Records & Privacy
Plain-air
Privacy
A concise account of what the archive currently collects—which is very little.
Current Site
No accounts. No contact database. No custom advertising trackers.
CalculatorCalculations run in your browser. Shared inputs appear in the URL only when you choose to create a shareable link.
Specimen linksSelections use the URL hash. The archive does not send your selected specimen to a custom database.
HostingThe hosting provider necessarily processes ordinary request metadata such as IP address, device information, and requested URLs.
Correspondence
The site does not currently accept form submissions.
The reserved correspondence address is displayed for future use, but email forwarding is not yet connected. Copying the address uses your browser clipboard and does not transmit it to the Institute.
If email service is activated, the privacy statement will be updated before messages are solicited.
Future Pulse
Community data practices will be published before launch.
The planned Pulse may require accounts, display names, messages, moderation records, reports, and security logs. None of those community features are active today.
The Pulse will not launch until retention periods, deletion controls, moderation access, and participant-facing privacy notices are defined and tested.
