Privacy Policy
The short version: no tracking, no cookies, no analytics. If you join the keep-me-posted list we store your email address and nothing else, and use it only to contact you about askalf. The askalf operation itself runs on its own infrastructure — your visit here touches none of it.
What we collect on askalf.org
askalf.org is a static site hosted on Cloudflare Pages. We run:
- No analytics, no cookies, no trackers. The only third-party scripts are Google Fonts (typography) and Cloudflare Turnstile (anti-abuse on the email form).
- Cloudflare may collect standard server logs (IP address, user agent, request URL) as part of operating their infrastructure. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
The keep-me-posted list
If you submit your email on the front page:
- We store the email address you give us (in Cloudflare Workers KV, in our Cloudflare account), along with the time you signed up.
- We use it for one thing: contacting you about askalf availability, if that day comes. No sharing, no selling, no unrelated marketing.
- Signups pass through Cloudflare Turnstile to filter bots. Turnstile may process connection data to make that decision; see Cloudflare's policy above.
- Want off the list? Email hello@askalf.org and we'll delete your entry.
The Ask Alf widget
The chat widget on the front page answers questions about askalf. Your messages are processed to generate an answer and are not used to build profiles or for marketing; the conversation is kept in your browser's session storage and disappears when the tab closes.
Third-party services
- Cloudflare: hosting, CDN, and Turnstile. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
- Google Fonts: typography. See Google's Privacy Policy.
Open source
askalf's building blocks — warden, canon, keeper, dario, hands, deepdive, and more — are MIT-licensed at github.com/askalf. You can inspect exactly what they do; none of them contain trackers or telemetry.
