Privacy

This site holds no personal information about its readers. That is a strict policy, not an accident: there are no accounts, no comments, no sign-ups, no forms and no mailing list.

• The site sets no cookies of its own and uses no analytics or advertising trackers.
• Search runs in your browser, and what you type is not sent to us — except that if JavaScript is switched off, pressing Search reloads the page with your words in its web address.
• We do not collect family photographs, memories or other personal material from readers.

Who runs this site

This site is run by Claire McDonald, an independent web developer in Scotland. You can contact her at [email protected].

Emails

If you email us — to report a mistake or a barrier, say — your message is used only to reply to you. It is not added to any list, shared or kept as a record once the conversation is over.

Hosting

Like almost every website, this site’s hosting provider (Hostinger) and the network that delivers its pages (Cloudflare) automatically keep short-lived technical logs, such as IP addresses, to keep the site running and protect it from attack. Cloudflare may also set a strictly necessary security cookie for the same purpose. These logs are kept by those companies under their own privacy policies; we do not use them to identify or follow anyone.

Questions or concerns
