Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 13, 2026

This privacy policy explains how MGN TechVault (operated by Matthew Gonzalez Nieves) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website at mgntechvault.com.

1. Personal Data

MGN TechVault does not offer user accounts, contact forms, newsletter subscriptions, advertising profiles, or paid services. The website owner does not directly ask for, receive, or store personal data through this website.

Some third-party services are loaded to provide analytics, fonts, hosting, and blog comments. Those services may process limited technical information such as your IP address, browser details, request timestamps, or account information if you choose to sign in and comment through GitHub. More details are listed below.

2. Analytics

This website uses Umami Analytics — a privacy-focused, open-source analytics platform. The Umami integration is configured as cookie-free website analytics. Specifically:

  • Umami does not use cookies of any kind.
  • Umami does not build advertising profiles or track visitors across unrelated websites.
  • Umami does not use fingerprinting or cross-site tracking.
  • The analytics data is limited to aggregated usage information such as page views, referrers, device type, browser, and country-level location.
  • The data is processed by Umami Cloud. See Umami's Privacy Policy.

Because the analytics setup is cookie-free and does not use advertising or cross-site tracking, no analytics cookie banner is displayed.

3. Cookies

This website itself does not set first-party cookies for analytics, advertising, or accounts. The only first-party client-side storage used is localStorage to remember your preferred theme (light or dark mode). This data never leaves your browser and is not sent to any server.

Blog comments are powered by Giscus and GitHub Discussions. When the comments widget loads or when you interact with it, Giscus and GitHub may process technical data and may use GitHub account cookies if you are signed in to GitHub. This is controlled by GitHub and Giscus, not by MGN TechVault.

4. Hosting

This website is hosted on Microsoft Azure Static Web Apps. Microsoft may collect standard web server logs (IP addresses, request timestamps) as part of their infrastructure operations. These logs are subject to Microsoft's Privacy Statement .

5. External Links

This website contains links to external sites (LinkedIn, GitHub, YouTube, Credly, Microsoft Learn, etc.). Once you leave MGN TechVault, this privacy policy no longer applies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

6. Comments

Blog comments are provided through Giscus, which connects each blog page to a GitHub Discussions thread. Viewing a blog post may load content from giscus.app. To post a comment, react, or join the discussion, you need to use GitHub. Your GitHub username, profile information, comment content, reactions, and timestamps may become publicly visible through GitHub Discussions.

See the GitHub Privacy Statement and Giscus Privacy Policy for more information.

7. Third-Party Services

The following third-party services are used on this website:

  • Google Fonts — fonts are loaded from Google's servers. See Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Umami Analytics — privacy-first analytics (see section 2 above).
  • Giscus and GitHub Discussions — blog comments and reactions (see section 6 above).
  • Microsoft Azure Static Web Apps — hosting and infrastructure logs (see section 4 above).

8. Your Rights

Since MGN TechVault does not directly collect or store personal data through this website, there is usually no first-party data to access, correct, or delete. For data processed by third-party services, please use the privacy controls provided by Microsoft, Google, Umami, GitHub, or Giscus.

If you have any privacy-related questions about this website, you can reach out via the contact options listed on the About page.

9. Changes to This Policy

This privacy policy may be updated occasionally. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
