PUBLICATION STANDARDS

Privacy

The owner dashboard uses a necessary secure session cookie. We store publication settings, account authorisations, source evidence and delivery records so the service can operate after the owner signs out.

Background authorisations are encrypted. Signing out ends the browser session; Disconnect ends publishing access. We do not store Bluesky passwords or payment card details.

The public site counts daily page and referral requests without analytics cookies, IP addresses, device identifiers or stored browsing histories. Counts are not unique people or proof of attention and are retained for 90 days. Tracking pixels and newsletters are disabled. Affiliate providers and destination sites apply their own privacy policies after a reader follows a clearly labelled link.

Source evidence is retained for a bounded period; published provenance and financial records remain for audit. The owner can export their own records from the dashboard.
