Privacy Policy

Short version: we collect as little as we can, we don't sell it, and there are no ad networks following you around this site.

What we collect

• Email address — only if you type it into the update form or a support thread.
• Technical logs — IP address, user agent, page requested, timestamp, kept by our CDN for security and caching.
• A local flag — a single value in your browser's local storage recording that you passed the age gate. No cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to beyond this.
• Payment metadata — if you buy access, our processor gives us a transaction id, amount, currency and the last digits of a card. Never the full number.

Why we collect it

To send the emails you asked for, to serve and secure the site, to keep access keys working, and to answer you when you write in.

Who processes it

• Cloudflare — DNS, CDN, object storage, email routing.
• Google — the mailbox our routed mail lands in.
• Payment providers — named at checkout when you pay.

All of them act as processors for us, except where they run their own services. Some are outside your country, including in the United States.

How long we keep it

Update-list emails: until you unsubscribe, plus 30 days. Logs: 30 days. Transaction records: as long as tax rules require.

Analytics

We use aggregate, cookieless request counts from our CDN. No cross-site profiles, no fingerprinting, no third-party pixels at launch.

Your rights

Write to contact@barescene.com and we will export, correct or delete what we hold on you. If you are in the EEA or UK you also have the right to complain to your local supervisory authority.

Children

The site is aimed at adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.

Changes

If this policy changes materially we will note it on the update list and change the date above.
