Privacy

A short and specific account of what happens when you load a page here: what the server writes down, which third parties see a request, what the site stores in your browser, and how long any of it lasts.

The short version

This site has no accounts, no login, no comment section, no newsletter and no shopping basket, so there is nothing here that collects your name. The web server keeps ordinary access logs, three third-party services see a request when a page loads because the page asks your browser to fetch files from them, and one email address exists for correspondence. That is the entire footprint.

Server logs

Like almost every web server, the host records a line for each request: the IP address it came from, the time, the page requested, the response code, the referring page if the browser sent one, and the browser's user agent string. These logs exist for operational reasons, principally diagnosing errors and identifying abusive traffic, and they are not used to build a profile of anybody.

Log data is retained only as long as it is operationally useful, which is a short period measured in weeks rather than years, and it is not sold, shared or combined with anything else.

Cookies and local storage

This site sets no cookies of its own and stores nothing in your browser's local storage. There is no analytics script, no tag manager, no advertising pixel, no session identifier and no consent banner, because there is nothing to consent to. If you inspect the storage for this domain after reading every page, you should find it empty.

Third parties that see a request

Three external services are used to deliver files, which means your browser makes a request to each of them and each therefore sees your IP address and user agent in the ordinary course of serving a file.

External requests made by a page on this site
ServiceWhat it providesWhat it necessarily sees
jsDelivrThe Bootstrap stylesheet, icon font and scriptIP address, user agent, which file was requested
Google FontsThe three typefaces used across the siteIP address, user agent, which font files were requested
The web hostEvery page and image on this domainEverything described under server logs above

None of those services receives anything from this site beyond the request your browser makes for the file. No identifier is attached, because there is no identifier. Each of them has its own policy governing what it does with request data, which is outside this site's control.

Outbound links

Pages here link to documentation, block explorers and one commercial console. Following any link takes you to a site with its own policies and its own tracking, over which this site has no influence and no visibility. This site does not add tracking parameters to outbound links, does not route them through a redirector and does not receive a report of which links were followed.

Email

Writing to [email protected] means your message and your email address arrive in a mailbox. Correspondence is kept while it is useful, meaning until a question is answered or a correction is made, and is then deleted. It is not added to a mailing list, because there is no mailing list, and it is not shared with anyone.

Never send key material to that address or to any other. Messages containing what looks like a seed phrase or a private key are deleted without being read, and there is no question whose answer requires one.

Children

This site is written for adults and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone, of any age, because it has no mechanism for collecting information beyond the server logs described above.

Your requests

Because nothing here identifies you, there is generally nothing to retrieve, correct or delete on request. The exception is email correspondence, where you can ask for a message to be deleted and it will be. Write to the address above and say so.

Changes to this page

If the site starts doing something it does not currently do, such as adding analytics, this page changes first and describes it plainly. There is no version history published here; the page always describes what the site does today, which is the only thing a reader can act on.
