On this page: The line a request leaves · Read for two things, and passed to nobody · Machinery that was never installed · Mail, and how to have it removed
Grading venues on what they ask of a trader is awkward work to do from a site that asks for anything
itself, so this notice opens with the one record a visit here cannot avoid producing: the line a web
server writes when it answers a request. Everything below follows from that line — what sits inside it,
the three weeks it survives, the two questions it is read for, and the collection machinery that was
never installed on this domain in the first place.

## The line a request leaves

A request for a page here is answered by a web server, and the server notes it down the way web
servers have noted requests down since the beginning. The note holds the network address the request
arrived from, the moment it arrived, the page or file asked for, the status it was answered with, the
number of bytes sent, the browser string the request carried and, where a browser supplies one, the
page a reader came from. Nothing of ours is added to that line. No number is handed to a reader on a
first visit and looked for on the next, because no number is ever handed out.

Lines are held for 21 days and go when the file holding them is rotated away. Nothing is carried
forward out of a rotated file into a summary, a counter or a running total, so after three weeks a
visit has left no trace at all.

## Read for two things, and passed to nobody

Those lines answer two questions and no others. Are pages reaching the readers and the crawlers that
ask for them, and is a burst of requests a person reading or a script working through the site at
speed. A run of missing-page answers is read the same narrow way — as a sign that an address printed
somewhere else is wrong and needs correcting.

Past those two questions the record stays where it is. It is not sold. It is not handed to an
advertising network, a data broker or anybody selling anything whatsoever. No portrait of a reader is
assembled out of it, no effort is made to establish whose address stands in a line, and it is never
laid beside another list, whether that list is held on this domain or somewhere off it.

## Machinery that was never installed

Most of what a privacy notice usually has to account for is missing here because it was never built
in. There is no account to open, no sign-in, no password and no wallet to connect. There is no form,
no comment field and no newsletter box, so there is nothing to type and nothing typed to keep. These
pages set no cookie and read none. No analytics property, tag manager or visitor counter runs on them.
There is no advertising pixel, no remarketing tag and no click identifier bolted onto an address. The
stylesheet and both typefaces are served from this domain rather than from somebody else's, so opening
a page tells no other company that you opened it.

Links out to venue documentation, terms of use and audit records are printed as plain addresses. The
address shown is the address the link goes to, with no parameter added and no redirector of ours in
the middle, and which links a reader follows is not something this site is in a position to know.

## Mail, and how to have it removed

Correspondence is the single place where something of yours is handed over, and only because a reply
needs somewhere to go. A message sent to desk@cafrodytes.com sits in a mailbox with the
address it was sent from for as long as the question stays open, and where the answer changed a figure
on a page it sits alongside the note of that change.

Neither the message nor the address joins a mailing list, because this desk keeps none. To be told
what is held from an exchange of messages, to have it corrected, or to have the whole thread deleted,
write to the same address and say which exchange you mean.
