Privacy

Short, because there is not much to disclose: reading this site requires nothing from you, and the only personal information we hold is what you type into a form.

Reading the site

No account, no sign-up, no paywall. We set no advertising trackers and no analytics cookies. The site is served through Cloudflare, whose infrastructure processes standard request data (IP address, user agent) to deliver pages and prevent abuse, as with almost every website.

When you send us something

The tips, corrections and advertising forms store exactly what you submit (your message and any name or contact details you choose to include) in our own database, so we can read it and act on it. We use contact details only to reply about the thing you sent. We do not sell, share or add them to marketing lists.

Tips can be sent with no name and no email at all. We never publish a tipster’s identity.

To have something removed

If you have submitted something and want it deleted, or want to know what we hold from you, ask through the contact forms and include enough detail to find the submission. We will confirm the outcome.

This page reflects the site as launched in July 2026; if what we collect ever changes (for example, if advertising is added), this page changes with it, visibly.
