Privacy

Grain Hinge Notes collects no personal information from readers. That is a description of how the site is built rather than a policy commitment, and the sections below explain what it means in practice.

Nothing Is Stored

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

Changes to This Page

If the site ever changes in a way that affects this description, the description changes with it. Should a feature ever be added that handles data differently, this text is revised at the same time.

External Links

Where a page links elsewhere, the destination is beyond this site's control. Once a reader follows one of those links they are on a site with its own practices, and nothing described here applies to it.

No Analytics

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.

No Forms or Accounts

There is no form, no comment box, no newsletter signup and no account. There is no mechanism through which a reader could submit personal information even deliberately.

Hosting and Server Requests

Pages are served by a commercial hosting provider. 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.
