<h2 id="collect-heading" class="section">What We Do/Don’t Collect</h2>
|
||
<details class="block">
|
||
<summary>We collect <em>nothing</em> about you</summary>
|
||
<p>
|
||
We don’t store IP addresses, user-agent fingerprints, unique identifiers, emails, names—none of it. There’s no telemetry or “anonymous crash reports.”
|
||
</p>
|
||
</details>
|
||
<details class="block">
|
||
<summary>What exists briefly so the internet works</summary>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Every time you open a page, your browser and Poke’s server exchange a small amount of technical data — this is simply how the web works.
|
||
Without this back-and-forth, pages couldn’t load, images wouldn’t display, and requests wouldn’t reach the right place.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
When your browser requests a page, the server (which uses <strong>Nginx</strong>) momentarily processes information such as your IP address, the requested URL, the response code, and the time it took to deliver the page.
|
||
This data is known as <em>connection metadata</em> — it’s automatically generated by all web servers as part of the HTTP standard.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
These minimal details may briefly appear in <strong>Nginx access logs</strong>.
|
||
Such logs are necessary for the server to function correctly — for example, to detect broken routes, prevent abuse, monitor uptime, or fix routing bugs.
|
||
However, on Poke’s primary instance, these logs are kept for the shortest technically feasible duration and are not linked to any personally identifying data.
|
||
They exist purely for operational health and security — never for tracking or analytics.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
No cookies, user-agents, browser fingerprints, or other identifiers are stored or analyzed.
|
||
Once the request is processed, the transient connection data fades away — leaving no persistent record that can be used to identify you.
|
||

<details class="block">

<section id="openstreetmap" aria-labelledby="osm-heading">

<h2 id="osm-heading" class="section">OpenStreetMap</h2>
|

<p>
|

Poke Maps uses data from <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">OpenStreetMap</a> — a community-driven, free-licensed world map built by thousands of volunteer contributors.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
When you visit <a href="/map">/map</a>, Poke displays OpenStreetMap through a simple <strong><iframe></strong> element embedded directly into the site.
|
||
This means the map interface and tiles (streets, landmarks, terrain, etc.) are loaded from OpenStreetMap’s own tile servers rather than from Poke’s infrastructure.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Poke does not proxy or modify these map requests — your browser connects directly to the third-party domain
|
||
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">openstreetmap.org</a>
|
||
(and its associated tile servers) in order to display the map visuals.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
While Poke itself does not collect or log any identifying information about your visit to the map, OpenStreetMap’s servers may process standard connection details (such as IP address, timestamp, and request type) as part of normal web delivery.
|
||

<p>
|

Our translate page does <strong>not</strong> send your data directly to Google or SimplyTranslate.org from your browser.
|
||
Instead, all requests are proxied through our own backend servers.
|
||
When you use the page, only the necessary parameters are passed securely on the server side:
|
||
<code>from</code> (source language), <code>to</code> (target language), and <code>text</code> (the content you entered).
|
||
Your browser never connects to SimplyTranslate.org directly.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
We rely on the community-run
|
||
<a href="https://simplytranslate.org/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">SimplyTranslate</a> service (a privacy-friendly
|
||
translation front-end). SimplyTranslate is a <strong>free software</strong> project: you can see the

When you request any resource from the Poke API (for example: thumbnails, API endpoint) information about the request may be logged.

<li>the time the request was made</li>

<h2 id="gdpr-heading" class="section">Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR / EU Law)</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The Poke Project and its primary instance (<span class="mono">poketube.fun</span>) operate under the jurisdiction of the
|
||
<strong>European Union</strong> and comply with the principles of the
|
||
<strong>General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)</strong> (Regulation (EU) 2016/679).
|
||
The project’s hosting structure is based in <strong>Germany</strong>, where data protection is taken seriously.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Legitimate interest:</strong> Operating the Poke service safely and efficiently while collecting <em>no</em> personal data whatsoever.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Consent:</strong> If one day we add an optional feature that needs personal information, you’ll be clearly asked — not tricked — before it’s ever processed.
|
||
Currently, no such data collection exists.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Legal obligation:</strong> Even if an authority asks for user data, there’s nothing to hand over.
|
||
We don’t store IPs, cookies, or user identities — so there’s nothing to surrender under German or EU law.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This section is here for compliance transparency only — Poke simply doesn’t process or retain personal data in the first place.

||

<!-- Your Rights -->
|
||
<section id="your-rights" aria-labelledby="rights-heading">
|
||
<h2 id="rights-heading" class="section">Your Privacy Rights</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Because Poke doesn’t collect or store personal info, there’s really nothing about you that we can give, sell, or lose.
|
||
You won’t need to ask for “export my data” or “delete my profile” — we just don’t have any of it.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Poke accounts don’t require your name, email, or any identifying detail — you literally can’t add them even if you tried.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
But outside Poke, you *do* have rights and tools to protect your privacy. Here are a few ideas (because yes, we want you safe):
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Use a privacy-respecting search engine — e.g. <a href="https://duckduckgo.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DuckDuckGo</a> — so your queries aren’t logged everywhere.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Run browser extensions that block trackers, fingerprinting, and sketchy scripts.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Use HTTPS whenever possible, avoid sketchy public WiFi, and keep your OS/browser updated.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Check device permissions (camera, mic, location) and revoke ones you don’t use.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Use a VPN or encrypted connections when youre on public or untrusted networks —
|
||
we recommend <a href="https://mullvad.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mullvad VPN</strong></a>,
|
||
a privacy-respecting provider that doesnt require personal info or keep logs.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Opt out of analytics/tracking — for example, install the
|
||
<a href="https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Google Analytics opt-out add-on</a>.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Use a content blocker like <a href="https://ublockorigin.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>uBlock Origin</strong></a> — its free software and amazing at killing ads and trackers.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Try <a href="https://privacybadger.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Privacy Badger</strong></a> (by EFF) — it automatically spots and blocks trackers that dont respect your privacy.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Consider <a href="https://www.ghostery.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Ghostery</strong></a> — another good tracker-blocker that shows whos trying to spy on you.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Use browsers built around privacy — <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Firefox</strong></a> (and forks) is a strong pick.
|
||
Also, <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/focus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Firefox Focus</strong></a> for mobile blocks trackers by default.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
Explore privacy tool directories like <a href="https://www.privacytools.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>PrivacyTools.io</strong></a> — they list secure, community-vetted apps and services.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p style="margin-top:1em;">
|
||
These steps won’t make u invisible, but they shift the balance in ur favor. You deserve control over ur own data — always.
