Privacy

This notice describes how whowaserased.com actually behaves today. If any of it stops being true, this page changes with it.

What the site does not do

No user accounts, sign-in or profiles.
No contact, tip or newsletter form — nothing on the site posts data to us.
No analytics, advertising, retargeting or social tracking scripts.
No cookies or local storage set by this site's own code.
We do not sell, rent or share personal data.

Email you send us

The only way to send us anything is email, to tips@whowaserased.com. If you write, we receive whatever your message contains — your email address, your name if you include it, and the details of your report — in an ordinary email inbox, held by our email provider. We use it to verify and file removals, to reply to you, and for nothing else. We do not publish who sent a tip. Ask us to delete your correspondence and we will.

Hosting and third parties

The site is served as static pages by our hosting provider, which — like any web host — processes the technical request data needed to deliver a page, such as IP address and user agent, in its server logs. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, so your browser makes a request to Google when a page loads. Links to the Wayback Machine, source publications and sister projects go to sites with their own privacy practices.

The published dataset

Everything in the ledger and in /api/v1/entries.json is about government resources — URLs, agencies, statuses, archive links and public sources. It contains no personal data about visitors or tipsters, and it is free to reuse under CC0-1.0.
