Privacy

Back Porch Latch Field Guide has no way to identify a reader, and the sections below explain why that is a matter of construction rather than of policy.

Leaving This Site

Where a page links elsewhere, the destination is beyond this site's control. Its own policies govern from the moment the link is followed.

Hosting and Server Requests

The site is delivered through a hosting provider whose infrastructure sees each request. 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 form, no comment box, no newsletter signup and no account. There is no mechanism through which a reader could submit personal information even deliberately.

If the Site Changes

The account given here tracks the actual construction of the site. It is written to reflect the site as it stands, not as an aspiration.

No Tracking

No tracking script of any kind is loaded. Nothing measures who visits or what they read.

Browser Storage

Browser storage is not used at all, cookies included. A second visit is indistinguishable from a first, because nothing from the first was retained.
