Privacy

Scanner Workbench collects no personal information from readers. That is a description of how the site is built rather than a policy commitment, and the sections below explain what it means in practice.

Nothing to Submit

There is no way to send anything to this site. There is no mechanism through which a reader could submit personal information even deliberately.

Hosting and Server Requests

Delivery is handled by a hosting platform. Any web server sees the technical particulars of a request in order to answer it, and the provider retains those records briefly. Nothing from that layer is passed to the site or used to identify a reader.

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.

Keeping This Accurate

This page is maintained alongside the site itself. A privacy page that has drifted from the site it describes is worse than none, so this one is kept in step.

Nothing Is Measured

Nothing on these pages reports a visit to anybody. Readership is simply unknown here, which is unusual on the modern web and entirely deliberate.

Links to Other Sites

Outbound links appear throughout the guides. Any site reached that way sets its own terms and handles data on its own account.
