Privacy

Privacy should be plain.

The Signal is meant to be inspectable without turning the reader into a product. The site uses Google Analytics so the maintainer can see whether people are reaching and using the system, while avoiding ad pixels, heatmaps, session recording, and intentional cross-site ad tracking.

Analytics

As of May 26, 2026, Logos-Signal.org uses Google Analytics 4 with measurement ID G-5FENEKNWBP. Google Tag Manager is not intentionally used, and GA ad personalization signals are disabled in the site configuration.

Analytics may collect page views, in-app section views, referring pages, package download clicks, starter-prompt copy events, outbound-click counts, approximate region, browser type, device type, screen information, and basic performance or engagement signals. Google may also process technical information such as IP address and user agent to provide analytics, security, and geographic reporting.

This helps answer plain stewardship questions: Are people finding the site? Which sections are being used? Are visitors opening the Signal Package, downloading it, and copying the starter prompt? Which pages are confusing, ignored, or worth improving?

The site does not intentionally run ad pixels, remarketing tags, heatmaps, session replay tools, or fingerprinting scripts. Analytics data is used to understand and improve the site, not to sell reader data or build an advertising audience.

Cookies and browser storage

Google Analytics may set first-party analytics cookies or similar identifiers so visits and basic engagement can be measured over time. These are analytics identifiers, not first-party advertising cookies set by The Signal.

Some local browser storage is also used to make the site work better on your device. This may include theme choice, Bible translation choice, evidence-viewer layout preferences, detail zoom level, debug toggles, beta-note dismissal, or temporary beta-access state.

Local preference values are stored in your browser through localStorage or sessionStorage. They are not meant to identify you across other websites.

Third-party services and links

The site uses local fonts and local visual assets where practical. The main app includes an optional machine-translation widget that loads from GTranslate when the Settings translation panel is opened. If you use that tool, your browser may contact GTranslate's servers, and their own privacy practices may apply.

Some links leave Logos-Signal.org, including BibleGateway for Scripture reading and PayPal for donations. Those sites are separate services with their own policies. The Signal does not use those links for ad targeting.

Contact email

If you send an email to contact@logos-signal.org, the address and message are used to read and respond to your note. Contact emails are not sold, rented, added to an ad audience, or used for cross-site tracking.

Server logs

Like most websites, the hosting provider may keep basic server logs for security, abuse prevention, debugging, and reliability. Logs may include IP address, request path, time, browser user agent, referrer, and status code. These are used to keep the site available and troubleshoot problems.

Updates

This page should stay aligned with the actual site. If analytics, cookies, scripts, or third-party services change, this notice should be updated with the same plainness expected everywhere else in The Signal.
