Privacy

This site gathers nothing about the people who read it. What follows describes the technology in use, not a promise about how data will be handled.

The Hosting Layer

The site is delivered through a hosting provider whose infrastructure sees each request. Any web server sees the technical particulars of a request in order to answer it, and the provider retains those records briefly. Nothing from that layer is passed to the site or used to identify a reader.

No Forms or Accounts

Nothing on the site accepts input. No contact form, no subscription, no login, so no personal detail is ever transmitted.

If the Site Changes

This page is maintained alongside the site itself. A privacy page that has drifted from the site it describes is worse than none, so this one is kept in step.

Leaving This Site

Where a page links elsewhere, the destination is beyond this site's control. Any site reached that way sets its own terms and handles data on its own account.

No Cookies

No cookie is set by this site. A second visit is indistinguishable from a first, because nothing from the first was retained.

No Tracking

There is no analytics package on this site. There is no measurement layer, so there is no record of an individual reader to protect in the first place.
