What we collect, why we collect it, who else gets to see it, and the controls you have over all of it. Written by a human, not a template — and short enough to actually read.
The six points below cover roughly 90% of what people want to know about a privacy policy. The full text is underneath — it doesn't contradict this summary, it just adds the precision a policy needs to be useful.
We collect the smallest amount of information needed to run the site, keep accounts secure, and improve what we publish. There are four buckets, and that's it.
We do not collect government IDs, biometric data, precise GPS location, or contents of your communications outside the site. We do not buy personal data from data brokers. We do not run third-party ad-targeting pixels (Meta, TikTok, or Google Ads).
Every piece of data we collect maps to a concrete operational purpose. We don't keep “just in case” data, and we don't repurpose what was collected for one reason into something else without telling you.
We grant the rights below to every visitor, regardless of whether you live in a jurisdiction that legally requires it. If you're in the EU, UK, California, Colorado, Virginia, or anywhere else with a comprehensive privacy law, the law still applies on top.
Security isn't a section of a policy — it's the day job. We use industry-standard controls and a few non-standard ones, and we keep them current. Here's what's in place at the time of this update.
bcrypt hashes with a per-user salt — never reversible, never logged.We retain personal data only as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected, then we delete or anonymize it. Defaults are below; you can request earlier deletion at any time.
When we update this policy we'll change the “Last updated” date at the top and post the new version here. For material changes — anything that expands what we collect, who we share it with, or how long we keep it — we'll call out the change clearly so you have time to review it and, if you'd prefer, close your account before the new version takes effect.
