Privacy

We store the links and note you send. Your name and email are optional. We use your email only to ask you about that suggestion, and your name only to credit you if you asked us to. Name and email are deleted 90 days after we have looked into the suggestion.

We store your email address to send the letter. Until you confirm, the address is deleted after 7 days. Unsubscribing, from the link in every email, deletes it at once. We send the letter ourselves and do not use a newsletter service.

The site sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. One small script on each page counts the visit with our own analytics, run on Cloudflare in the EU. It sends the page’s address and title, the site you came from, and your browser’s type, language, time zone and screen size. If your browser asks sites not to track you (Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control), it sends nothing.

To count visitors without identifying you, the analytics service makes a code from your connection’s address and your browser, scrambled with a key that changes every day, so a visit today cannot be linked to one tomorrow. The address itself is not stored. Counted visits are kept for 395 days.

Like any web host, Cloudflare handles your connection’s address to deliver the pages. When you send a form, we keep a scrambled form of that address (a one-way hash) for one day, only to limit how many forms one connection can send in an hour.

Suggestions and subscriber addresses are stored in a database on Cloudflare, and the emails we send go through our own mail service on Cloudflare. Nothing is sold or shared.

You can ask what we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. Write to privacy@thedoormanfallacy.com. The site is run by Mental Audio AS in Oslo, Norway, which is responsible for the data described here.
