists, and we do not scrape them from the web.
Storage in your browser
We set no advertising or analytics cookies. Two things are stored locally in your browser:
- Your light/dark theme choice, in
localStorage, so the site remembers it. This never leaves your device. - If you sign in to subscribe, Google's Firebase Authentication stores a sign-in session in your browser. You can clear it by signing out or clearing site data.
Lawful basis
Your consent, given by pressing the subscribe button, which names the purpose before you press it. You can withdraw that consent at any time, as easily as you gave it, and withdrawing it does not require you to explain why.
Who else can see it
We use service providers who process this data on our behalf and only on our instructions:
- Google (Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, and Firebase Hosting) — sign-in and storage of the subscriber record.
- An email delivery provider — needed to actually send the report. At the time of this version, the weekly send is not yet live and no provider holds your address. We will name the provider here and publish a new version of this policy before any email is sent.
These providers may process and store data outside Singapore, including in the United States, under contractual terms requiring protection comparable to Singapore's PDPA.
How long we keep it
- While you are subscribed — for as long as you stay subscribed.
- After you unsubscribe — we keep a minimal suppression record (your account ID, address, and the fact that you unsubscribed and when) for 24 months, so an accidental re-import can never put you back on the list, and so we can evidence that consent was given and withdrawn. After 24 months it is deleted.
- If you ask us to erase it — we delete the record outright, sooner than the above.
Your rights
You can ask us to: give you a copy of what we hold about you; correct it; delete it; or stop using it. Write to contact@naderu.com and we will respond within 30 days. You never need an account or a form to make one of these requests.
Every weekly report also carries a one-click unsubscribe link that works without signing in.
If you are in Singapore you may complain to the Personal Data Protection Commission. If you are in the EEA or UK, the GDPR applies to our handling of your data and you may complain to your national supervisory authority. We would rather you told us first, and we would rather fix it.
Children
This site is aimed at people doing engineering work and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you believe we have, tell us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
This document is versioned by date, shown at the top. When we subscribed you, we recorded which version you agreed to, so we can always tell what you were actually shown. If we change the policy in a way that materially affects subscribers, we will say so in the weekly report rather than change it quietly.
The short version. If you don't subscribe, we have nothing about you. If you do, we have your email address so we can send you one email a week, and a record of the moment you agreed to that. You can leave in one click, and we'll delete it if you ask.
