Privacy

sohamhamso is a static reader. We collect almost nothing. This page explains the small exception (opt-in email) and how to unsubscribe.

What we collect

Reading the site requires nothing. No account, no cookie wall, no tracker network. The pages you read are served as static HTML from the edge. Your IP address is visible to our hosting provider for the duration of each request, the same way every website on the public internet works, and it is not stored against your identity by us.

The one exception is the daily-verse email. If you subscribe, we store an HMAC-SHA256 hash of your address — not the plaintext email — along with your language preference and an unsubscribe token. The hash means we can deliver mail and check duplicates without keeping a usable email list at rest. We do not share or sell anything.

What we don't use

• No analytics scripts (no GA, no Plausible, no Fathom).
• No advertising or remarketing networks.
• No third-party social embeds.
• No fingerprinting, session replay, or A/B testing tools.

Unsubscribe

Every daily-verse email includes a one-click unsubscribe link tied to the token mentioned above. Following it deletes your row from the subscribers database. If you want a manual deletion instead, write to the address listed on the colophon.

Changes

If this page changes materially, the change is recorded in the public Git history of the site. The page is generated from a single source file, not a CMS, so there is no hidden version.
