Privacy
The short version: no cookies, no personal data, no tracking.
What We Collect
If you use the "Suggest an edit" form, you may optionally provide an email address along with your suggestion. This is stored in our database solely so we can follow up with you about your suggestion if needed. You're never required to provide an email.
That's it. We don't collect names, locations, browsing history, or anything else.
Analytics
We use Plausible Analytics to understand how the site is used. Plausible is privacy-focused — it collects no personal data, uses no cookies, and complies with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR without requiring a consent banner. All data is aggregated and anonymous.
This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which provides its own privacy-friendly analytics (page views, visits, and performance metrics). Cloudflare may also set minimal technical cookies for security and bot-detection. None of this is used for tracking or advertising.
There are no marketing pixels, no social media trackers, and no advertising cookies. We do not use cookies for analytics.
Third Parties
We load fonts from Google Fonts and map tiles from OpenFreeMap. These services may log requests as part of their normal operation, but we do not share any personal data with them.
Art Contributions
If you contribute art to this site, your name and an optional link (to your portfolio, shop, or social media) will be displayed alongside your work and on our contributors page. This is public attribution — only submit a name and link you're comfortable having visible.
