At PerfEngineers (“PerfEngineers”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), accessible at https://www.perfengineers.com/, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the information you provide when using our website.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit or interact with PerfEngineers, how that information is used, and the choices available to you.

PerfEngineers is an educational and informational website focused on Capacity Planning, Load Testing, Observability, Performance Architecture, Performance Engineering, and Site Reliability Engineering.

By using our website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Any other information you voluntarily provide

You can browse most of the informational content on PerfEngineers without directly providing personal information.

This may include:

The custom JavaScript used by PerfEngineers primarily provides website functionality such as navigation, dropdown menus, animations, visual effects, and accessibility-related behavior. It is not designed to intentionally collect personal information from visitors.

Please do not submit passwords, payment-card information, government identification numbers, or other highly sensitive information through our contact forms.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

PerfEngineers may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the operation, security, functionality, and preferences of the website.

Cookies may be used to help:

Operate website functionality
Maintain certain preferences
Support security features
Improve website performance
Remember certain settings where applicable

You can control or restrict cookies through your browser settings.

Where cookie-management functionality is provided on the website, you may also use the available controls to manage applicable cookie preferences.

Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.

5. Spam Protection

PerfEngineers uses anti-spam technologies to help protect the website from unwanted or malicious submissions.

We use Akismet as part of our spam-protection measures. Depending on how Akismet is configured and where it is applied, information contained in user-submitted content may be processed by Akismet to determine whether the submission is spam.

Akismet states that it collects only the personal data needed to perform its anti-spam function and that it does not sell the personal data sent to its service. Akismet also states that most spam-related data is retained for relatively short periods before being automatically deleted.

For more information, you may review Akismet’s Privacy Policy.

6. Website Security

PerfEngineers uses security technologies and services to help protect the website against malicious activity, unauthorized access, attacks, spam, and other security threats.

We use Sucuri as part of our website security measures.

Security systems may process technical information associated with requests to the website, including information necessary to identify and investigate suspicious or malicious activity.

Depending on the Sucuri features enabled on the website, security and audit information may also be processed by Sucuri. Sucuri’s documentation states that its WordPress plugin can collect the email address associated with its API key and copies of server-generated audit logs.

For more information, you may review Sucuri’s Privacy Policy.

7. Website Performance and Caching

PerfEngineers uses website-performance and caching technologies to help pages load efficiently and to improve the overall reliability and performance of the website.

These technologies may process limited technical information necessary to deliver cached content and operate the website.

Such technologies are used for website performance and functionality rather than for intentionally identifying individual visitors.

8. Google Fonts

PerfEngineers uses fonts provided through Google Fonts.

Our homepage currently requests fonts including Space Grotesk, Inter, and Fraunces from Google’s font service.

When a browser requests a font from Google Fonts, it connects to Google’s servers to retrieve the required font resources. Google documents that its Fonts API serves stylesheets and font resources in response to browser requests.

The processing of information associated with those requests is governed by Google’s applicable policies.

You can learn more about Google Fonts at Google Fonts.

9. Third-Party Websites and Links

PerfEngineers may contain links to websites, resources, documentation, tools, software, or other services operated by third parties.

These links may appear within our articles, resources, or other content.

When you follow a link to a third-party website, you are leaving PerfEngineers and becoming subject to that third party’s privacy policy and practices.

PerfEngineers does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit.
