Privacy Policy

Information Collection

PlainCollege does not require user registration or collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers. We do not ask you to create an account to use our services.

When you visit PlainCollege, our web server may automatically collect standard technical information including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and pages visited. This information is used solely for maintaining site performance and security.

Cookies

PlainCollege uses minimal cookies. We store a theme preference cookie (theme) in your browser's local storage to remember your light/dark mode selection. This is not a tracking cookie and contains no personal information.

We do not use third-party advertising cookies. If we integrate third-party services in the future (such as advertising networks), this policy will be updated accordingly.

PlainCollege uses Umami Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics platform. Umami does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track users across websites. All data is aggregated and anonymous.

Analytics data helps us understand which pages are most useful, how visitors find our site, and where we can improve the user experience. No individual visitor can be identified from this data.

PlainCollege is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may collect standard server logs as part of their content delivery and security services. You can review Cloudflare's privacy policy at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to outside parties. We do not use any social media tracking pixels or third-party advertising trackers.

Data Security

All connections to PlainCollege are encrypted using HTTPS/TLS. We implement reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access to our systems. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
