Privacy

What a visit leaves

• The page, by its path.
• The tag of a link made for you: the acme in ghazaryantech.com/?r=acme. The page then takes it out of the address bar, so a link copied from there does not carry it on.
• The host of the page that linked here, never the rest of its address.
• The size of the screen, as one of three: narrow, medium or wide.
• The minute.
• A pseudonym for the day, so that one visitor's pages count as one: a keyed hash (HMAC-SHA256) of the network address and the browser's user agent. Neither of those is kept. The key is made for one day and deleted by the first visit of a later day; after that nobody can tell whose a pseudonym was, or match it with another day's.

What it does not

No network address, no user agent, no cookie, and nothing in the browser's storage but the theme, if you choose one. No scripts, fonts or images from anyone else, so no one else hears of the visit. The one cookie the site sets is a session, for whoever starts signing in: to the owner's admin, or to an account of your own (below).

How to say no

With Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track switched on, the pages send nothing, and the server would count nothing if they did. Programs that say what they are in their user agent, crawlers and link previews among them, are not counted either.

How long

Visits are deleted after 400 days.

If you introduce yourself

The introduction form keeps what you write in it, which is up to you: your name, your address, the company and role if you give them, and your message, with the time you sent it. You see it before it is sent; a draft you do not send is deleted. If you choose to attach your conversation with the guide, it goes as you saw it, and is kept with the rest. It is there so that I can answer you, only I read it, it goes to no one else, and it is deleted 180 days after you send it, or sooner if you ask.

If you check a posting

The fit check sends a posting you paste to Anthropic's API, whose model reads its requirements; the examples call no model, and send Anthropic nothing. Nothing of a posting is kept here or written to a log, and its result has no link: it is shown to you, and gone when you leave the page. Anthropic deletes what its API is sent within 30 days, save the exceptions it lists, and its commercial terms do not let it train models on it.

If you ask the assistant

Without an account, a question you type to the assistant is matched, on this server, to the prepared answers: they call no model and send Anthropic nothing, and the words of your question are not kept. From an account, the assistant sends your question, with this site's record, to Anthropic's API, whose model answers it. A conversation's questions and the answers shown are held in this server's memory for thirty minutes, so that a follow-up makes sense, then forgotten: nothing of them is written down or logged, unless you chose to keep your conversations (below). With each question goes what is on your screen, by this site's own names for it (the page, the experiment, whether it runs), and which of the guide's last actions did not happen, so that it answers for what you see; nothing you have typed into a page goes with it. What Anthropic does with what its API is sent is said above.

If you speak to the guide, your browser turns what you say into text: on your device where it can, otherwise by its maker's service (Google's in Chrome, Apple's in Safari), under that company's terms. This site receives the text alone, never the sound, and the microphone listens only once you press its button, until you let go or stop speaking. Answers read aloud are spoken by your browser, on your device.

What the guide does is counted by day, in numbers alone: how many questions, which kinds of thing it showed, which tours were played, how long answers took to begin, and, for a question it could not answer, which topics of the site's own lists it named: a technology the site knows by name, or a subject such as a start date or a visa. None of your words goes into a count but as one of those names, and nothing is counted for a browser that asks not to be tracked.

If you make an account

An account is for questions of your own. It keeps your name and address as Google gives them, and nothing else of your Google account; the short form you fill in: your LinkedIn profile, your company's site, and the posting's link or the role's title; your second factor's key, encrypted, and your recovery codes as hashes that cannot be read back; how many questions you asked each day, for the daily limit; and, only if you choose to keep your conversations, each question with the answer as it was shown and when you asked it.

I see your name, your address, the form, and how many questions you asked, so that I know who is asking; never what you asked, which is yours alone. Nobody else sees any of it.

While you are signed in, your browser holds a session cookie for this site alone, which ends when you sign out or after eight hours without use. A question you asked before signing in waits in your browser's tab, and nowhere else, until you ask it or close the tab.

Your account's page shows the conversations you kept and downloads them as a PDF; you can delete one, all of them, or the account with everything in it, at any time. An account unused for six months is deleted with everything in it, and one whose setup never finished, after a week.

Elsewhere

Google Cloud, which hosts the site, logs the requests that reach its servers, network addresses included, for their operation and security, and keeps those logs for 30 days.
