Privacy

Nothing on this site is measured. A few small things stay in your own browser, and the only thing that ever leaves it is a bug report you choose to send.

This page is about this website. What Kotoba the program sends, and to whom, is a different question with its own page: What leaves your machine.

This site

There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking pixels, and no cookies.

The site keeps one preference in your browser's local storage: whether you chose day or night. For as long as the tab is open it also remembers three small things — how far down each page you had scrolled, so going back puts you where you were; that you have already seen the garden draw itself, so it does not do it again on every page; and any bug report you started writing but have not sent, so that leaving the page does not throw it away. None of it ever leaves your browser, and clearing site data removes all of it.

Fonts are served from this site, not from a font network, so opening a page does not tell a third party you were here.

Search runs inside your browser, against an index that is downloaded with the page. What you type into it is not sent anywhere.

Like any website, the server that delivers these pages sees the address it is delivering them to and the page that was asked for. Nothing is built on top of that.

Reporting a bug

The reports page offers two ways to send one, and they are different.

Opening a GitHub issue sends nothing here: the button hands your text to GitHub, in your own browser, and what happens to it there is GitHub's business and yours.

Sending it by email is the one place on this site where something you typed is transmitted. The report goes to this site's server, which passes it to Resend, the service that delivers the mail, and it arrives in the maintainer's inbox. The email address field is optional: give it and it becomes the reply-to so you can be answered, leave it empty and there is no way to write back to you. Your address is stored in whatever your mail leaves behind — an inbox, not a database, because this site has none. Nothing else about you is attached, and the report is not kept on the server after it is sent.

The site links to GitHub and to rodhnin.com. Each has its own privacy terms, and following a link is where this page stops applying.
