Privacy.
No accounts, no forms, no cookies and no tracking. We count page views with Cloudflare's cookieless analytics. Here is the little personal data the site does touch.
Who is responsible
The controller is Ollie Castle, an individual based in Ireland, who runs rpe.guru. Contact: privacy@rpe.guru. The supervisory authority is the Data Protection Commission (Ireland).
What we process, and why
When you visit
The site is served by Cloudflare. To deliver pages and protect the site from abuse, Cloudflare processes your IP address, the page you asked for, and your browser's request headers (such as its user agent). We don't run analytics, keep our own visitor logs, or combine this with anything else. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running a working, secure website (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). Cloudflare keeps operational logs for a short time under its own terms.
Page counts
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see which pages get read. It's a small script that reports the page address, the site that referred you, your browser and device type, your country and how fast the page loaded. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device, doesn't build a profile of you or follow you across sites, and we only ever see totals. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in knowing which parts of the guide are useful (Art. 6(1)(f)). Blocking the script, for example with a content blocker, doesn't affect the site.
When you email us
If you write to an rpe.guru address, Cloudflare Email Routing forwards your message to our inbox. We use your email address and message only to reply, and delete the conversation when it's no longer needed (normally within 12 months). The legal basis is our legitimate interest in answering you (Art. 6(1)(f)).
We don't sell or share personal data. Apart from the analytics script, nothing on the site loads from a third party: fonts and code are served by us.
