Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy governs your use of charn.org. By continuing to access or use this website, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy.

CHARN is not yet a formally incorporated organization. This policy covers how this website (“the Website,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit or use it. We’ll update this page once CHARN takes on a formal legal structure.

TL;DR

This website collects anonymized analytics, including a limited, sampled session replay, and only collects personal information if you submit it to us through our contact form.

We use the following third-party service providers:

• Cloudflare for hosting and analytics
• Self-hosted Umami for analytics and session replay
• Web3Forms for our contact form

Information We Collect

1. Analytics Data (Anonymous)

We use Umami Analytics and Cloudflare Analytics to collect anonymized, aggregated data about website usage. This does not use cookies and does not track you across other websites. Data collected includes:

• Technical Information: Anonymized IP address, browser type, operating system, pages viewed, and visit duration.
• Usage Data: Interactions such as links clicked and navigation patterns.

2. Session Replay (Anonymous, Sampled)

A sample of visits to this site are recorded as an anonymized session replay (mouse movement, scrolling, and clicks) through Umami, so we can see how the site is actually being used. Only a portion of visits are recorded, form fields and other potentially identifying content are masked, and recordings are capped at a few minutes in length.

3. Contact Information (Voluntary)

We do not automatically collect personally identifiable information. If you voluntarily submit our contact form, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and message, solely to respond to your inquiry.

Cookies and Tracking

We do not use cookies to track your behavior or collect personal information.

• No Tracking Cookies: We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
• Local Storage: We may use browser local storage solely to save display preferences, if any are added in the future.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell or share your information with third parties, except for the service providers that help us operate this website:

• Cloudflare Pages & Analytics: Our hosting provider. Cloudflare may collect basic request logs for security and performance purposes. Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
• Umami Analytics: Our analytics and session replay provider. Umami processes data anonymously. Umami Privacy Policy.
• Web3Forms: Our contact form processor. When you submit the contact form, your message is processed by Web3Forms to deliver it to us. Web3Forms Privacy Policy.

Data Retention

We retain anonymized analytics and session replay data for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Messages sent through our contact form are retained in our email systems for as long as needed to respond and keep a record of the conversation.

Children’s Privacy

This Website is not intended for children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 18.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the website and CHARN itself evolve, including once CHARN becomes a formally incorporated organization. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised date. Continued use of the Website after changes are posted means you accept the revised policy.
