Privacy

No accounts

LearnGrok has no sign-up, no login for readers and no user profiles. You can read every page without identifying yourself.

What is stored

If you use the suggestion form, the fields you fill in are stored: the title, the link, your one-line description, the type you picked and, only if you choose to add it, a name. The form does not ask for an email address. Submissions are reviewed by a person and are not published automatically.

Sponsors

If you request a sponsor slot, we store what you put in that form: company name, the link, the logo you upload and a contact email address. The email is used to talk to you about the slot and is never shown on the site. Payment itself is taken by Stripe; card details never reach this site, and we see only what Stripe shows us in their dashboard.

The two counters

The home page shows how many times the site has been visited and how many times somebody has opened or used a resource. Those are two integers in a table, and that is the whole of it: no row per visit, no identifier, no cookie, and nothing about which page you were on. Your browser asks the site to add one, and the site adds one.

Nothing marks your browser for either of them, which is the other side of the same coin: one person reading ten pages is ten views, and the site has no way of telling that it was one person.

Your IP address is used for a moment to stop that endpoint being hammered; hashed with a key that exists only in memory and is thrown away when the process ends. It is never written to the database.

Analytics

The site uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages people read. It is loaded on every page and sets its own cookies; what it collects and how long it keeps it is governed by Google, not by us. We use it to decide what to write next, and we do not upload anything about you to it: no account, no email address, no identifier of our own.

Browser settings, an extension, or Global Privacy Control will stop it, and the site works exactly the same with it blocked. The two counters on the home page are separate and stay ours.

What is not stored

• No advertising or third-party marketing tags.
• No email addresses from readers; the site does not send email.
• No cross-site identifiers.

Local storage and cookies

Your light or dark theme preference is kept in your browser’s local storage. It never leaves your device and is not a cookie.

One cookie exists on the site: a session cookie set when an administrator signs in to the private admin area. Readers never receive it.

Hosting

The site is hosted on Vercel and its content is stored in a Neon Postgres database. Like any web host, those services process request data, including IP addresses, to serve and protect the site. That processing is theirs, governed by their own policies.

External links

Pages link to xAI’s sites and other third parties. Following a link takes you to a service with its own privacy practices, which this policy does not cover.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. The history of every change is public in the repository.
