What this site knows about you.

Privacy policy · version 2026-09-01 · applies to the website centram.org

The lists of what is collected and what is not were written by reading this site’s code, and the fields that cannot be settled yet are left visibly blank rather than filled with something plausible.

Unreviewed draft

This draft was written by reading what this site’s code actually does. It needs review by a lawyer before publication. The fields marked TO FILL cannot be completed until the operating entity is settled, and this document must not be published while they are blank.

01What this document covers

This document describes visiting the website centram.org and submitting its forms. That is its whole subject.

It does not describe the node software you run on your own machine. That is a different system, run by you rather than by anyone here, and it has its own policy on the documentation page. What the node collects, and what it has stopped collecting, is recorded there and in the project’s commit history — not here.

02Who operates this site

This site is operated by TO FILL: legal entity or individual name, located at TO FILL: address. The person responsible for personal data is TO FILL.

The formal operating entity is not yet established. These fields are deliberately left blank until it is.

03What is collected

Checked against the code, 2026-09-01.

Data When Purpose Stored where
Email address When you sign up for updates Sending updates The operator’s database
Application form contents
(name, email, location, affiliation, areas of interest, free text)
The form is closed; nothing new is collected. Records submitted before it closed still exist. Reviewing and replying to the application The operator’s database
IP address On form submission and on admin login attempts Rate limiting only Not written to the database; held in memory during the request only
Server logs
(path, time, IP address)
Every request Diagnosing faults and abuse The hosting provider’s infrastructure

04What is not collected

Each line below was checked against the code before being stated.

05Who else sees it

Recipient What they receive Why
Resend Recipient address and message body Delivering email
Hosting provider Every request, and the database contents Running the site

Those two are the entire list. Nothing else is disclosed to anyone, except where disclosure is required by law.

06Cookies and browser storage

No cookie is set for ordinary visitors. Cookies are used only when the operator signs in to the admin panel.

Some values are kept in your browser’s localStorage. They never leave your browser: they are not transmitted to the server and the operator cannot see them.

Clearing your browser’s site data removes all three.

07How long it is kept

08Your rights

Write to the address in section 11 and you can:

After verifying your identity, a reply is sent within TO FILL: response deadline.

09Security

Traffic is protected with TLS. The admin panel requires a password, a passphrase and a time-based one-time code; passwords are stored only as scrypt-derived values. Creating the admin account requires a bootstrap token supplied as an environment variable.

No one can guarantee complete security. This is a pre-release research project and it has not had an external security audit.

10Changes

When this document changes, the version at the top is updated and the consent screen is shown again on your next visit. What you agreed to is never silently replaced with something else.

Changed in version 2026-09-01: Google Fonts was removed from the list of recipients in section 05, because the two pages that loaded a font from it were withdrawn and no page loads one now. The browser-storage list in section 06 was corrected: the theme and language entries are described as dead leftovers rather than working preferences, because the site no longer has a theme switch or a second language and no page reads or writes either key.

11Contact

Governing law and jurisdiction: TO FILL.
