## Who processes the data

UNIVERSE DESIGN studio. Data controller — sole proprietor D. V. Khotsinskiy,
registered in Russia.
Address: 127015, Moscow, Bolshaya Novodmitrovskaya St. 23, Russia.

For any question about data, reach either of us:

**Yuriy Khotsinskiy** — [@yurahoc](https://t.me/yurahoc), +7 926 824 0607,

## What is collected

The site has no forms: no name, phone or email is requested and there are no user
accounts. Only anonymous visit statistics are gathered through Yandex.Metrica:
IP address, browser type and language, operating system, screen resolution, page
address and referrer, time and duration of the visit, cursor movement, clicks
and scrolling.

## Session recordings

Session Replay is enabled — it records how a visitor moves through a page.
Recordings are stored by Yandex and used only to find interface problems.
The site has no input fields, so no typed text is ever captured.

## Why

To understand which works people look at, where visitors come from and what gets
in their way. The data is not used for advertising and is not matched against
individual people.

## Who else receives it

- Yandex LLC as the statistics provider: <https://yandex.com/legal/confidential/>
- GitHub (GitHub Pages hosting) — requests appear in service logs:
  <https://docs.github.com/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement>

Nobody else. The data is not sold.

## What the site stores in your browser

Three technical entries, no personal data, never sent anywhere:

- `cube_session_started` — plays the cube intro once per visit
- `force_chaotic_cube` — which state the cube starts in
- `justLeftIndex` — whether to open the menu when returning from a section

If storage is blocked, the site keeps working.

## How to opt out

The Yandex.Metrica opt-out extension
(<https://yandex.com/support/metrica/general/opt-out.html>), "Do Not Track" in your
browser, or blocking third-party cookies. The site stays fully functional.

## Your rights

Request what data exists, ask for deletion, or withdraw consent — email
y.khotsinskiy@universe-design.com or d.khotsinskiy@universe-design.com.
We answer within 30 days.
