 # How will this data be collected?
 I will be using Matomo Analytics, which I host myself at [https://analytics.janishutz.com](https://analytics.janishutz.com). It is configured in the most privacy respecting way possible:
-- S
+- Your IP is anonymized to the format of e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx (where xxx is hidden)
+- Data will be aggregated within 24 hours and raw data is deleted right there after (within about 1h)
+- I am using image-based tracking instead of JavaScript-based
+- Your country of origin is estimated based on your IP address
 
-TODO: Add exact config here
+This will not allow me to uniquely identify you, but rather see from which countries people visit my websites and how people on average interact with it. This data is not tied to your janishutz.com ID if you sign up. To be precise, [id.janishutz.com](https://id.janishutz.com) doesn't collect *any* data on your interaction.
 
 # What happens with your data?
 None of the data will allow me to uniquely identify you! I am not interested to know what an individual user does, but how the average user interacts with my website. None of the collected data will ***EVER*** be sold or handed over to anybody and is only accessible to me. This is the reason to why I do not use Google Analytics or anything similar, because my user's privacy is my foremost concern when developing software. This is why my support system does not require you to sign up. You can get priority support once my store is up and running if you own a product that includes it when logging in.
 
 # Opting out of this data collection
-You will have the option to disable the data collection by scrolling all the way down and unchecking "Allow P3A" in the bottom left corner. I would though strongly encourage you to leave this enabled to help me optimize my services and focus on the most important aspects instead of wasting time and resources on features barely anybody uses.

+# Updates to my privacy policy
+You can see my revised privacy policy [here](https://janishutz.com/legal/privacy) and my old one [here](https://janishutz.com/legal/privacy/v1). The change involves a clarification that my mobile apps ***DO NOT*** collect any data on their usage and the addition that some of my services may use P3A. Be aware that the nature of data collection in my apps may change in the future, but will always use P3A, as I personally hate apps and websites that steal your data.

+I haven't written any blog posts in over a month. This is because I have taken some time off from coding to focus on my finals exams and to prepare for my studies, which, if everything goes according to plan, should start this September. 
+
+But there are also some coding projects which I have been working on over the last two months.
+
+
+## ConductorCalc
+I have previously mentioned that I was working on a project that is cross-platform and will be available on all major OSes. The name is now almost certain. It will be a software for calculating various values when building high voltage lines. I expect a release by the end of October 2024, as there is still much to do.
+
+
+## id.janishutz.com
+To allow for easy-to-use (for me at least) account setups, I have decided to create a single sign on service myself that can be integrated into all of my online services. 
+
+## store.janishutz.com
+Since I also want and need to start making money off of developing software, I will be launching my web-store most likely by the end of July where I will be selling access to new and upcoming software, like ConductorCalc.
+
+## impress.js
+impress.js is a project I have been contributing to occasionally for the past 1.5 years. I am currently working on a massive update, that will essentially be a full rewrite, which will make impress.js more flexible, but will ditch support for old browsers like IE.
+
+## impress.js graphical editor
+Since there are not really any mature graphical impress.js presentation editors out there, I will be creating my own, starting from scratch, directly with impress.js V3 and its changes in mind. This software will be paid though, and I am not planning on open-sourcing any of its components other than the plugins I wrote for and the changes I made to impress.js.
+
+
+Next to all of those projects, I will be working on general improvements to my websites and I will be adding Privacy Preserving Product Analytics to my websites. If you are interested, you can read up on this [here](/posts/2024/04/analytics)
