Gazette is a static site. Every page was built in advance and is handed to you as a file. There is no account, no login, no database, and nothing to submit except the subscribe form described below. That is the whole shape of it; the rest of this page is detail.
What the site stores
One value, in your browser, under the key theme. It records whether you asked for the light
palette, the dark one, or your system setting. It never leaves your browser and it is not read by
anything except the switch in the header. Clearing your site data removes it.
What the host records
Whoever serves these files keeps a server log: the address that asked for a page, roughly when, and which page. That is how a web server works. As shipped, nothing is layered on top of those logs, and we do not join them to anything else.
The subscribe form
If you give us an address, it goes straight to the newsletter provider named on the form. We hold the list there and use it for one thing: sending the issue. Every email carries an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing deletes the address from the list. We do not sell it, rent it or pass it on.
Third parties
Comments, where a piece has them, are hosted on GitHub Discussions and loaded from giscus.app. Reading them loads a frame from that domain, which sees your address the way any server does. Writing one means signing in to GitHub, under GitHub’s own terms.
If analytics are switched on, the provider named in the site’s configuration counts page views from its own domain, under its own terms. Nothing of the sort runs unless it has been switched on.
Getting in touch
Write to the editorial address on the masthead. Ask what we hold on you and we will tell you; ask us to delete it and we will.
This notice describes the theme as it ships. Rewrite it to describe your site, and have a lawyer read it before you publish. It is a starting point, not legal advice.
