Who we are

DayOne.dev is a technology blog focused on developer-first insights, frameworks, and AI tooling. Our website is powered by WordPress and uses OAuth to authenticate users.

 

Login & Registration via Social OAuth

We use Social OAuth (Google, LinkedIn, GitHub) for secure sign-in and account registration. When you sign in, we may collect:

• Your account name and email address
• Your profile image (if enabled by you)

This data is used solely to authenticate your session and identify your comments or activity on the site. We do not share or sell this data.

 

Comments

When you leave comments:

• We collect the comment text and metadata (timestamp, IP address, browser user agent).
• Your Google display name and profile image (if available) are shown alongside your comment.

Comments may be checked by an automated spam detection service.

 

Media

If you upload images to the website (e.g., via comments or contributions), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors may download and extract any such location data.

 

Cookies

DayOne.dev uses cookies to:

• Maintain login sessions
• Track comment moderation preferences
• Improve site performance and analytics

You can disable cookies via your browser settings, but some features may stop working.

 

Embedded content from other websites

Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, GitHub links, code snippets). Embedded content from third-party websites behaves exactly as if you visited them directly. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with embedded content—especially if you’re logged into that third-party site.

 

Who we share your data with

• We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers.
• Your login and comment data is only shared with trusted third-party plugins (e.g., Akismet for spam filtering, Social OAuth for authentication) as necessary for site functionality.

 

How long we retain your data

• Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely to support discussion continuity.
• OAuth login records are stored until you request deletion.
• Anonymous cookies expire automatically after 30–90 days.

 

What rights you have over your data

• If you have registered via Social OAuth or left comments, you can request:
• A copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Deletion of your data (excluding data we are required to retain for security or legal reasons)
