Collect less. Explain it plainly.

This notice describes the public-beta website as it exists on the date shown above, including on-device news-interest and audio-reader controls. It does not describe planned accounts, newsletters, advertising tools, apps or submission systems because those features are not open.

Submitted data

None through the website. There are no active fields or forms that accept user information.

News-interest choices

Topics selected in Build your brief are stored only in this browser's local storage. The choices are not sent to NULLPEN, do not create an account or advertising profile, and can be erased with the Reset control or by clearing site data.

Audio-reader choices

Narrator and playback-speed preferences are stored only in this browser. NULLPEN does not infer the choice from identity, use it for advertising, or silently substitute a different narrator. Clearing site data erases the preference.

Request data

Hosting, network and security systems may process ordinary request metadata such as IP address, browser type, requested URL, timestamp and diagnostic or security signals.

Cookies

NULLPEN does not intentionally set analytics, advertising or personalization cookies in this founding build.

Analytics

No audience analytics product is intentionally enabled in this build.

Advertising

No ad network, behavioral tracker, conversion pixel or advertiser audience list is active.

The site relies on hosting, delivery and security infrastructure to return pages, maintain availability, diagnose faults and resist abuse. Those providers may process request metadata under their own service terms and technical retention controls. NULLPEN does not use that operational data in this build to create reader profiles or sell audiences.

Assets and fonts are served with the site rather than intentionally loaded from a third-party font network. Following an external link moves you to a service whose privacy practices are separate from this notice.

Request and security logs should be retained only as long as needed for delivery, abuse prevention, debugging and infrastructure obligations. Exact provider retention periods will be documented before this notice is promoted from beta to a final operational policy.

No system is risk-free. The current reduction strategy is to avoid collecting reader-submitted data until access controls, retention, deletion, incident response and rights-handling procedures are ready.

Before any feature begins collecting personal information, NULLPEN will publish an updated notice identifying the formal operator, responsible contact channel, purposes, processors, retention periods, applicable choices and a procedure for exercising data rights. Commercial and legal intake remains closed until those details are confirmed.

The service is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly solicit information from children in this preview.
