Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 2024
The Short Version
- We don't track you personally
- We don't sell your data to anyone
- We don't require accounts or personal information
- We use minimal analytics (if any) to improve the site
- Your safety is more important than our metrics
Why Privacy Matters Here
We understand that people visiting this site may be in sensitive or even dangerous situations. Someone monitoring your internet activity could use your visit here against you. That's why we've designed this site with your privacy and safety as top priorities.
Information We Don't Collect
We do NOT collect:
- Your name, email address, or other personal identifiers
- Information that could identify you as an individual
- Any account information (we don't have accounts)
- Data about your specific situation or circumstances
- Location data beyond general region (country/state)
Information We May Collect
Like most websites, our hosting service may automatically log some technical information:
- Basic analytics: Page views, general geographic region, device type (mobile/desktop), and browser type. This helps us understand if people can access our content.
- Server logs: IP addresses may be temporarily logged by our hosting provider (GitHub Pages) as part of standard web infrastructure. We do not access or analyze these logs.
We use this information only to understand how to improve the site and ensure it works properly across different devices and browsers.
Cookies
This site uses minimal to no cookies. We do not use:
- Advertising or tracking cookies
- Third-party analytics that track you across websites
- Social media tracking pixels
If we use any analytics in the future, we will choose privacy-respecting options and update this policy accordingly.
Third-Party Services
Our site is hosted on GitHub Pages, which is operated by GitHub (owned by Microsoft). Their privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policy: GitHub Privacy Statement
When we link to external resources (hotlines, other organizations), those sites have their own privacy policies. We cannot control how they handle your information.
Your Browser History
⚠️ Important Safety Information
While we don't track you, your browser does. If someone has access to your device, they may be able to see that you visited this site through:
- Browser history
- Recently visited sites
- Autofill suggestions
- Downloaded files
If you're concerned about someone monitoring your activity, consider:
- Using private/incognito browsing mode
- Clearing your browser history after visiting
- Accessing from a library computer or trusted friend's device
- Visiting our Digital Safety page for more guidance
Data Sharing
We will NEVER:
- Sell your data to anyone
- Share your information with advertisers
- Provide your information to third parties for marketing
We may share aggregated, non-identifying information (like "10,000 people visited last month") in impact reports or grant applications, but this information cannot be used to identify any individual.
The only exception to our no-sharing policy would be if we were legally compelled to share information (such as by a valid court order). However, since we don't collect personal information, we would have very little to share.
Children's Privacy
We provide educational content that may be accessed by children and teens. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Our site does not have accounts, forms, or other ways to submit personal information.
Changes to This Policy
If we make significant changes to how we handle privacy, we will update this policy and the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
