Privacy Policy | Search For The Needle Field Guide

Small footprint. Clear boundaries.

The site works without an account, profile, contact form, or advertising tracker. It uses self-hosted Plausible to understand aggregate page visits without advertising cookies.

DIRECT ANSWER

The guide stores one optional next-move preference in your browser. Plausible receives page-view requests, including the page path and referrer, at our analytics server. It does not use cross-site advertising cookies or build advertising profiles. The site does not collect names, email addresses, account credentials, or form submissions. Hosting providers may process ordinary request logs for security and delivery.

WHAT IS STORED

One local preference

Browser storage

The homepage saves your selected “next move” on that device using local storage. Clearing site data removes it.

No account

There is no sign-in, user profile, cloud save, newsletter, or user-submitted database.

Hosting logs

Cloudflare may process IP addresses, request details, and security signals as part of delivering and protecting the site.

EXTERNAL MEDIA

You choose when video loads

YouTube stays unloaded until you press play

Before playback, the page requests a YouTube thumbnail. Pressing play loads the privacy-enhanced YouTube embed, which may receive request data and apply its own storage or privacy practices.

ANALYTICS

Self-hosted, aggregate measurement

Plausible Analytics is served from p.070122.xyz, a Plausible instance we operate. The site does not run Google Analytics, AdSense, behavioral advertising, or a consent-management platform.
