Privacy

The short version: adna.network collects nothing about you. No accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no cookies, no tracking. It is a static, open-source website — and the longer version below is written so you can verify every word.

What we collect

Nothing. There are no sign-ups, no forms, no comment boxes, and no login. We run no analytics (no Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Fathom — none), set no cookies, and load no advertising or tracking pixels. Your browser makes no third-party requests when you read these pages: the fonts are served from adna.network itself, and there are no embedded widgets, iframes, or remote scripts.

The one thing stored in your browser

If you switch between light and dark mode, we save that single preference — the word theme — in your browser's localStorage so the site remembers your choice on your next visit. It never leaves your device, is never sent to us or anyone else, and you can clear it any time through your browser. That is the only thing the site stores, and it exists purely to serve you, not to identify you.

Hosting & server logs

The site is a set of pre-built static files hosted on Vercel. Like every web host, Vercel processes the standard technical metadata your browser sends with any request — your IP address and user-agent — to actually deliver the pages and to keep the service secure and available. We do not receive, store, or analyse that data ourselves, and we do not combine it with anything else. Vercel's handling of it is governed by Vercel's privacy policy.

Your aDNA vault stays yours

aDNA is an open standard for plain-Markdown, local-first knowledge vaults. A vault you build with aDNA lives on your own machine and is never pushed anywhere unless you choose to configure a remote. Nothing about your vault — its contents, structure, or the credential names it indexes — is transmitted to us by using this site or the standard. This site is documentation; it is not a service that ingests your data.

We link out to places like GitHub, the projects in the network, and the tools aDNA composes with. Once you follow a link, you are on someone else's site under their own privacy terms — we have no control over, and take no responsibility for, how they handle your data.

Questions or corrections

This is a community, open-source project. If you have a privacy question — or you think something on this page is inaccurate — open a discussion or an issue on the canonical repository and a maintainer will follow up in the open.
