Terms & Privacy

A plain-language note on privacy, cookies, content reuse, project licenses, and the limits of personal, opinionated writing shared on mindoff.work.

Last updated June 4, 2026.

1. Privacy

mindoff.work is a small personal website, not an account-based product. You do not need to sign up, log in, leave a comment, join a newsletter, or send any personal information to read the projects and notes here.

If you choose to contact mindoff.work by email, GitHub, or another external channel, I may receive the name, handle, email address, message, or attachment you decide to share. I use that only to understand the message, reply to you, and keep enough context to manage the conversation.

For example: if you send a correction about a note, your email address is used to reply to that correction. It is not added to a marketing list or sold to anyone.

You can ask for direct correspondence to be updated or deleted where it is practical. Some records may remain if they are needed for security, backup integrity, legal compliance, or ordinary record-keeping.

  • No visitor accounts are created here.
  • No personal data is sold here.
  • No contact details are used for mailing lists unless a separate opt-in is added later.

2. Cookies and local storage

The site remembers your light or dark theme choice in browser local storage under the key mindoff-theme. That preference stays on your device so the page can open in the right theme the next time you visit.

mindoff.work does not currently set analytics, advertising, tracking, login, or affiliate cookies. There is no hidden dashboard trying to guess who you are. If that ever changes, this policy should be updated before those tools are enabled.

Your browser, device, network provider, static hosting provider, font provider, and any external websites you open may still process basic technical information such as IP address, user agent, request time, referring page, or error logs under their own policies.

You can clear local storage and cookies from your browser settings whenever you like. Clearing them may reset the theme preference, but it will not block access to the public content.

3. Content license

Most things published directly on mindoff.work are meant to be useful beyond this site. Unless a page, file, repository, image credit, or embedded third-party source says otherwise, original writing, notes, essays, snapshots, and creator-made open images are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).

That means you may copy, share, translate, adapt, remix, and use the content commercially. The license includes attribution, but I am not asking for ceremony: a simple credit to mindoff.work with a link to the source page is enough, and mentioning meaningful changes is appreciated where it helps readers.

Please do not imply endorsement, authorship, partnership, or official approval unless permission is given separately.

Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License
  • You may use notes and original site writing commercially.
  • You may use creator-made open images commercially.
  • You may translate, quote, adapt, remix, or build on the content.
  • A light credit is appreciated and keeps reuse clear for everyone.

4. Projects, code, and third-party material

Project pages often talk about software, tools, experiments, screenshots, benchmarks, libraries, documentation, or repositories. The write-up on mindoff.work follows the content license above unless it says otherwise.

The actual project may have a different license. Source code, packages, documentation sites, repository files, and downloadable releases follow the license shipped with that project, such as its LICENSE file, package metadata, documentation license, or platform terms.

Third-party assets, services, trademarks, product names, libraries, icons, fonts, screenshots, embeds, and linked resources belong to their respective owners and follow their own licenses and terms.

5. User responsibility

Please use the site and its content responsibly. Do not use mindoff.work content to mislead people, impersonate the site, run scams, strip attribution in a way that breaks the license, or suggest an association that does not exist.

If you reuse anything here, you are responsible for checking whether it fits your jurisdiction, product, publication, client work, safety context, and licensing needs.

If you notice a security issue, broken credit, mistaken attribution, or possible rights concern, please get in touch so it can be reviewed and corrected if needed.

6. Disclaimer

mindoff.work is shared for learning, reflection, and inspiration. The notes and project write-ups are opinionated, shaped by personal experience, experiments, research, and the state of the work when they were written.

I try to be thoughtful and accurate, but mistakes happen and older posts can become less useful over time. What worked for one project, tool, workflow, or season of life may not work for yours.

Nothing here should be treated as medical, legal, financial, safety, or other professional advice, especially for decisions where the stakes are high. Please double-check important decisions with trusted sources or qualified people before relying on anything here.

The site and its content are provided as is, without warranties or guarantees. To the fullest extent allowed by law, mindoff.work and its creator are not liable for losses, damages, injuries, claims, costs, data loss, or other consequences from using the site, relying on its content, reusing licensed material, or visiting linked external resources.

8. Updates to this policy

This policy may change as the site changes, especially if new routes, contact flows, analytics, cookies, licensing choices, sponsorships, or publishing formats are introduced.

The current version will live at /policy. The last updated date below is the easiest way to know whether anything has changed.

9. Contact

If you have a privacy request, licensing question, correction, security report, or rights concern, use the contact details on the About page.
