Privacy, by design and by default.

1. Who this policy is for

This policy covers the NOOP website (the pages you are reading now, served at noop.fans and mirrored on GitHub). NOOP is an independent, open-source project run by a small team. We are the people responsible for this site and for the project. You can reach us at the address at the bottom of this page.

The NOOP applications for macOS, Android and iPhone are separate from this website. They are designed to run entirely offline and do not send your health data to us or to anyone else. There is more on how the app handles data on the about and science pages.

2. Personal data we collect: none

We do not collect personal data through this website. To be specific, we do not:

• ask you to create an account or sign in;
• run analytics, audience measurement, heatmaps, or session recording;
• set advertising or tracking cookies, or use device fingerprinting;
• embed third-party widgets, social buttons, comment systems, or remote fonts that would report your visit back to another company;
• sell, rent, or share data about you, because we do not have any.

If you choose to email us, we will of course see your email address and whatever you write, and we will use it only to reply to you. We do not add you to any list.

3. Cookies and local storage

This site uses no cookies at all. It does use a small amount of your browser's localStorage for two strictly functional things that never leave your device:

• noop-theme, remembers whether you chose light or dark mode, so the site opens the way you left it.
• noop-privacy-ack, remembers that you have already seen and dismissed the privacy notice, so it does not reappear on every page.

These are functional preferences, not tracking, and under UK and EU rules they do not require a consent banner. We show a short, dismissible notice anyway because we would rather be clear than quiet. You can clear both at any time by clearing site data in your browser, and nothing about the site will break.

4. Server logs

This site is served by a standard web server. Like almost every web server, it may keep short-lived technical logs (for example an IP address and the file requested) purely to keep the service running and to defend against abuse. These logs are not used to build a profile of you, are not linked to any identity, are not shared, and are kept only as long as needed for security and reliability.

5. Donations

NOOP is funded entirely by optional crypto donations. If you donate, you send directly to a public blockchain address shown on the donate page. We do not run a payment processor, do not ask for your name, card, or email, and cannot see who you are. Blockchains are public by nature, so a transaction is visible on the chain, but nothing on our side links it to you.

6. Links to other places

We link out to GitHub, to the noop.fans code mirror, and occasionally to other sites. Once you follow a link you are on someone else's property and their privacy policy applies, not ours. We have no control over how they handle your data.

7. Your rights

Under the UK GDPR, the EU GDPR, and similar laws, you have rights over personal data that an organisation holds about you, including the right to access it, correct it, or have it deleted. Because we hold no personal data about visitors to this site, there is nothing for us to access, correct, or erase. If you have emailed us and want that correspondence deleted, just ask and we will remove it.

8. Children

NOOP is a general wellbeing tool and this site is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children.

9. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top and post the new version here. Because the whole project is open source, the full history of this page is also visible in the public repository.
