Privacy

The short version: no accounts, no ads, no cross-site tracking, and no data we don't plainly need. Here is everything this site touches, in full.

analytics and the waitlist

Analytics is cookieless and the dashboard is public — this site sets no cookies of its own and does not track you across the web. If you join the waitlist we store your email address and the page you signed up from, nothing else, and we use it only to send the weekly email. Ask us to delete it and we will.

upvoting

Upvoting works without an account. The first time you vote, this site sets one functional cookie holding a random anonymous identifier - that is how one person stays one vote per use case. It contains no name, no email, and nothing taken from your device, and it is never used for advertising or cross-site tracking. Clear it whenever you like.

To keep voting fair, every vote is written to an append-only ledger together with salted, one-way hashes of your network address and browser signature - the raw values are never stored. Those hashes exist only to catch ballot-stuffing, and the ledger cannot be edited after the fact, by us included.

Voting is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, an invisible check that tells humans from bots without showing you a puzzle. When it runs, Cloudflare processes limited information about your browser and network to make that call. How Cloudflare handles that data is described in the Cloudflare Turnstile Privacy Addendum, which applies to this site's use of the widget.

embedded posts and players

Pages that quote a post from X embed it from X, which means X sees the request and may set its own cookies in that embed. We load an embed only as you scroll to it, and we ask X for its do-not-track mode, but we can't speak for what X does. If you'd rather not load them, block platform.twitter.com — the page still works and you'll see our quote of the post instead.

Pages built on a YouTube video embed the player from YouTube, which means Google sees the request and may set its own cookies in that player. We load a player only as you scroll to it, and we ask for reduced tracking by loading it from YouTube's no-cookie host, but we can't speak for what Google does. If you'd rather not load them, block www.youtube-nocookie.com — the page still works, and the video's title, its channel and a link to it are on the page either way.

hosting

The site is served through Cloudflare, which routes every request and therefore sees the traffic any host would - handled under Cloudflare's own privacy policy. We keep standard server logs briefly for security and debugging, and nothing longer.

questions and deletion

Want your waitlist email deleted, or have a question this page doesn't answer? Message @GrokBotDev and it gets handled. If this policy changes in a way that matters, the change lands here first, with the date below updated.
