Privacy policy

This page describes what Shipworthy collects today. It will be updated before any new feature that collects personal data goes live.

What we collect today

  • No accounts or cookies. The site does not set cookies.
  • Privacy-friendly analytics. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and measure how fast pages load. Cloudflare says it does not use cookies, local storage or any other client-side state, and does not fingerprint visitors by IP address, browser or any other data. We see totals such as page views, referring sites, countries, browsers and load times, never individual visitors.
  • Your theme choice. If you pick light or dark mode with the button in the header, your browser remembers that choice in its local storage on your device. It is never sent to us, and clearing your browser's site data removes it.
  • Server logs. The site runs on Amazon Web Services (CloudFront and Lambda in the US). Our CDN writes an access log line for each request: the time, the page or file requested, your IP address, your browser's user agent, the referring page and the response. We use these logs to tell real readers from bots, measure traffic and investigate abuse. They are stored in a private storage bucket in the US, readable only by us, and deleted automatically after 30 days. We do not combine them with any other data.

Links to tools go through a /go/ address on this site before reaching the vendor. For each click we record which tool, where on the site the link was (for example an article or a tool page), which article if any, the date and time, your country as reported by our CDN, and whether the device is a phone or a computer. We keep these records for 180 days to learn which pages are useful. They contain no name, email address, cookie or IP address.

To stop automated abuse, we also keep a one-way hash of your IP address combined with the date for 15 minutes. It cannot be turned back into your IP address and is deleted automatically.

When you follow a link, you leave Shipworthy and the vendor's own privacy policy applies. For affiliate links, the vendor or affiliate network may set cookies to attribute the referral.
