Signal Criteria

Privacy

Signal Criteria 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

No tracking script of any kind is loaded. No page view is recorded against a reader, no identifier is assigned, and no behavioral profile exists to be sold, shared or lost.

Browser Storage

Browser storage is not used at all, cookies included. Because nothing is stored in the browser, there is no consent banner, and nothing to accept or decline.

Leaving This Site

Outbound links appear throughout the guides. Once a reader follows one of those links they are on a site with its own practices, and nothing described here applies to it.

How Pages Are Delivered

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.

No Sign-In

There is no way to send anything to this site. There is no mechanism through which a reader could submit personal information even deliberately.

Keeping This Accurate

This page is maintained alongside the site itself. A privacy page that has drifted from the site it describes is worse than none, so this one is kept in step.
