Privacy

Grain Stone 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.

Leaving This Site

Outbound links appear throughout the guides. What happens after that point is between the reader and whoever operates that site.

Hosting and Server Requests

Serving a page necessarily involves a server receiving a request. Like any web host it processes the technical request data needed to deliver a page, including the requesting address, and retains it briefly for security and operational purposes. That processing sits with the host and is common to essentially all web hosting.

No Forms or Accounts

The site takes no submissions of any kind. There is no mechanism through which a reader could submit personal information even deliberately.

No Analytics

The pages carry no analytics, no tag manager and no advertising pixel. No page view is recorded against a reader, no identifier is assigned, and no behavioral profile exists to be sold, shared or lost.

Browser Storage

The site sets no cookies and writes nothing to browser storage. There is no state kept between one visit and the next.

Keeping This Accurate

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