Cloudflare hosts the site and processes requests, including IP addresses and technical request information, to deliver pages and protect the service. Hosting is separate from optional page analytics.

Hosting retention: this site runs no server code, analytics or logging of its own and keeps no record of visits; request data handled by Cloudflare as host is covered by Cloudflare’s own privacy policy.

International transfer arrangements: Hosting uses Cloudflare’s standard data processing terms; mail for this domain is received by Migadu.

Lawful basis for service and security processing: legitimate interests: running a free public information service.
