# Privacy Policy — highsignal.sh

**Effective Date: September 2026**

highsignal.sh is designed from the ground up to respect reader privacy. Our mission is to provide high-signal artificial intelligence news without surveillance capitalism, third-party advertising trackers, or user profiling.

## No Reader Tracking or Analytics Cookies
We do not use advertising cookies, behavioral tracking pixels, cross-site trackers, or third-party fingerprinting scripts. You do not need to create an account, provide personal contact details, or log in to read any story, briefing, or video summary on highsignal.sh. All public reading endpoints are open and free to all humans and automated agents.

## Server Logs & Request Diagnostics
When you visit highsignal.sh, our hosting infrastructure records standard HTTP request metadata necessary for network routing, security filtering (such as DDoS mitigation), and content negotiation (such as serving Markdown to AI agents via Accept: text/markdown). These logs include the requested URL, timestamp, IP address, user agent, and HTTP referrer. We do not sell, rent, or monetize server log data, and logs are retained only as long as strictly necessary for platform reliability and security diagnostics.

## Third-Party Content & Video Embeds
To help readers understand AI research, we occasionally feature video presentations and interviews. Video embeds on highsignal.sh are hosted via YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain (youtube-nocookie.com), which restricts YouTube from setting persistent tracking cookies until a reader explicitly chooses to play the video. Clicking an external source citation will take you to the primary publisher's site, subject to their independent privacy terms.

## Reader Rights & Privacy Inquiries
Under data protection laws worldwide (including GDPR and CCPA/CPRA), you have rights regarding your personal data. Because we do not operate user accounts or maintain profiles, we retain virtually no personal information about individual readers. If you have questions about our privacy practices, please contact our data protection liaison at privacy@highsignal.sh.
