What we keep about you, and why.

Reading micyte.com needs no account. The site sets no cookie and loads no analytics, advertising or social-media script.

Server logs. Like any web server, ours records each request: your IP address, the time, the page asked for and the browser's own description of itself. We use these logs to keep the site running and to count visits, and delete them after 90 days.

One preference in your browser. The almanac remembers which view you last chose, in your browser's local storage. It stays on your device and is never sent to us.

To open an account we ask for your first and last name, your email address, a phone number, a mailing address, whether the account is personal or for an organization, and the organization's name if it is. We use them to open your account, to sign you in, to reach you about your account, and to place your account in its town on the network. Your street address and phone number are not published; only the town is used on the network. We do not send marketing email unless you subscribe to it.

Signing in. Your password is checked by our sign-in server and is stored only as a one-way hash, never as the password itself. Once you are signed in, one cookie keeps you signed in on micyte.com. It is sent only over HTTPS, to this site only, and it is not used for anything else.

A hosted instance holds whatever you and the people you admit put in it: documents, files, records, a website. We store it on our servers so that we can provide the service. We do not look through it except to run, back up and repair the service, or when you ask us to. We never use it for advertising and we never sell it.

Paid plans. A card is typed into Stripe's own fields, so the card number goes to Stripe and never to us. We keep Stripe's reference to the card and the record of what was billed. Stripe's card form sets its own cookies to prevent fraud, on the page where you enter a card and nowhere else on this site.

The app signs you in with the same account, through your phone's own sign-in sheet, and shows your hosted instance. It keeps the sign-in in your device's secure keychain. It collects nothing beyond what your account and your instance already hold. It does not track you across other apps or websites, it carries no advertising, and it contains no third-party analytics.

The map, the directory and the open channels show public information about farms, markets, businesses and organizations: a name, what kind of place it is, its website and where it is. A personal account is not listed there unless you add a profile yourself. If an entry is about you and is wrong, or you want it removed, ask us and we will correct or remove it.

Amazon Web Services runs our servers, in the United States, and delivers our email. Stripe takes card payments. Each handles your information only to do that for us. We also disclose information when the law requires it. We never sell your information, and we never share it for advertising.

We keep your account and your instance for as long as your account is open. When you delete your account, we delete your sign-in and your instance's data within 30 days. Billing records that tax and accounting law require us to keep are kept for as long as that law requires, and server logs are deleted after 90 days.

You can ask us for a copy of what we keep about you, ask us to correct it, or delete your account. Deleting your account is explained on the support page. We answer every request, and we do not charge for any of them.

Children. MiCyte is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, tell us and we will delete it.

Changes. If this policy changes, we will post the new version here with its date. If a change affects what we do with information we already hold, we will tell account holders by email first.
