Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 15, 2026
What We Collect
factjuice doesn't require accounts, emails, or passwords. We don't collect names, locations, or anything that personally identifies you.
For rate-limiting (so one person can't drain the daily fact budget), we hash your IP address with a one-way hash and store only the hash in /data/rate-log.json. The plain IP is never written to disk. Hashes roll off after the day ends.
Google Analytics is loaded on every page and records anonymous traffic data — page views, country, browser type. It does not record names or specific identities.
Cookies
One session cookie (fj_v) marks that you've visited, so the site knows not to show first-visit nudges twice. It expires after a year and contains no personal data.
Google Analytics sets its own cookies (_ga, _ga_*) for traffic measurement. No advertising or tracking cookies are set by factjuice itself.
Data Storage
The facts you squeeze are saved permanently to the public archive — that's the whole point of the site. Each fact is associated with the topic page, not with you. There is no record of which IP squeezed which fact.
Spend tracking (/data/spend-log.json) records daily AI costs in aggregate. Worker stats on /workers/ are anonymous performance counters for the AI-generation system, not user activity.
Third Parties
- Anthropic — every squeeze sends a topic name to Claude (Anthropic's AI). Anthropic's privacy policy governs that call. We don't send your IP or any user data to them, only the topic slug.
- Cloudways / DigitalOcean — our hosting. Standard web server logs (IP, user-agent, requested URL) are kept short-term for security and rotated.
- Google Analytics — anonymous traffic stats. Governed by Google's privacy policy.
- Cloudflare — sits in front of the site for caching and basic bot protection. Their privacy policy applies to that layer.
We don't sell, share, or monetize user data. There is no advertising network on the site.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense (and its partners) to serve ads on this site. Google and its third-party vendors use cookies — including the DART cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to factjuice and other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to our site and other sites on the internet. These ads may be personalized to your interests as Google understands them.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor advertising cookies via aboutads.info.
Your Rights
If you're in the EU or California and want any factjuice-related data deleted, email us. In practice we have very little to delete — there's no account, no name, no email, just a hashed IP that's already rotated out.
