Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 4, 2026

Introduction

Pupilla (“we”, “our”, or “us”) operates the website pupilla.org. This page explains what personal data is processed when you use the site, why, and what choices you have.

Information We Collect

If you click “Accept All” in the cookie banner, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This service may collect:

If you click “Reject”, or make no choice, Google Analytics is not loaded and none of this is collected.

Comments and Reactions

Articles and essays have a discussion section powered by giscus, which stores comments and reactions in GitHub Discussions. Loading this section contacts giscus.app (and, through it, GitHub), which can see your IP address and browser details. If you choose to comment or react, you sign in with your GitHub account: GitHub then processes your data under the GitHub General Privacy Statement, and your comment is public.

Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter using the form in the page footer, your email address is sent to Buttondown, the service we use to deliver it (see the Buttondown privacy policy). We use it only to send you updates about new articles and essays. Every email contains an unsubscribe link.

Hosting

The site is hosted on GitHub Pages (United States). Like any web host, GitHub receives your IP address and standard request information when you load a page.

Fonts

The fonts used on this site are served from our own server. They are not loaded from Google or any other third party.

What is stored in your browser

The only thing we store in your browser is your cookie choice (“accepted” or “rejected”), in your browser’s local storage. If you accept analytics, Google Analytics also sets its own cookies.

How We Use Information

We use the information above to:

Data Sharing

We do not sell or trade your personal information. It is shared only with the services described above, which act on our behalf or at your initiative:

Your Choices

You can accept or reject analytics through the cookie banner. You can change your mind at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page. Using it clears your choice and removes any Google Analytics cookies, and the banner appears again.

Newsletter and Comments

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email. You can edit or delete your own comments on GitHub.

Browser Settings

You can also:

Data Retention

Google Analytics data is retained according to Google’s data retention settings. Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Comments remain on GitHub until they are deleted. We do not store other personal data on our own servers.

International Data Transfers

Our website is hosted on GitHub Pages (United States). Analytics data (if you accept), newsletter data and comment data are processed by Google, Buttondown and GitHub according to their own data processing practices, which may involve transfers outside the European Union.

Children’s Privacy

Our service is intended for academic and research purposes. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information, including:

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of any changes by posting the new policy on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
