Privacy

When a page on this site is requested, the server records: the request path and method, the response status, the time, the country and network (ASN number and organisation name) the request came from, the browser or crawler family (and a human, crawler or other class derived from it) and the first 160 characters of its User-Agent string, a yes or no for whether the full User-Agent string looks like a machine, the HTTP protocol version, the values of the browser fetch-metadata headers (Sec-Fetch-Site, Sec-Fetch-Mode, Sec-Fetch-Dest, Sec-Fetch-User) and of the Sec-Purpose header, a yes or no for whether the request carried a language header or client-hint headers (not their values), the referring site and path, and any utm_source or src tag in the address. No IP address, cookie or request body is stored for these records. Not every request is recorded: repeats within minutes and requests beyond a daily limit are skipped.

Purpose: to learn whether anyone, human or crawler, reads these pages. Log rows older than about 60 days are removed by a periodic purge, so a row can stay somewhat longer than 60 days.

The removal form on the corrections page stores the page you choose, your message and email if you give them, and a daily hash of your IP address (computed from the address, or for IPv6 its network prefix, and the date) used only to limit repeats. A hash of an address can be reversed by trying every possible address, so treat it as pseudonymous, not anonymous. Those are kept until the request is handled and are removed by the same periodic purge about 60 days after that.
