Privacy policy

Last updated: 15 September 2026

This policy explains what personal data fastnotes.top processes, why, for how long, and your rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR.

1. Who is responsible

The data controller is Mihhail Odnolko, who runs fastnotes.top. Contact: mihhail.odnolko@gmail.com.

2. What we collect and why

Server access logs

When you open a page, the web server records a standard log line: your IP addressIP-адрес, the date and time, the page requested, the response status and size, the referring page, your browser's user-agent string and the languages your browser prefers (its Accept-Language header).

• Purpose: delivering the website, keeping it secure (detecting abuse and attacks), fixing errors and counting visits.
• Legal basis: our legitimate interest in operating a secure, working website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
• Retention: 14 days, after which the logs are deleted automatically.

Visit statistics

From the logs we calculate daily totals: page views, requests, the number of distinct visitors and how many visitors' browsers prefer each language. Automated traffic (bots and vulnerability scanners) is recognised from the same log lines and left out of these totals. Only these totals are kept long-term; they contain no IP addresses or other identifiers. The site owner's private statistics page lists the most active networks with shortened (masked) IP addresses, so no individual address is shown.

Browser storage (no cookies)

fastnotes sets no cookies. It uses your browser's storage only for:

• fn_lang: your English / Russian choice;
• fn_consent and fn_consent_at: your privacy choice and the date you made it.

If you accept, your language choice is remembered between visits. If you reject, it is kept only for the current browser session and removed when you close the browser. This storage never leaves your device and is not used for tracking, advertising or profiling.

3. What we do not do

• No analytics services, advertising, social-media plugins, or third-party scripts and fonts.
• No user accounts, forms or newsletters.
• We do not sell, rent or share personal data, and there is no profiling or automated decision-making.

4. Content from other services

Headlines, market prices, weather, football, earthquake and event data are downloaded byЗаголовки, market prices, погода, футбол, earthquake and event data are downloaded by our server from their publishers (news RSS feeds, CNBC, CoinGecko, Open-Meteo, ESPN, USGS, GDACS, NASA EONET, ForexFactory, the European Commission, the UK government and the U.S. EIA). Your browser does not contact these services while you read fastnotes. Links to source articles take you to other websites, which have their own privacy policies.

5. Hosting

The site runs on a virtual server provided by IONOS SE in Germany (EU), which processes the server logs on our behalf as a data processor. We do not pass your personal data to anyone else.

6. Your rights

You have the right to access your personal data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict its processing, to object to processing based on legitimate interests, and to data portability where it applies. You can change or withdraw your privacy choice at any time (see below). To exercise a right, email mihhail.odnolko@gmail.com. Because logs are kept for only 14 days and are not linked to names, we may need your IP address and the approximate time of your visit to find your data.

You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority: in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk); in the EU, the authority in your country.

8. Changes

We will update this policy if what the site processes changes; the date at the top shows the latest version.
