# FreeOxide privacy policy

> What freeoxide.com collects, what it doesn't, and who else is involved in serving it. Short version: no accounts, no analytics, no tracking cookies.

## The short version

No accounts, no analytics, no tracking cookies, no ad scripts. There's no database of visitors because there's no database.

freeoxide.com is a pile of static files. Every page is built ahead of time and served from a CDN. Nothing here logs you in, takes a comment, or asks for your details, so under normal use the site has nothing about you to store.

## What is stored on your device

- **freeoxide:theme**: One localStorage entry holding your display settings: colour flavour, monospace font, and whether the CRT scanlines and flicker are switched on. It gets written when you change something in the tweaks panel, it never leaves your browser, and clearing site data wipes it.

The site sets no cookies. Nothing on the page reads an advertising ID, fingerprints your browser, or records what you click.

## Third parties involved in serving the site

- **Cloudflare Pages**: Hosts the files and delivers them. Like any host, Cloudflare handles what a request needs in order to be served and defended: IP address, user agent, URL, timestamp. That falls under Cloudflare's own privacy terms, and none of it gets piped into an analytics product by me.
- **Google Fonts**: The pages pull JetBrains Mono and IBM Plex Mono from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com, so Google sees your IP address and user agent when the fonts load. If you'd rather it didn't, the site reads fine with fonts blocked, and the tweaks panel will switch you to your system monospace.
- **GitHub**: The activity log is assembled from the GitHub API when the site is built, not in your browser. Visiting /activity sends GitHub nothing. Clicking through to a repo does, under their policy.

## Your data, and changes to this page

- I don't collect, sell, share or profile personal data on this site.
- If you email me, I keep the mail for as long as it takes to answer you and any follow-up. Ask and I'll delete it.
- Privacy questions, and deletion requests for correspondence, go to hmziqrs@gmail.com.
- The site isn't aimed at children and asks nobody for personal information.
- If this policy changes, the new version goes up on this page. The source is public, so the change shows up in git history rather than as an announcement.
