Privacy

Back Porch Joint Notes has no way to identify a reader, and the sections below explain why that is a matter of construction rather than of policy.

No Sign-In

Nothing on the site accepts input. The pages are documents to be read, and nothing more interactive than that.

Hosting and Server Requests

Serving a page necessarily involves a server receiving a request. Any web server sees the technical particulars of a request in order to answer it, and the provider retains those records briefly. Nothing from that layer is passed to the site or used to identify a reader.

Nothing Is Stored

Nothing is written to the device a reader arrives on. There is no state kept between one visit and the next.

Nothing Is Measured

Nothing on these pages reports a visit to anybody. There is no measurement layer, so there is no record of an individual reader to protect in the first place.

Links to Other Sites

Where a page links elsewhere, the destination is beyond this site's control. Its own policies govern from the moment the link is followed.

Changes to This Page

The account given here tracks the actual construction of the site. It is written to reflect the site as it stands, not as an aspiration.
