Built to know almost nothing about you.
An institute that argues work should be measured — and people should not be — cannot run a website that measures its readers. This sheet states what the site processes, what it was deliberately built not to collect, and how you can check both.
One data flow.
Reading this site produces exactly one flow of information: the network request your browser makes to fetch each page. Our infrastructure provider, Vercel, Inc., serves the site and — like any web host — receives that request and keeps short-lived operational logs of it, used to deliver the pages, keep the service reliable, and protect it from abuse.
A request carries:
- IP address
- Browser user-agent
- Page requested
- Referring page, if any
- Timestamp
We do not use these logs to identify readers, build profiles, or measure audiences, and we do not attempt to re-identify anyone from them. Log retention is governed by Vercel's platform policy; the exact period and the data-processing terms with Vercel are open verification items we track internally — this sheet does not assert what it has not verified.
As of this version, the site's typefaces are served from this domain rather than from a fonts service — so not even a font request leaves this site's origin, and no third party receives your IP address in exchange for type.
Work gets measured. Readers don't.
No cookies. No analytics. No advertising. No accounts. No forms. No third-party scripts. Nothing here is sold, shared, or used to target you — there is nothing here to sell. The same discipline this institute demands of workforce systems is applied to its own front door.
Claims you can check.
Each statement below is a present-state fact about this site, verified against the deployed product on the date on this sheet. If the site ever changes, this sheet changes with it and its version number moves.
Rights, stated honestly.
Privacy laws in Europe (the GDPR and UK GDPR) and in a growing number of U.S. states — California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, and others — give you rights over personal data an organization holds about you: to access it, correct it, delete it, take a copy of it, and to opt out of its sale, sharing, or use for targeted advertising, with a right of appeal where a request is refused.
Here is the honest state of those rights against this site: because it has no accounts, no forms, and no tracking, we hold no reader records for those rights to operate on. The one flow that exists — short-lived hosting logs — is not information we can reasonably link to a named person, and we do not try. There is no sale or sharing to opt out of, and no profiling or automated decision-making of any kind. A Global Privacy Control signal is respected in the only way it can be: the processing it exists to switch off does not run here. If any of that changes, the controls the law requires will ship with the change, not after it.
- Access, correction, deletion, portability — exercisable against any record we hold; today the honest answer to "what do you hold about me" is: no reader records.
- Opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising — no such processing exists, which is why this site carries no "Do Not Sell or Share" link: California law requires that link of businesses that sell or share personal information, and we do neither.
- Appeal — if we ever refuse a privacy request, you may appeal the refusal, and the appeal route will be stated in the refusal itself. You may also complain to your supervisory authority (in Europe) or your state attorney general (in the United States) at any time.
This is a professional research site directed at working adults. It is not directed to children, and its no-collection architecture applies to every visitor equally — the site does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, children included.
When this site starts collecting, this sheet moves first.
One collection point is planned: the publication-notices list described on the Notices sheet. When it goes live it will be strictly consent-based — you type your address, we use it to send publication notices, nothing else — with its own disclosure at the point of collection, one-step unsubscribe, and a named delivery provider. This sheet will be re-versioned the day that happens.
Human Workday is an independent research and standards initiative based in Washington State, United States.
A dedicated privacy contact mailbox is being provisioned alongside the notices service, and no address has been invented to stand in for it — a printed contact that does not work is a broken promise, and this sheet does not make those. The working address will appear here when it exists. Until then, the site's no-collection architecture is itself the control: there is no reader data here awaiting a request.
Material changes to this statement change the version number in the declaration strip at the top of this sheet. This statement was prepared with technical verification against the deployed site; it is a factual description of product behavior, not a legal certification.
