Privacy

This page explains how Climberoo handles server logs, analytics, email and affiliate links. The site has no accounts, sign-up, newsletter, comments or forms. We update this notice before adding any of them.

Who we are

This site is published by IPORA LLC, which is responsible for the data described below. For anything about this page, write to hello@climberoo.com.

What we collect

Server logs. Our server's log does not record visits. It holds operating messages, such as start-ups, warnings and errors, which may mention a page or link that failed but not the address you connected from or your browser's user-agent string. We use them to run the site and fix faults. They rotate as they fill: we hold about 30 MB of the most recent lines and discard older ones. How long that covers depends on traffic. There is no archive.

Request counters. To limit abusive traffic, our server counts requests to some files and features, such as robots.txt and the sitemap, per visitor over short windows: one minute for most, and never more than a day. Each count is kept under a one-way pseudonym that changes every window and cannot be turned back into your address, and it expires when its window ends; the file our cache server uses to recover after a restart can hold these pseudonymous counts until the file is compacted.

Delivery records. Cloudflare, which delivers the site, receives the address you connected from, your browser's user-agent string, the page requested and the time with every request. In Cloudflare's dashboard we can see traffic totals and a sample of individual requests from about the last seven days, each with the address, browser string, page and country, whether or not a security rule acted on it; we use them to run the site and handle abusive traffic. Cloudflare keeps these records under its own privacy policy, linked below.

Email. If you write to us we receive your address and message and use them to reply. We keep correspondence as long as the matter needs.

Cookies

We set no cookies of our own, and Cloudflare Web Analytics, described below, sets none either. There is no cookie banner because there is nothing for one to ask about. A retailer may set its own cookies after you follow a link to it; its privacy policy covers them.

Analytics

We run no analytics of our own.

Cloudflare, which delivers this site, also runs Cloudflare Web Analytics on its pages for us. A small script loaded from static.cloudflareinsights.com reports each page view, the page that referred you, the country your visit came from, the type of device, browser and operating system you used, and how quickly the page loaded (the measures known as Core Web Vitals). It sets no cookie, and Cloudflare states that it does not identify you or follow you from site to site. Cloudflare's privacy policy is at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

Do Not Track

Your browser may send a Do Not Track signal. We run no cross-site advertising tracking, and we do not change how the site behaves in response to the signal. Server logs and delivery records are handled as described above whether or not it is present.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site may be paid. A link to Amazon goes straight to Amazon and carries our store identifier and the name of the page it was on. If we add links to other retailers, each will go straight to that retailer and carry our affiliate reference, and the retailer's own systems may set a cookie when you arrive. We record nothing about you when you follow any of these links. The retailer's privacy policy applies to what it collects, cookies included, once you arrive.

Who else sees your data

These service providers handle data when they deliver the site or our email:

• Cloudflare, Inc.: delivering the site and terminating its encrypted connections. Receives your connection address, the page you requested and the page that linked to it, and your browser string. Privacy policy
• New Dream Network, LLC (DreamHost): hosting the mailbox for our published address and sending our replies. Receives your email address and whatever you write to us. Privacy policy
• MailChannels Corporation: relaying the email we send from our published address, on behalf of DreamHost. Receives your email address and the content of our reply, which may quote what you wrote. Privacy policy

Where your data goes

Our server is in the United States. Cloudflare, which delivers the site, answers each request at one of its data centres, usually one near you and possibly in your own country, and passes anything it cannot answer from its cache on to our server. Each company named above handles data where it operates, under the laws that apply there, including laws on access by courts and authorities.

If you are in Canada: your information is also processed outside Canada, including in the United States, where government authorities and courts may access it under local law.

What we don't do

• We do not sell your personal information or share it for advertising.
• We do not build advertising or behavioural profiles.
• We do not make automated decisions about you.

Your rights

To exercise your data rights, write to us. We do not charge a fee, and we ask for identity information only as needed to handle the request securely.

If you are in California

You have the right to know what personal information we collect and why, and to have it corrected or deleted.

We do not sell or share your personal information, as those terms are defined in the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, and have not done so in the preceding twelve months, so we do not provide a sale or sharing opt-out link. We do not use sensitive personal information for any purpose that would give you a right to limit it. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

If you are in Canada

Under PIPEDA you can ask what personal information we hold about you and how we have used it, challenge its accuracy, and ask us to correct it. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

Write to hello@climberoo.com. We answer within the time the law where you live allows.

Children

This site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has written to us, tell us and we will delete it.

Changes

We update the date at the top of this page when we make a material change.
