Search and comparison
Directory search, category filters and comparison choices are processed locally in your browser. This site’s code does not send those values to a search service and does not store them in cookies or browser storage. It does not ask for platform usernames, passwords, payment details or identity documents.
Assets and external links
Styles, scripts, fonts and diagrams are delivered with this site. There are no embedded social widgets, remote videos or advertising pixels. Source links are ordinary links; following one opens another service governed by its own privacy practices. No affiliate identifier is appended.
Web delivery and logs
AfterDarkBrief is served by Nginx on an AlexHost VPS in Moldova, without a CDN. The server receives connection information, including an IP address, to deliver pages. Its configured access log keeps only the request timestamp, HTTP method, URL path without the query string, response status and bytes sent. IP addresses, user-agent strings and referrers are excluded from that access log. Access logs are retained for up to seven days.
Critical-error logs can contain technical diagnostics, including connection or request context, when severe failures occur. These diagnostics are separate from routine access logs. The hosting provider separately processes operational and security information under AlexHost’s privacy policy. The site’s seven-day access-log policy is not a statement about the provider’s retention.
Contact and sensitive records
For privacy questions and corrections, email info@afterdarkbrief.click. Your sender address and message content are handled through Dynadot email forwarding and Gmail/Google mail services so we can respond to the request. See Google’s privacy policy for its service processing. Email storage is separate from the seven-day Nginx access-log policy. Include only necessary information. The site has no form or document upload, and does not need your platform credentials, identity documents or payment records to answer an editorial question.
Future changes
Adding forms, analytics, advertising or account functions would change this processing model and require an updated notice. The current notice describes the functions present in this publication. Read about the publication and its disclosures for the scope of its work.
