Privacy and terms: what ZeroHum collects and what the receipts are
A site about small print should have honest small print. Here is all of it, in the same plain language as the receipts.

Privacy: what we collect
Almost nothing, structurally: ZeroHum is a static site with no accounts, no comments and no pop-ups asking for your email. One analytics property — Google Analytics 4, GA4 for short — counts visits and shows us which receipts get read — itemised below, off switch included. Email us and your address gets used for the reply, then left alone. Browsing costs you nothing and tells us almost nothing.
The analytics receipt
What GA4 logs: the page, whichever site referred you, a city- or country-level location, your device and browser type, and session timing. What it doesn't: your IP address — never logged, never stored. Ad personalisation, Google signals, Google's advertising features: all switched off, so the numbers can't be spent on ads and aren't for sale. The supplier is Google LLC — Google Ireland Ltd. covers EEA and UK readers — and their side is in Google's privacy policy.
The cookies: _ga and _ga_<ID>, up to 2 years each. They only appear after analytics gets a yes, and they vanish if you switch that to a no. In Europe — EEA, UK and Switzerland, as judged by your device's time zone — the question comes first, and not a byte goes to Google before you tap Accept. Everywhere else it's on out of the box, with an off switch you can flip any time. Send Global Privacy Control and we read it as a no, unless you accept yourself. Your answer goes into local storage on your browser, not into a cookie. Changed your mind? Reset your analytics choice. Want GA gone on every site you visit? Google's opt-out add-on does exactly that.
Terms: what the receipts are
Editorial audits of vendor-published limits, correct as of the printed date on each receipt (site-wide pass: July 30, 2026). Vendors move caps without asking us; if a receipt disagrees with a vendor's current page, the vendor's page wins and we owe the reprint — tell us at [email protected].
Nothing here is professional advice beyond: read caps before relying on them. Quote us with a link; wholesale republication isn't quoting.
