PRIVACY POLICY

How we handle your data

Last updated: January 2025

The Debate Guide is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.

THE SHORT VERSION

We collect minimal data. We don't sell your information. We don't use invasive tracking. We respect your privacy as we'd want ours respected.

WHAT WE COLLECT

Information You Provide

If you contact us via email or social media, we receive whatever information you choose to share. We use this only to respond to your inquiry.

Automatic Information

Local Storage: We store your reading preferences (theme, font size) and reading progress locally in your browser. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any server.

Analytics: We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service that doesn't use cookies, doesn't track individuals, and is fully GDPR compliant. We see aggregate data like page views and referral sources—we cannot identify individual visitors.

Service Worker: We use a service worker to enable offline reading. This caches pages you visit on your device for faster loading and offline access. No data is sent to our servers.

WHAT WE DON'T DO

  • We don't sell or share your personal information with third parties
  • We don't use advertising trackers or retargeting
  • We don't collect or store personally identifiable information
  • We don't use invasive fingerprinting techniques
  • We don't send marketing emails (we don't collect your email)

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Google Fonts: We load fonts from Google Fonts. Google may collect anonymized usage data. See Google's Privacy Policy.

Hosting: This site is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may collect server logs including IP addresses for security purposes. See Vercel's Privacy Policy.

YOUR RIGHTS

Since we don't collect personal data, there's nothing to delete, correct, or export. Your reading preferences are stored only in your browser—clear your browser's local storage to remove them.

COOKIES

We do not use cookies. Your preferences are stored in your browser's local storage, which is not transmitted to our servers.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

This site is educational content suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

If we make significant changes to this policy, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top. Material changes will be noted prominently.
