Privacy

Back Porch Plumbing Field Guide 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.

No Forms or Accounts

The site takes no submissions of any kind. The pages are documents to be read, and nothing more interactive than that.

Hosting and Server Requests

Delivery is handled by a hosting platform. That request data belongs to the hosting provider, is held briefly for operational reasons, and never reaches the publication itself.

External Links

Some pages link to other websites. Its own policies govern from the moment the link is followed.

No Analytics

Nothing on these pages reports a visit to anybody. No page view is recorded against a reader, no identifier is assigned, and no behavioral profile exists to be sold, shared or lost.

Nothing Is Stored

Nothing is written to the device a reader arrives on. Because nothing is stored in the browser, there is no consent banner, and nothing to accept or decline.

Keeping This Accurate

The account given here tracks the actual construction of the site. Should a feature ever be added that handles data differently, this text is revised at the same time.
