Anomalica is designed to respect visitor privacy. This page explains what data is collected, how it is used, and what rights visitors have.
Analytics
Anomalica uses Umami, a privacy-respecting, open-source web analytics tool. Umami does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not fingerprint devices.
The following aggregate data is collected:
- Pages visited
- Referring website (where you came from)
- Country-level location (derived from IP address, which is not stored)
- Browser type and screen size
This data is used to understand how the site is used and to prioritise content. It cannot be used to identify individual visitors.
Umami is self-hosted - the project runs its own instance and reaches it through Anomalica’s own domain, rather than handing data to a third-party analytics service. No analytics data is shared with third parties.
Cookies
Anomalica does not set cookies. A visitor’s dark mode and unit preferences are stored in the browser’s local storage. This data never leaves the visitor’s device and is not accessible to Anomalica.
Contact form
The contact form relies on two third-party services, both based in the United States:
- Cloudflare Turnstile provides spam protection. When the contact page loads, Turnstile receives your IP address and signals about your browser and how you interact with the page, and uses them to tell human visitors from automated traffic. Cloudflare states that Turnstile does not use this data for cross-site advertising or tracking. Turnstile runs only on the contact page.
- Resend delivers the message. When you submit the form, the name, email address, and message you enter are sent to Resend, which transmits them as an email to the project. Your email address is set as the reply address so the project can respond.
No contact-form data is stored on the site itself; these services process it only to provide spam protection and email delivery. If you would prefer not to use them, you can reach the project through the GitHub routes listed on the contact page instead.
Consent
Because Anomalica does not use cookies and does not collect personal data, no consent banner is required under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the ePrivacy Directive. Visitors are not tracked, identified, or profiled.
Fonts
Typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts, which may log requests according to its own privacy policy. Apart from Google Fonts, no third-party services are loaded on any page, with one exception: the contact form page loads Cloudflare Turnstile (see Contact form below).
Knowledge graph
The downloadable knowledge graph contains information extracted from publicly available source documents. It does not contain personal data about site visitors.
Data subject rights
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), individuals have the right to access, rectify, and erase their personal data. Because Anomalica does not collect personal data, there is no data to access, rectify, or erase.
If you believe Anomalica holds personal data about you, or if you have questions about this policy, contact privacy@anomalica.is.
