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.

Nothing to Submit

The site takes no submissions of any kind. There is no mechanism through which a reader could submit personal information even deliberately.

No Tracking

There is no analytics package on this site. Readership is simply unknown here, which is unusual on the modern web and entirely deliberate.

Links to Other Sites

Where a page links elsewhere, the destination is beyond this site's control. Its own policies govern from the moment the link is followed.

Changes to This Page

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.

Hosting and Server Requests

Serving a page necessarily involves a server receiving a request. Like any web host it processes the technical request data needed to deliver a page, including the requesting address, and retains it briefly for security and operational purposes. That processing sits with the host and is common to essentially all web hosting.

Browser Storage

Browser storage is not used at all, cookies included. A reader arrives, reads a document, and leaves nothing behind.
