Privacy.
A straightforward guide to
how this site works.
Reading the site
You don’t need an account to read The Pin Authority. The website does not include its own analytics trackers, advertising scripts, or newsletter sign-up form.
Your theme preference
If you switch between light and dark mode, the site saves that choice in your browser’s local storage. It stays on your device and is used to remember your reading preference. Clearing site data removes it.
Search
Story search runs in your browser. Search words appear in the page address so you can bookmark or share a search. Don’t put private information in a search or a shared link.
Hosting and external links
This website is hosted on Vercel. When you visit a website, its hosting service receives information needed to deliver the page, such as your IP address and the requested address. See Vercel’s privacy policy for information about its services.
Photo-credit links, source links, and feed readers may take you to other services. Those services have their own privacy practices.
Photographs
Photographs included with this design are served with the site, not embedded from a social-media widget. The photo credits identify the photographers and original sources.
