Who is responsible
This privacy policy covers tobscore.com, which is run by the TobsCore editors, the party responsible for the processing described here. Questions about privacy and requests under the rights listed below go to [email protected].
What the site does not collect
The pages set no cookies. There is no analytics software, no visitor counter, no advertising and no tracking pixel. Nothing is embedded from other servers: no videos, maps, social media buttons, comment systems or external scripts. The fonts are stored on the same server as the pages, so loading a page does not send your IP address to a font service.
The browser tools
Four small programs on the site run in your browser: the IEEE 754 converter, the byte order converter, the SSH config generator in the SSH config alias guide and the Vim trainer. They calculate everything locally, and nothing you type, click or press in them is sent to the server or to anyone else.
The Vim trainer may keep your best score in localStorage for your next visit. The value stays on your device; you can remove it at any time by clearing the stored data for this site in your browser settings.
Server logs
When your browser requests a page, image or file, the web server writes a log entry. It contains:
| field | example |
|---|---|
| IP address | 203.0.113.10 |
| date and time of the request | 05/Nov/2026:14:02:11 +0000 |
| requested URL and HTTP status | GET /privacy/ · 200 |
| user agent (browser and operating system as reported by the browser) | Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_ |
| referrer (the page that linked here, if the browser sends it) | https://example.com/notes |
These entries are needed to deliver the site safely: to detect attacks and abuse, and to find errors such as missing files or failing requests. The legal basis is the legitimate interest in a secure and working website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
The pages are delivered through Cloudflare, a content delivery network that handles the same connection data on the way to the server in order to deliver the site and filter attacks.
Log entries are kept only as long as they are needed for these purposes and are then deleted. While they exist, they are not combined with other data and not passed on, unless a specific attack makes it necessary to report it to the competent authorities.
If you write to [email protected], the message is stored with your e-mail address, the name your mail program sends along, the date and anything you include in the text or attachments. It is used only to answer you and, for error reports, to correct the page concerned. The legal basis is the legitimate interest in answering inquiries and keeping published content correct (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Messages are not added to a mailing list or passed on to third parties. They are kept as long as the inquiry is open and deleted once it is settled, unless you ask for earlier deletion.
Your rights
Under the General Data Protection Regulation you have the right to:
- access the personal data stored about you (Art. 15),
- rectification of incorrect data (Art. 16),
- erasure (Art. 17) and restriction of processing (Art. 18),
- object to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21),
- lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the EU member state where you live or work (Art. 77).
A short e-mail to [email protected] is enough to exercise any of these rights. For log entries, the request needs the IP address and the approximate time of the visit, since the logs contain no names.
External links
Some guides link to outside sites such as vim.org, wordpress.org, github.com or en.wikipedia.org. Nothing is loaded from those sites until you click a link. After that, the destination's own privacy policy applies. The server tells browsers to send such a site at most the origin https://tobscore.com as the referrer, not the address of the page you came from, and nothing at all when the link leads to a plain http:// address.
