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. A privacy page that has drifted from the site it describes is worse than none, so this one is kept in step.

Nothing Is Measured

The pages carry no analytics, no tag manager and no advertising pixel. Nothing measures who visits or what they read.

No Forms or Accounts

There is no form, no comment box, no newsletter signup and no account. The pages are documents to be read, and nothing more interactive than that.

Links to Other Sites

Following a link takes a reader somewhere this site does not run. What happens after that point is between the reader and whoever operates that site.

Hosting and Server Requests

The site is delivered through a hosting provider whose infrastructure sees each request. Technical details such as the requesting network address are kept for a short period for abuse prevention. This is a function of the hosting layer rather than something the site controls or has access to.
