Privacy

Last updated 13 November 2026. This page describes what the site and its providers do with data today. It is current practice, not a claim that every requirement in every country is met.

Reading the wiki

The wiki is a static website served by Cloudflare. It has no accounts, no comments, no forms that store data, and no payments. The code sets no cookies and runs no analytics, advertising or social embed scripts. The advertising space on page layouts is an empty placeholder.

Like any web host, Cloudflare receives your IP address, the page you asked for and your browser's standard request headers. That is needed to deliver the page and to block abuse. The project has no analytics view of readers and does not combine those logs with anything else. Cloudflare's own handling is described in its privacy policy.

Search

Search uses Pagefind. Your browser downloads a search index from this site and matches your words locally. The words you type are not sent to a search provider, and they are not logged by the project.

Mail you send to a worldswritten.com address

Mail to contact@, corrections@ or privacy@ passes through Cloudflare Email Routing, which forwards it to a Gmail inbox run by the editors. Replies leave through Resend. A message therefore passes through Cloudflare, Google and Resend on its way in or out, and each of them handles it under its own terms.

What the editors see is the address you write from, what you write and any attachment you add. We use it to answer you, to fix the page or the image you wrote about, and to keep a record of decisions about the wiki. We do not add you to a list, send you anything else, or pass your message to another party.

There is no fixed deletion date. A message is kept while your request is open and while the record matters to a page or an image decision, then removed. Write to privacy@worldswritten.com if you want it deleted sooner, and we will delete what we are not obliged or entitled to keep. The same address works for a copy of what we hold, or for correcting it.

Contributions through GitHub

The repository is private at the moment, so only invited collaborators can read it or use issues and pull requests. If it opens to the public, GitHub handles accounts, issues, pull requests and commit metadata, and the maintainers receive and review what you submit. A public submission can reveal your username, its contents and its commit metadata, so leave out anything you would not want public.

GitHub describes its own processing in its privacy statement, and its commit email settings explain how to keep a private commit address.

Nothing else is connected

There is no newsletter, no shop, no support platform and no membership. Images, fonts and scripts come from this site. If analytics, advertising or any other service is added later, this page is updated before that service goes live, together with whatever consent control it needs.

Asking about your data

Write to privacy@worldswritten.com and say what you want: a copy, a correction, a deletion, or an explanation of something on this page. A volunteer editor reads it and replies from the same inbox. If you think the answer was wrong or incomplete, say so in the same thread and a second editor will look at it.

Do not open a public GitHub issue for a privacy request. The Legal notice lists the other contact routes and how copyright complaints are handled.
