A quiet website,
by design.

Penultimatology is a personal, noncommercial site. It is designed for reading—not for profiling its visitors.

Information this site does not collect

Penultimatology does not use advertising, visitor analytics, behavioral tracking, a mailing list, public user accounts, or public comments. It does not sell or rent personal information.

Hosting and technical records

The site is hosted using OpenAI Sites and Cloudflare infrastructure. Those service providers may process ordinary technical information—such as an IP address, browser details, request time, requested page, and security information—to deliver, protect, and troubleshoot the site.

Cookies and authentication

Public reading does not require an account. The private editor is available only to the site owner and uses ChatGPT authentication. Any cookies used for that area are necessary for sign-in, security, and maintaining the authenticated session; they are not used for advertising or visitor profiling.

External links

Posts may link to other websites. Those sites operate independently and have their own privacy practices. Following an external link may allow that site to receive information from the visitor’s browser.

Content concerning individuals

This archive contains personal essays and historical material that may mention identifiable people. A person with a reasonable question or correction concerning material about them may contact Steven Davis at stevendavis1956@me.com.

Changes to this notice

This notice will be updated if the site later adds features such as analytics, comments, subscriptions, contact forms, sales, or public accounts.
