privacy
// what is stored, what leaves your browser, and what is not done at all
no cookies, no accounts, no advertising, no trackers. nothing is sold, shared for marketing, profiled, or used to make an automated decision about anybody, and nothing here follows you to other sites.
it is a fan project run by one person in their free time, not affiliated with Cloudbase Mayhem — see [about]. that person is responsible for everything described here.
[in your browser]
no cookies are set, by this site or by anything on it. two values are written to local storage, and neither ever leaves your browser:
pg:rate- the playback speed you chose, so the next episode starts at the same speed. one number, kept until you clear this site's data.
pg:pos:<episode>- how many seconds into an episode you had got, so you can pick it up where you left it — in any language, since the key is the episode rather than the page. deleted by itself when you reach the end of one.
[what your browser contacts]
opening an episode makes requests to other places, and every one of them learns your IP address, because a request has to come from somewhere.
- Blubrry
- the audio. episodes stream from Gavin McClurg's original feed and nothing is re-hosted here, so they see your address and which episode you opened — from the moment the page loads rather than when you press play, because the player asks the file how long it is in order to draw the timeline.
- Cloudflare
- serves these pages, and counts page views without cookies and without any identifier that follows you — aggregate totals, so there is no record of a single visit to keep or to delete. its server logs (address, page, time, browser) exist to keep the site up and last days rather than months.
[asking about it]
you can ask what is held about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, object to it being held at all, or ask for a copy. in practice there is very little to ask about: nothing here is stored against a person except short-lived server logs.
you can also complain to the data protection authority where you live. and this describes the site as it stands today — it is a small project and it changes; when what it does with data changes, this page changes with it.
