Short version: we barely collect anything

Privacy

Last updated June 2026.

Start with Identity is a static, non-profit community site. We do not run advertising, we do not use third-party analytics or tracking pixels, and we do not build profiles of visitors. You can read the entire site without creating an account or giving us any personal information.

Cookies and local storage

We do not set tracking cookies. The only thing we store is a small theme preference (light or dark mode) saved in your own browser's local storage so the site remembers your choice. It never leaves your device and is not shared with anyone.

Server logs

Like any website, our hosting provider may process standard technical request data (such as IP address, browser type, and the page requested) to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. We do not use this data to identify or track individuals.

Email and corrections

If you email us at [email protected], we use your message only to respond and to improve the site. We do not sell or share your email, and we keep correspondence only as long as needed.

Newsletter

A newsletter is planned. If and when it launches and you choose to subscribe, we will use your email address solely to send those updates, never sell it, and you will be able to unsubscribe at any time. We will update this page with any details before it goes live.

Children

This is a professional resource not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

Changes

If our practices change, we will update this page. Questions are welcome at [email protected].
