Plain-language privacy note
Small measurements. No visitor profiles.
What KML measures
KML keeps hourly aggregate counts of searches, zero-result searches, reaction opens, image copies, saves, shares, Surprise Me uses, related-reaction clicks, and Browse clicks. Each row may contain the UTC hour, an approved event type, an optional KML reaction ID, the part of the site where the action happened, a result count where applicable, and the aggregate event count.
What KML does not keep
KML analytics do not store the words visitors type into search, IP addresses, user agents, persistent visitor IDs, fingerprints, advertising profiles, cross-site tracking information, or individual event histories. KML does not create visitor accounts. The analytics table contains aggregate counts rather than visitor profiles.
Cookies and browser storage
KML does not set analytics cookies. During a browser tab’s session, it uses session storage to avoid immediately repeating the same discovery suggestions and to restore the previous homepage state after pressing Back. That session information stays in the browser and is not sent with analytics events.
Hosting and third parties
The site runs on Cloudflare Workers, and its aggregate analytics are stored in Cloudflare D1. Cloudflare necessarily processes ordinary network and request information to deliver, secure, and maintain the site, but the KML application does not write that operational metadata into its analytics database. KML does not use a third-party analytics provider.
Email, forms, and payments
KML has no account system, contact form, advertising system, or payment system. If you email contact@kiffmemelibrary.com, your address, message, and normal email metadata are processed by Cloudflare Email Routing and forwarded to a private Gmail mailbox. That email processing is separate from website analytics; the private destination address is not published.
Retention and changes
Aggregate analytics rows currently have no application-level automatic deletion schedule. Cloudflare D1 also maintains infrastructure-level recovery history through Time Travel; that is database recovery, not a KML visitor-tracking system. This page will be updated before KML changes what it collects or adds a new analytics, account, or payment service.
