Privacy

Back Porch Weld Notes 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 Analytics

The pages carry no analytics, no tag manager and no advertising pixel. Nothing measures who visits or what they read.

No Sign-In

There is no form, no comment box, no newsletter signup and no account. There is no mechanism through which a reader could submit personal information even deliberately.

Leaving This Site

Some pages link to other websites. Any site reached that way sets its own terms and handles data on its own account.

Browser Storage

The site sets no cookies and writes nothing to browser storage. Because nothing is stored in the browser, there is no consent banner, and nothing to accept or decline.

Hosting and Server Requests

Pages are served by a commercial hosting provider. Like any web host it processes the technical request data needed to deliver a page, including the requesting address, and retains it briefly for security and operational purposes. That processing sits with the host and is common to essentially all web hosting.

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.
