PRIVACY

A small data footprint.

The launch version does not ask you to create an account, upload files, or submit personal information.

Effective August 16, 2026
Data collectedExternal linksFuture changesYour rights
DATA COLLECTED

No forms, accounts, ad pixels, or newsletter tracking at launch.

Plain Gist does not currently provide user accounts, comments, uploads, purchases, or an email signup form. The site does not intentionally store reader profiles in an application database.

The hosting and network providers that deliver the site may process technical request information such as IP address, device or browser data, timestamps, and security logs as part of operating and protecting the service.

EXTERNAL LINKS

Other sites have their own policies.

Links may take you to software vendors, government guidance, and other external sources. Those services control their own cookies, analytics, accounts, and transactions. Review their policies before providing personal or payment information.

FUTURE CHANGES

New collection requires a policy update.

If analytics, newsletter signup, contact forms, advertising, or other tracking is added, this page will be updated before or when the feature becomes active. The effective date will change and any legally required choices will be presented to readers.

YOUR RIGHTS

Questions and requests.

A brand contact address for privacy questions will be published after the custom domain and business email are connected. Until then, the site is intentionally operating without direct user-data collection features.
