Privacy Policy

How we handle your data, transparently and honestly

How We Work

We believe privacy should be simple. Here's our approach: we don't collect, send, or store any of your personal data on our servers.

Instead, everything you do on our site—your favorites, pages you've read, your reading list—is stored directly in your browser using something called localStorage. Think of it as a personal notebook that lives on your computer, not in the cloud.

This means:

  • We can't see what you're doing
  • No one can intercept your data in transit
  • You have complete ownership of your information

Local Storage

All your navigation data stays on your device.

Your Control

You have complete control over your data and can delete it anytime.

No Tracking

We don't track you, sell your data, or share it with third parties.

Server-side storage

When a user likes an article, a like request is sent to the server to update the like count. The server records only a non-personally identifying hashed value (e.g., a hashed IP) associated with that article, and no personally identifying information is returned to or shared with the user

What We Store

We only store data that helps you use our site better:

Favorites

Articles or content you've marked as favorites for quick access later.

Read Pages

A history of pages you've visited so we can show you what you've already read.

Read Later List

Articles you've saved to read when you have more time.

That's it. No names, emails or locations. Just the content choices you make on our site.

Your Rights

Since your data is stored locally on your device, you have absolute control:

  • Access: You can view all your stored data anytime through your browser's developer tools
  • Delete: You can clear your data directly from your browser settings or by clearing site data
  • Export: Your data is yours—you can export it whenever you want
  • No consent forms: Since we don't send data anywhere, there are no tracking consents needed

Data Loss

Important: Local Storage is Browser-Specific

Because your data is stored locally in your browser, it will be lost if you:

  • Clear your browser's browsing data or cache
  • Clear site data for our website
  • Use private/incognito browsing mode (data is deleted when you close the window)
  • Uninstall your browser
  • Use a different browser or device

We recommend: If you want to preserve your data, export it periodically or use a device and browser consistently.

What We Don't Do

To be crystal clear about what you won't experience on our site:

Sell Your Data

We don't sell, rent, or lease any information about you.

Share with Third Parties

Your data isn't shared with advertisers, marketers, or analytics companies.

Track Across Sites

We don't follow you around the internet or use cross-site tracking pixels.

Create Advertising Profiles

We don't build detailed profiles about your interests or behaviors.

Send Data to Servers

Nothing you do here leaves your device unless you explicitly share it.

Cookies & Tracking

We don't use cookies or any form of tracking technology. No Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, and no third-party trackers.

The only data stored locally is what you explicitly create by using our site (your favorites, reading history, etc.). There are no hidden trackers or analytics collecting data about your behavior.
