Privacy Policy

We practice what we teach.

This is a privacy education site. It would be hypocritical to track you while teaching you how to avoid being tracked.


The Short Version

  • We don’t collect your data
  • We don’t track you
  • We don’t know who you are
  • We don’t want to know

What We Don’t Collect

No Analytics Tracking

  • No Google Analytics
  • No Facebook Pixel
  • No third-party tracking scripts
  • No fingerprinting

No Tracking Cookies

  • No tracking cookies
  • No “essential” cookies that aren’t essential
  • No third-party cookie nonsense

Note: If you authenticate with your DID (optional), a session cookie may be used to maintain your login. This is user-initiated, not tracking—and you can clear it anytime.

No Personal Data

  • No registration required
  • No email collection to access content
  • No “sign up for updates” popups
  • No data harvesting of any kind

No Third-Party Requests

  • No external fonts (self-hosted or system fonts)
  • No CDN dependencies that log requests
  • Minimal external resources
  • What loads stays between you and Cloudflare

What We Do Use

Cloudflare Pages Hosting

Our site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may collect:

  • Basic server logs (IP addresses, timestamps)
  • DDoS protection data

We don’t access or analyze this data. See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy for their practices.

IPFS for Document Hosting

Foundational documents are available via IPFS. When you fetch from IPFS:

  • Your request goes to IPFS nodes, not us
  • We can’t see who accesses IPFS-hosted content
  • Content is verified by cryptographic hash, not by trusting us

Authentication (Coming Soon)

We’re building DID-based authentication for optional features like course completion credentials.

How DID Auth Works

  • No usernames or passwords - You authenticate with your cryptographic keys
  • No email required - Your DID is your identity
  • No central database - We verify signatures, not stored credentials
  • You control your identity - We can’t revoke, modify, or track it

What This Means

When you authenticate:

  • You prove you control a DID (cryptographic signature)
  • We verify the signature
  • We issue a Verifiable Credential to your DID
  • We don’t store your personal information

Your identity, your keys, your control.


Contact & Donations

If You Contact Us

  • SimpleX: End-to-end encrypted, no user IDs, we can’t identify you
  • Email: We see your email address, encrypted if you use GPG
  • We don’t keep logs of conversations unless you ask us to

If You Donate

  • Monero: Completely private - we literally can’t know who donated
  • Bitcoin: Pseudonymous - we see a wallet address, not your identity
  • No donor tracking - We don’t maintain donor lists or send receipts unless requested

Data We Could Theoretically Access

Let’s be transparent about what’s technically possible:

DataCan We Access?Do We?
Cloudflare server logsTheoreticallyNo
Your IP addressVia CloudflareNo
Your browser/deviceNoNo
Your locationNoNo
Your identityNoNo
Your learning progressNoNo
Which lessons you readNoNo

We’ve architected the site to minimize what we could know, not just what we choose to know.


Your Rights

Since we don’t collect data, there’s nothing to:

  • Request access to
  • Request deletion of
  • Request correction of
  • Opt out of

The best privacy policy is not collecting data in the first place.


Children’s Privacy

We don’t knowingly collect data from anyone, including children. Since we collect no data, COPPA compliance is inherent.


Changes to This Policy

If our practices change, we’ll update this page. Major changes will be noted with dates.

We will never:

  • Add tracking without prominent disclosure
  • Sell or share data (we have none to sell)
  • Require personal information to access free content
