Your name, photo and preferences stay in your own browser. Two exceptions, both small. Turn on the weather strip and your browser will ask for your location, used to fetch your forecast and city name, never stored. And we count visits - how many people open the page, and which pages they land on. That is it. No cookies, no profile, no ads.
