This site has an events list, a mailing list and a forum. It collects as little as it can. Here is all of it, and how to get rid of it.

What gets collected

What it is used for

Telling you about events, and running the account you asked for. Your email does not go to anyone else. We do not sell it, rent it or hand it to organizers. There are no ads here.

Cookies and tracking

No analytics, no tracking pixels, no third-party trackers. The cookies here keep you signed in, stop the sign-in handoff being tampered with, and run the admin page. None of them follow you around other sites.

The server sees your IP while it handles a request, like every web server does, and holds on to it in memory for a bit to stop one person hammering the forms. It never gets written down next to your email or your account.

Where it lives

On one server, on a private disk you cannot reach from the web. The fonts come from Google Fonts, so Google's font servers see your browser asking for them. Sign-in goes through Google, so Google knows you signed in here. That is unavoidable if you sign in with Google.

Getting rid of it

Deleting your account does not take you off the mailing list, and unsubscribing does not delete your account. They are separate, so do both if you want both gone.

Changes

If this changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes and the new version goes up here.
