Browser behavior
The reference does not set cookies or use browser storage for visitor profiles. The static reference search uses a bundled public index; the platform search uses the site’s public-only server index. Glossary filtering uses terms already in the page. No remote fonts, embedded social widgets, background video, or third-party chat code is included.
A search query may be placed in the search page URL for bookmarking and OpenSearch. URLs can remain in browser history or appear in ordinary hosting access logs when requested. Avoid putting confidential material into a search URL.
Hosting and access records
A server may receive the requested path, time, IP address, user agent, and ordinary network information when delivering files. Actual logging, retention, and access controls depend on the owner’s hosting configuration and provider. This release does not invent a retention period or claim that the provider keeps no logs.
Contact and outbound links
Email sent to the project is handled outside the static site. Do not send credentials or confidential evidence in an initial message. Links to GitHub, related projects, and sources take the visitor to independently operated services with their own policies. There are no affiliate parameters or tracking redirects in the site’s links.
Accounts and publication privacy
Account sessions use security cookies and protected server records. Member profiles start private, with separate public profile and directory choices. Blog and Journal drafts and review discussions remain private; approved publication snapshots enter public discovery. Learning progress and private account details remain outside public search. Contact contact@syntheticforensics.org about this privacy policy.
