Owner and purpose

The website owner and personal data operator for the processing described here is Gleb Yuryevich Rumyantsev, known creatively as Mic Kedi, a private individual in Russia. For privacy questions and rights requests, email mail@mickedi.com.

mickedi.com is a personal, non-commercial photoblog and publication archive. Its public pages have no visitor registration or sign-in, contact forms, file uploads, subscriptions or payments. New comments, pingbacks and trackbacks are disabled. Earlier comments may remain in the website database.

Information processed

Website requests involve processing the IP address, date and time, requested resource, response status, and browser and connection details. The local web server also maintains access and error logs. The browser stores technical settings and analytics records described in Cookies and technical data.

Retained comment records may contain the name, email address, text, date and time supplied when posted, together with WordPress technical fields, including the IP address and browser details. This is limited to what remains in the record; new comments are not collected.

When considering a privacy request, the information used includes the name and reply contact supplied, details needed to locate the record and the request itself. Do not send passwords, unnecessary documents or sensitive information; identity confirmation is requested only to the extent necessary.

Purposes and legal grounds

Technical information and settings are needed to deliver pages, remember the language, maintain security and investigate errors. Necessary and proportionate technical processing relies on Article 6(1)(7) of Russian Federal Law No. 152-FZ On Personal Data: exercising rights and legitimate interests while respecting visitors’ rights and freedoms.

Responses to statutory requests and the handling of requests for correction, ending processing or deletion fulfil the operator’s duties under Article 6(1)(2) of Law No. 152-FZ. The need to retain comments is assessed in light of their purpose and the authors’ rights; records must be corrected or deleted where there is a legal ground.

Analytics is used to assess visits, traffic sources and page usability. Its legal ground is determined separately from technical processing, taking account of Articles 6 and 9 of Law No. 152-FZ. Where processing requires consent, it must be separate, specific, informed and unambiguous. This policy is not in itself such consent.

Yandex Metrica and Session Replay

The website uses Yandex Metrica tag No. 114138038 with Session Replay and click maps. The recipient is YANDEX LLC, 16 Lva Tolstogo Street, Moscow, Russia. Information is transmitted from the visitor’s device to Yandex’s infrastructure when the tag operates.

The tag receives the full page URL, including parameters, the referring address, browser and device details, IP address, time and visit events. Pseudonymous identifiers in cookies and browser storage distinguish browsers and visits. These identifiers do not automatically make processing anonymous.

Session Replay records the HTML content of the displayed page and interactions with it, including pointer movements, clicks and scrolling, to reconstruct visits and identify usability issues. Information about the service and data processing is available in Metrica help, the service terms and Yandex privacy policy. Provider rules do not remove the website owner’s duties.

Search tools

Yandex Webmaster and Google Search Console are used to monitor indexing and review search reports on impressions, queries and clicks. These are owner tools: using them does not in itself install a separate tag in a visitor’s browser. Search services access pages available to them and produce reports from their own data.

Retention and security

Local web-server access and error logs are retained for no more than 30 calendar days after recording. This period applies specifically to local web-server logs; it does not set retention periods for Yandex, search services, browser records or backup archives of other systems.

The website’s own web server and database are located in Russia. Access to its own systems is restricted to the owner. Protected connections, account safeguards and data-access restrictions are used. Information is not sold. Disclosure to authorised authorities requires a legal ground and is limited to what is necessary.

The lifetimes of browser records and retention of Session Replay recordings are described in Cookies and technical data. Information must not be kept longer than necessary for a lawful purpose. When that purpose is fulfilled or the legal ground ends, the deletion and destruction requirements of Article 21 of Law No. 152-FZ apply.

Your rights and requests

You may obtain information about processing of your data, request correction, blocking or deletion where there are grounds, ask for processing to end and withdraw consent given. Email mail@mickedi.com with the request and details needed to locate the data. For a photograph, include the publication URL and identify the image; for a technical record, give the approximate date and time of the visit.

A passport copy is not required by default. Where identity or a representative’s authority needs confirmation, only proportionate details are requested. A formal information request under Article 14 of Law No. 152-FZ must meet that article’s requirements, including the signature requirements for an electronic request.

Information requested under Article 14 is provided within 10 working days. An extension of up to 5 working days is accompanied by a notice explaining the reason. Correction, ending processing and deletion follow the applicable time limits in Articles 20 and 21. You may seek protection of your rights from Roskomnadzor or a court.

Current revision

This policy is updated when the processing described here changes. A new revision does not automatically extend consent previously given. Related documents: Cookies and technical data and Terms of use.

