Privacy
Short version: this site collects nothing about you, and intends to keep it that way.
No accounts, no comments, no newsletter, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking pixels, and no cookies. The fonts are hosted here, so reading an essay calls no third party beyond the counter mentioned below. What you read stays between you and your browser.
The three exceptions
View counts and ratings. Each post shows a view count and a three-star rating. These are anonymous tallies kept by CounterAPI, a third-party counting service. When a post page loads, your browser makes a request to that service, which — like any server on the internet — can see your IP address. It receives no name, no identifier, nothing else; this site never sees your IP at all. If you rate a post, your browser remembers locally that you voted (so you can't vote twice); that memory never leaves your device.
Translation. Posts offer an optional translation button powered by Google Translate. Nothing loads from Google unless you click it. If you do, Google serves the translation and Google's own privacy policy applies to that request.
Portfolio charts. The two charts on the portfolio page are live images served from Google Sheets. Viewing that page — and only that page — makes your browser request them from Google, which sees your IP address as any image host would. The rest of the site makes no Google requests at all.
Server logs
The server that delivers these pages keeps routine technical logs (IP address, page requested, time), as effectively every web server does — used only to keep the site running and fended from abuse, then rotated away. They're never used to identify readers, and never shared.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have rights over personal data an organisation holds about you. This site holds none, so there's nothing to request, correct, or delete — but if you believe otherwise, or have any question about this page, write to crumb.lanky_7h@icloud.com. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, though we'd be surprised if it came to that.
