The whole policy fits on one screen.

The short version. No account is needed to read the site or run a scenario. Accepted cohort members get a members-only login for the workspace. That’s the only account here, and it holds just what a member enters. We run no advertising trackers, and we never sell or share anything. If you email us, we use your address to reply, nothing more.

If you subscribe to updates. The email signup is optional and separate from reading the site. If you give us your email (and, if you like, your name or role), we store it only to send new Field Notes and briefings, and we screen the form against bots with Cloudflare Turnstile, a lightweight check that doesn’t track you across sites. We also record the two-letter country code a signup comes from (for example “US” or “AT”), so we can report reach honestly to funders; we never store your IP address or anything finer than the country. We never share or sell the list, and you can unsubscribe at any time — that page deletes the whole row, so nothing of yours is kept on a suppression list.

How we learn what’s useful. We use privacy-respecting tools to see how the site is used: which pages and scenarios get read, which Atlas instruments get opened and used, and where people get stuck, so we can improve it and qualify for nonprofit advertising credits. That means aggregate stats and anonymized recordings of how visitors move through pages (clicks and scrolling; anything you type is masked). We don’t store your IP address. The session recordings set no cookies. Our aggregate analytics keeps one small cookie to tell a repeat visit from a new one, which you can block anytime with a privacy browser or extension.

The exercises stay yours. Your answers and notes in the self-guided scenario are saved in your own browser so you can resume; we see that the exercise was used, not what you wrote.

Hosting and security. The site is served and protected by Cloudflare, including through Cloudflare’s Project Galileo, which provides free security to public-interest and at-risk organizations so they stay online. Cloudflare handles IP addresses briefly to deliver pages and block attacks, like every site behind a CDN.
