What this site collects
Nothing, by design. Cybersecurity Alphabet Soup has no user accounts, no sign-up forms, no advertising trackers, and no analytics scripts. The site sets no tracking cookies.
Interactive features (quiz scores and streaks, self-assessment answers, roadmap plans, tool inputs) are stored in your browser's localStorage on your own device. That data is never transmitted to this site or anyone else, and clearing your browser storage removes it completely.
Infrastructure logs
The site is served as static files by GitHub Pages behind the Cloudflare content delivery network. Like virtually every host on the internet, these providers process standard web request metadata (such as your IP address, browser user agent, and the URL requested) to deliver pages and protect against abuse. That processing happens under their policies, not mine:
I see aggregate, non-identifying traffic counts from Cloudflare (page views by country and page). I have no way to identify individual visitors and no interest in trying.
Fonts
Pages load typefaces from the Google Fonts content delivery network, which receives the standard request data needed to serve the font files. Details are in the Google Fonts privacy FAQ.
Outbound and affiliate links
This site links out to official standards bodies, vendors, training providers, and other resources. Once you follow a link, the destination site's privacy policy applies, not this one.
Some outbound links are affiliate links, which means a partner may credit this site for your visit using a cookie set on their site after you click. This site itself sets no tracking cookies and shares no information about you with affiliate partners; attribution happens entirely on the destination's side. For the full picture, read the affiliate disclosure.
If you email me, I use your address only to reply. It is never added to a list, shared, or sold.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version appears on this page with an updated effective date. Given how the site is built, changes should be rare and boring.
