Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 8, 2026

Who we are

Pivode builds interactive data tools and curated datasets. This policy covers all pages on pivode.github.io, including our interactive experiences like "The World When You Were Born."

What we collect

We collect minimal data:

• Analytics: We use GoatCounter, a privacy-friendly analytics service that does not use cookies and does not track you across sites. It collects aggregate page views, referrer, browser, and country. No personal information is stored.
• Inputs you provide: When you use our interactive tools (e.g., entering a birth year or name), this data is processed entirely in your browser. We do not send it to any server or store it anywhere.
• Local storage: Some tools save your preferences (like your name) in your browser's local storage so they persist between visits. This data never leaves your device.

Advertising

We may display ads through third-party ad networks, including Google AdSense. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Specifically:

• Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your visit history. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your browsing activity. You can opt out of third-party cookies for advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices.

Affiliate links

Some pages contain affiliate links to third-party services. If you click through and make a purchase or sign up, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These links are clearly placed within the content and do not affect the data or recommendations shown.

Cookies

Pivode itself does not set cookies. However, third-party advertising services (such as Google AdSense) may set cookies on your browser. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Third-party services

We use the following third-party services:

• GoatCounter (analytics) - privacy policy

Children's privacy

Our tools are general-audience and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Data retention

We do not store any personal data on our servers. All interactive tool inputs are processed client-side. Analytics data is retained by GoatCounter in aggregate form.

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date above.
