Privacy

This page is short because the answer is short. Four things on this site collect anything at all, and the table below is the whole story. What each one takes, where it goes, how long it stays, and how to get it removed.

Nothing is sold. There’s no ad network, no third-party tracking, and no mailing list. Your email address is used to write back to you and for nothing else.

The detail behind two of those rows. The contact form uses your IP address transiently, for rate limiting and the bot check, and does not store it or put it in the email. The assistant’s log keeps a salted one-way hash of your IP, enough to recognize one abuser across a session and not enough to turn back into a person. Its 180-day deletion is enforced in code, not by calendar reminder.

Third parties that touch data in the table, with their own policies: Vercel hosts the site and runs the analytics, Cloudflare runs the bot check, and OpenRouter routes assistant questions to Google — or, when the primary model is unavailable, to Alibaba — to generate answers. The assistant’s review log itself lives on my own hardware, not with any of them. Vercel, as any host would, also keeps standard server request logs.

To ask for deletion, or to ask anything this page doesn’t answer, use the contact form. It reaches me directly.
