Our operating commitments

Most marketing sites describe themselves in marketing copy. We'd rather describe ourselves in the rules we hold ourselves to. This page is the prospect-facing distillation of the operating rules we follow — verifiable, not aspirational.

The full internal version lives in our public source repository if you want to read it in detail. This page summarizes the parts that affect you.

How we treat your data

How the site is hosted

How we treat AI agents and crawlers

This is a deliberate posture. We think the open web should remain machine-readable, and we'd rather be useful to AI agents than blocking them.

What we don't do

How this is enforced

Our internal operating rules — the full version, with implementation specifics — live in our source repository as a committed document, alongside the code that runs this site. The repository is public. Both are linked from this site's About page.

Changes to our operating rules flow through a documented amendment process with traceability to either a new architectural decision, an evolution of the web standards we follow, or a learning from live operation that justifies the change. Amendments without traceability are rejected.

If something here seems wrong, or you notice we're doing something we said we wouldn't, tell us and we'll fix it.

What we don't promise

We don't promise that nothing will ever go wrong. We promise that when something does go wrong, we will find out, we will tell you if it affected your data, and we will fix the underlying cause — not just the symptom. Boring and trustworthy beats interesting and opaque.
