Our own fine print, kept short

NilSite is a static website with no forms on it at all. Its privacy policy fits on one page because the data it handles nearly fits in one sentence. We spend our days flagging other companies' buried clauses; it would be a poor look to bury our own. This version is effective October 9, 2026.

What we collect

If you write to the desk, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to tell us. That, plus the traffic measurement described under Traffic below, is the inventory. There is no newsletter: a box offering a weekly letter sat at the foot of these pages until September 2026, was never connected to a sender, and has been removed rather than left to imply a list that did not exist. We don't run accounts, we don't ask for names, and reading the site requires giving us nothing at all.

What we do with it

An email address you write from is used to answer the message you sent — nothing else. No selling, no renting, no 'sharing with trusted partners.' There is no list, so there is nothing to unsubscribe from.

Affiliate links

Outbound links to website builders may pass through our /go/ redirect addresses. Once you land on a builder's site, that company and its affiliate network operate under their own privacy policies — which, in the spirit of this publication, we would encourage you to actually read.

Traffic

We look at visits in aggregate to see what gets read, using two tools. Cloudflare Web Analytics, run by the network that delivers the site, uses no cookies and gives us totals. Google Analytics 4, whose provider is Google LLC, or Google Ireland Ltd. in Europe, records the pages you view, the referring site, your approximate city and country, your device and browser type, and how long you stay.

The clauses that matter: GA4 does not log or store IP addresses. Its advertising features, Google signals and ad personalisation are switched off, so the data is not used for advertising, and we do not sell it. It sets two first-party cookies, _ga and _ga_<ID>, lasting up to two years — only after analytics is allowed, and deleted if you decline later. We don't build profiles of individual readers, and we don't run third-party advertising trackers.

Who is asked: if your device's time zone is in Europe (EEA, UK, Switzerland), a banner asks first and nothing reaches Google unless you accept. Everywhere else analytics is on by default, with an off switch you can use at any time. A Global Privacy Control signal counts as opting out. Your answer is kept in local storage as analytics-consent, not in a cookie, and the cookie settings link reopens the banner. Google's own fine print is the Google Privacy Policy, and Google's opt-out add-on turns Google Analytics off on every site.

Changes

If this policy changes, the effective date at the top changes with it. We hold ourselves to the standard we hold pricing pages to: no silent edits.
