Privacy

Version 2025.1, as published on 12th May, 2025.

We exist to protect your privacy.

Our privacy policy is simple (and will stay that way).

In general

We do not track you. We try our best to minimise the data we gather. We use self-hosted free and open tools whenever possible and we do not share your data with third parties.

Privacy is a fundamental human right that your other rights depend on. We exist to create small technology that protects your human rights. So, in a nutshell, our privacy policy is that we exist to protect your privacy.

Videos

MP4 formatted videos are hosted on Vimeo and played back using a simple pure HTML5 video player so as to avoid Vimeo’s analytics in their hosted video player.

Analytics

Our site is built using and runs on Kitten. The only statistics Kitten gathers are ephemeral aggregate counts of pages visited on the site. We glance at this information on occasion to see if there are any broken pages and to get a feeling for which pages are most popular.

Stripe

We use Stripe to accept payments. We do not store any of your payment-related information, including your email address. If you become a patron, you get your own patronage page at a unique address where you can update, pause, and cancel your patronage all without us storing any of your data ourselves. The data held by Stripe to process your donations and patronages is covered by Stripe’s Privacy Policy.
