Privacy Policy for Amicite

Effective Date: February 4, 2026

Welcome to Amicite. This website is a hobbyist project dedicated to identity and expression. We prioritise a minimal-data approach: Amicite does not have user accounts, profiles, or an active registration systems.

1. Information We Collect

Because we do not allow registration, we do not collect personal identifiers like your name, email address, or physical address. However, like most websites, we process limited technical data:

  • Server Logs: Our hosting environment records your IP address, browser type, and timestamps to maintain site security and performance.

  • Aggregated Stats: We use tools to see how many people visit the site and which pages are popular. This data is anonymized and does not identify you personally.

Amicite uses a small number of cookies to ensure the site functions correctly and remembers your preferences. We categorize these as “Functional” or “Necessary.”

Plugin / Tool Purpose Data Stored
WP Dark Mode Remembers if you prefer the “Dark” or “Light” version of the site layout. A preference toggle (no personal data).
EU Cookie Bar Remembers that you have seen and acknowledged our cookie notification so it doesn’t pop up on every page. A “consent” status.
Jetpack Used for site security and basic traffic analytics (e.g., counting page views). Anonymised usage data and temporary session IDs.
3. Third-Party Services

Amicite is built on WordPress. While we do not share your data with advertisers, the Jetpack plugin (provided by Automattic) may process anonymized technical data to provide site statistics and security features. You can view Automattic’s Privacy Policy here.

4. Your Control Over Cookies

You can choose to block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that if you block all cookies, features like “Dark Mode” may reset every time you refresh the page.

5. Data Retention

Since we do not have user accounts, we do not “hold” a profile for you. Server logs are typically rotated and deleted automatically by our host after a short period (usually 30 days) for security purposes.
