Privacy policy

Effective September 28, 2026.

scourgeweb.org operates Scourge Web. This policy explains how information is handled when you read the site or contact us. Questions can be sent to info@scourgeweb.org.

Reading the site

You do not need an account to read Scourge Web. The site does not provide user accounts, comment forms, newsletter sign-ups, or online payments. We do not use advertising trackers or site analytics.

The site is hosted by Vercel. Hosting and security systems may process technical information needed to deliver pages and protect the service, such as your IP address, requested address, browser details, request time, and error information. These systems have their own retention and security controls. We do not claim that browsing is anonymous or that no technical records are created.

Page delivery and third parties

Pages use the AMP framework. Your browser may request framework files from Google's AMP content delivery network. Those requests disclose technical connection information to the service receiving them. Images are served with the site rather than embedded from product websites.

We do not intentionally set advertising or analytics cookies. Your browser, hosting security services, or services you visit through links may handle information under their own policies.

If you contact us

If you send email, your message, address, and any details you include may be used to answer your request and maintain the correspondence. Do not send passwords, payment details, or other sensitive information.

We retain correspondence only as needed to handle the matter and meet applicable obligations. You can ask about information you have sent using the contact address above. We may need enough information to verify and respond to a request.

Links to other websites

Articles link to product websites and supporting resources. Those sites operate separately and may collect information when you visit them. Their own privacy policies apply. A link does not give Scourge Web control over their practices.

Editorial identity and assistance

Rowan Ellis is a synthesized editorial identity, and the portrait is generated. AI tools assist with research, drafting, illustrations, and site production. We do not present invented purchases, personal tests, or credentials as facts. Product images and conceptual illustrations serve different purposes; illustrations are not evidence of product testing.

Product links and commissions

The site's current product links are not affiliate links. If commission-bearing links are added later, the relevant articles will identify that relationship, and this policy will be updated. A potential future commission is not a current affiliate relationship.

Your choices

You can read without submitting personal information. You can also manage browser storage and restrict third-party requests through your browser settings, though some restrictions may affect page features.

Privacy rights depend on the laws that apply to you and the information involved. Contact us with a request concerning information you have provided. This policy does not limit rights available under applicable law.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page when the site's practices change. The effective date will reflect the latest revision.