Technical and analytics records

Cookies are records sent by the browser with requests to the relevant domain. localStorage and sessionStorage remain on the device and are not automatically sent with every request, but page code can read them. Technical records remember website settings; Yandex Metrica uses analytics records for statistics and interaction analysis.

Website settings

These records are shared between the Russian and English versions and do not contain a name, email address or phone number. A record of dismissing the notice is not a record of analytics consent.

Yandex Metrica and Session Replay

Tag No. 114138038 uses cookies and browser identifiers to distinguish visits and analyse actions. Technical details, the full page address and the referring address are transmitted to Yandex. Session Replay also records HTML content and interactions with the displayed page. The recipient is YANDEX LLC, 16 Lva Tolstogo Street, Moscow, Russia.

Yandex documentation gives a standard lifetime of 1 year for _ym_uid, which distinguishes visitors; 20 hours for _ym_isad, which detects ad blockers; and 30 minutes for Session Replay’s _ym_visorc_*. Metrica also uses localStorage; the set depends on features and browser conditions. Names, purposes and lifetimes are listed in the official documentation.

Cookies and analytics reports have different retention periods. Session Replay recordings are retained for 15 days, including the current day, under the service rules. This period does not apply to all other Yandex Metrica reports. Provider processing rules are set out in the Yandex privacy policy.

The notice and its “Okay” button

The notice explains that cookies are used. “Okay” dismisses it and records that fact in the browser. The notice, its dismissal and continued browsing are not separate consent to analytics or Session Replay and do not replace the legal ground required for processing.

Browser controls

You can inspect, restrict or delete mickedi.com cookies and other records in browser settings. After removing the language cookie, browser preferences may determine the language again; deleting the notice record makes the notice appear again. To do this, remove mickedi-cookie-notice-v1 from localStorage and, if present, the mickedi_cookie_notice cookie. Settings apply separately on each device.

To opt out of statistics collection, you can use the Yandex Metrica opt-out extension. This browser extension blocks Metrica cookies and restricts data transmission to the service.

Blocking cookies does not guarantee that all analytics-code requests stop. Deleting browser data does not delete existing server records or data held by the provider. For processing, correction or deletion requests concerning your data, email mail@mickedi.com.

Local web-server logs

Local web-server access and error logs contain technical request information and are retained for no more than 30 calendar days after recording. Deleting cookies does not affect this period. It does not set retention periods for Yandex, search services or backup archives of other systems. See the Privacy policy.

Administrative access and external resources

WordPress uses separate cookies for the owner’s administrative sign-in, session and settings. This is not visitor registration for the archive. Telegram, VK, Instagram and other external resources apply their own rules when you visit them; their records are distinct from mickedi.com records.

About this website

mickedi.com is Mic Kedi’s personal, non-commercial photoblog and archive. Its owner is Gleb Yuryevich Rumyantsev, a private individual in Russia. Public pages are intended for viewing photographs and texts; this is not an online shop or a service-booking platform.

Browsing does not create an obligation to pay or enter into a contract. Public pages have no visitor registration or sign-in, contact forms, file uploads, subscriptions or payments. New comments, pingbacks and trackbacks are disabled.

Authorship and use of materials

Rights in photographs, texts and other materials belong to their respective authors and rights holders. Individual photographs may have authorship details in the publication; inclusion in the archive does not mean that the website owner created the material.

Copying, republishing, adapting or commercially using copyrighted photographs requires permission from the relevant author or rights holder. A website link or credit alone does not replace permission. Uses expressly permitted by law remain applicable.

To discuss use, email mail@mickedi.com identifying the photograph, where it will appear and the intended use. If another author holds the rights, permission must come from the relevant rights holder.

Images of people and rights enquiries

Copyright in a photograph and a person’s right to their image are separate matters. Publication and further use of a person’s image are subject to Article 152.1 of the Russian Civil Code: the person’s consent or an applicable statutory exception. Being the photographer does not in itself replace that ground.

If you appear in an image, represent a child or another person, or believe a publication infringes your rights, email mail@mickedi.com. Include the URL, identify the photograph, explain your connection to it and state the requested action: correcting a caption, limiting use, removing the image or considering another issue.

A passport copy is not needed for an initial enquiry. Where necessary, the owner will request proportionate details to confirm identity or a representative’s authority and consider the circumstances of the individual image.

Acceptable use

Attempts to gain unauthorised access, interfere with the website, bypass restrictions or infringe others’ rights are not permitted. Availability depends on connections and equipment, and materials may be updated. These terms do not limit any liability or rights that cannot lawfully be limited.

External links and contact details

Telegram, VK, Instagram and email links open an external service or email application; correspondence does not take place inside the website. External resources have their own terms. Questions about website use, materials and rights can be sent to mail@mickedi.com.
