Privacy policy

This policy covers chubai.io, the reader site. It does not cover Chub itself, which runs its own data practices on chub.ai. What is known about Chub’s side is summarised on the main page.

What kind of site this is

chubai.io is something you read, not something you log into. There is no account, no profile, and nothing to upload. That keeps the data footprint small: analytics counts, ordinary server logs, a few cookies.

Server logs

Each request is logged at the server: IP address with the last octet dropped after 24 hours, timestamp, the URL you asked for, referrer, and user-agent. This is operational data, used to fix broken pages, spot abnormal traffic, and defend against automated abuse. The anonymised log is kept for 30 days; the raw log with a full IP is discarded within 24 hours.

Analytics and cookies

Aggregate analytics tell the site which pages are read and which are ignored, in numbers rather than named individuals. The age-acknowledgement you give at the door is stored locally in your own browser so the notice does not reappear on every page; it never leaves your device. Anything beyond strictly necessary measurement runs on consent with a clear way to opt out.

Legal bases

Processing relies on two bases under Article 6 GDPR: legitimate interests for operational logs, security and site improvement, and consent for any measurement beyond the strictly necessary.

Where data sits

The site is hosted on infrastructure in the European Economic Area. Where a vendor sits outside the EEA, it handles only anonymised or pseudonymised data and is bound to GDPR-equivalent terms.

Your rights

You can ask what is held, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. Because the site holds so little and nothing that identifies you by name, most requests are answered by pointing to the retention windows above. Requests go through the contact on the about page, and the site is maintained by Melissa Blake.

Changes

If this policy changes, the revision date below moves and the schema timestamp updates. How and when pages are revised is set out on the methodology page, the independence rules are on the editorial policy, and the rules for using the site are in the terms of service. Age and content notices are on the age verification and § 2257 pages.
