Back Porch Sill Field Guide

Privacy

This site gathers nothing about the people who read it. What follows describes the technology in use, not a promise about how data will be handled.

Keeping This Accurate

If the site ever changes in a way that affects this description, the description changes with it. It is written to reflect the site as it stands, not as an aspiration.

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.

The Hosting Layer

Delivery is handled by a hosting platform. 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.

No Cookies

Nothing is written to the device a reader arrives on. A second visit is indistinguishable from a first, because nothing from the first was retained.

No Forms or Accounts

The site takes no submissions of any kind. The pages are documents to be read, and nothing more interactive than that.

No Analytics

There is no analytics package on this site. Readership is simply unknown here, which is unusual on the modern web and entirely deliberate.
