The site is provided free of charge as a personal project. It may display advertising to help cover hosting costs (see below).

This is a personal project run in spare time, so a reply may take some days. Please do not send personal identification documents or contract details by email.

This site has no user accounts, login, contact form or comment function, and does not ask you to enter personal information. The only data stored on your device is a small preference (your chosen display language) kept in your browser’s local storage; it never leaves your browser and is not sent to the operator.
