Privacy
The short version: almost nothing.
No accounts, no tracking cookies
There is nothing to sign up for, no advertising, and no cross-site tracking. The site is a set of static files served from a CDN. The only code on it that does not come from us comes from Cloudflare: see Analytics and The contact form below.
What is stored on your device
One item in localStorage, called nr-theme, remembering whether you chose the light or dark theme. It never leaves your browser. Clearing site data removes it.
The translator, name tool and bind rune generator also save what you type into them to the tab's history, so that Back and reload bring it back. Like the rest of that history, it stays in your browser.
The tools
The translator, name tool and keyboard run entirely in your browser. Text you type into them is never sent anywhere. You can verify this by disconnecting from the network after the page loads; they carry on working.
Search
The search page downloads a small index file and searches it locally. Your queries are not sent to a server.
Analytics
The site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which Cloudflare adds to every page. For each page load it records the page, the site that linked to it, your browser, operating system and type of device, the country your connection comes from, and how quickly the page loaded. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device, does not record anything after the “?” in a web address, and does not fingerprint you or follow you across sites. We see only totals, never individual visitors.
Hosting logs
The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which keeps standard server logs including IP addresses for security and abuse prevention. That is Cloudflare's processing, not ours, and we do not have access to individual-level data from it.
The contact form
The contact form also loads Cloudflare Turnstile, an anti-spam check that tells a person from a bot without the puzzles: Cloudflare receives your IP address and some signals about your browser in order to make that judgement, and it runs only on that page.
What you type into the form is sent to a relay service, which checks the anti-spam token and forwards the message to us by email. Your email address is sent only if you fill that field in; it is optional, and the message arrives either way.
Outbound links
Links to external sites (databases, publishers, the Unicode Consortium) are ordinary links. Those sites have their own privacy practices.
