Privacy

Bene vixit, bene qui latuit. We sell privacy as a way of living well, so this page is short and true.

No accounts

There is nothing to sign up for. We do not have usernames, passwords, profiles, or a database of who you are.

The conversation at the door

Your exchange with the keeper is processed to decide whether the door opens, then deleted — transcripts are purged when you pass or within about an hour of going quiet, whichever comes first. We do not keep them, train on them, or tie them to you.

What infrastructure sees

The site runs on Cloudflare. Cloudflare Turnstile checks that you are a person, and Cloudflare's systems handle requests the way any host does. We keep aggregate operational logs (error rates, model usage) without profiles of visitors.

If you buy something

Payment is Zcash via CipherPay, which is non-custodial — we never see a wallet balance, an identity, or anything beyond confirmation that the payment cleared. CipherPay receives no name or address from us.

To send you a physical thing we need an email and one of two things, never both: your legal name and a phone number, to hold it at a FedEx location, or an address to deliver it to, under whatever name pleases you. FedEx receives what it needs to deliver the parcel, and nothing more. Within a week of delivery we delete every name, address, phone number and email address on the order.

Cookies

A session cookie carries your entry pass to checkout, and the cart keeps its own cookies so it remembers what is in it. None of them says who you are. No analytics cookies, no tracking pixels, no third-party beacons.
