Private Data
Rest assured that your details are safe, password-protected and secured with an additional layer of 2FA. As an extra step, the aforementioned are subsequently backed up using Bitwarden's secure vault. This makes it difficult for anyone to access your information without my personal approval.

Links
This privacy policy does not apply to external websites linked/referred to on here that are not operated by me. The Ponder Lab has no influence on whether the operators of these sites comply with this privacy policy - they are always responsible for their content.
At the time of referrals to these sites, illegal contents were not apparent. If any damage occurs by the use of information presented there, only the author of the respective pages might be liable, not the one who has linked to these pages.
I do ask however that in such a case, that if you (visitor of The Ponder Lab's website), encounter a violation, that you bring this to my attention, so I can remove those links immediately.

Adjustments
I reserve the right to update this privacy policy without notice. Should that happen, the most recent version will be published here. The adjustments apply upon publication. If anything here contradicts or conflicts with any laws that apply to The Ponder Lab, then those shall control, but only to the extent that The Ponder Lab is subject to them.
To summarise it all up
I take personal information very seriously, and I find that it should not only remain that way, but that it should also be kept private.
