+        This is a plain-language summary of how {SITE.name} handles your data. The short version: we collect
+        as little as possible, we don't sell anything, and there are no user accounts.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>No accounts, no logins</h2>
+      <p>
+        You can read everything without signing in. The in-browser writing tool at <code
+          >/write</code
+        > runs entirely in your browser — what you type stays on your device, and nothing is sent to us
+        until you choose to download it and submit it by pull request, issue, or email.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>Analytics</h2>
+      <p>
+        We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic — which pages are read, roughly
+        where visitors come from, and what devices they use. It's loaded through Google's Consent
+        Mode, so analytics cookies are only set after you accept them. We use this to improve the
+        site, not to identify you personally, and we never sell or share this data.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>Cookies</h2>
+      <p>
+        We store your consent choice so we don't ask on every visit. Analytics cookies are only set
+        if you accept. You can clear these at any time through your browser settings.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>Third parties</h2>
+      <p>
+        The site is served as static files by our host, and fonts are self-hosted (no third-party
+        font requests). If comments or discussions are enabled, they are powered by GitHub and
+        subject to <a href="https://github.com/site/privacy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"
+          >GitHub's privacy policy</a
+        >. Google Analytics is subject to <a

+          target="_blank"
+          rel="noreferrer">Google's privacy policy</a
+        >.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>Your author profile</h2>
+      <p>
+        If you contribute an article, the author details you choose to share — name, bio, and any
+        links — are published on your profile page. Share only what you want public; anything you
+        leave out simply won't appear.
+      </p>
+
+      <h2>Contact</h2>
+      <p>
+        Questions, or want your data or a contribution removed? Email <a

+        >.
