The short version: GujjarArchive does not track you. Reading this site sets no cookies, runs no analytics or advertising, and loads nothing from Google or any other outside service.
What happens when you read
- No reader accounts. Everything here can be read without signing up, and nothing asks for your name or email address.
- No cookies for readers. Cookies are set only for staff who log in, to keep them logged in and to protect their forms.
- Your light or dark theme is remembered by your own browser. It is never sent to us.
- Fonts, styles and scripts are all served from this site itself, so no other company learns that you visited.
- No visit log. The web server does not record which pages are read or by whom. If a request fails with an error, the server's error log may note the address it came from. That log is deleted after 14 days.
- Protection against abuse. The staff login and access request pages briefly remember the network address of recent attempts, to slow down password guessing and spam. This is held only in the running program's memory, never saved to a file, and forgotten within two hours.
Other websites
Links to other websites take you there, and that site's own privacy policy applies. An article may occasionally show an image that is hosted on another website; displaying it means your browser contacts that site, which then sees your network address as it would for any visit.
Search engines
When an article is published, changed or removed, the server sends that article's web address to search engines through a shared service called IndexNow, so their results stay current. The message holds only that address and a code proving it came from this site; nothing about readers is ever part of it.
Staff accounts
For the people who write here, the site stores a username, a display name, and the password in scrambled form (a one-way hash, so the password itself cannot be read back). No email addresses are stored for anyone.
Where the site runs
The site and its data are on a server rented from netcup GmbH, in Nuremberg, Germany, and are covered by European data protection law.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you may ask what information we hold about you, and have it corrected or deleted. For readers there is almost always nothing to hand over, because nothing is kept. You also have the right to complain to the data protection authority where you live.
