Privacy

Bench Surface Almanac collects no personal information from readers. That is a description of how the site is built rather than a policy commitment, and the sections below explain what it means in practice.

Links to Other Sites

Outbound links appear throughout the guides. Its own policies govern from the moment the link is followed.

No Analytics

No tracking script of any kind is loaded. Readership is simply unknown here, which is unusual on the modern web and entirely deliberate.

Keeping This Accurate

This page is maintained alongside the site itself. Should a feature ever be added that handles data differently, this text is revised at the same time.

The Hosting Layer

Serving a page necessarily involves a server receiving a request. Technical details such as the requesting network address are kept for a short period for abuse prevention. This is a function of the hosting layer rather than something the site controls or has access to.

No Forms or Accounts

There is no form, no comment box, no newsletter signup and no account. The pages are documents to be read, and nothing more interactive than that.

Browser Storage

Nothing is written to the device a reader arrives on. A reader arrives, reads a document, and leaves nothing behind.
