Project Broadsheet respects your privacy. This policy describes what this website (projectbroadsheet.com) collects and how it's used. If you're looking for the privacy properties of the Broadsheet framework itself, scroll to The product vs. this website.

What we collect
Contact form submissions
When you submit any form on this website — Contact, Book a Call, Quote Request, Bug Report, etc. — the information you submit is delivered to our email inbox via Web3Forms.
Submitted data typically includes your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use it only to respond to your inquiry. We do not use it for marketing without your permission.
Newsletter subscriptions
If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is stored with Buttondown, a privacy-first newsletter service that does not use open-tracking pixels or link-tracking by default.
You can unsubscribe at any time from the footer of any email. We do not sell, trade, or share your email with third parties.
Analytics
If analytics are enabled, we use Umami — a cookieless, privacy-first alternative to Google Analytics. Umami records:
- Page URL visited
- Referrer URL (the site you came from)
- Country (derived from IP, then the IP is discarded)
- Screen size and browser (aggregated)
- Anonymous session identifier (cleared at end of session)
Umami does not:
- Use cookies or local storage
- Track users across sites
- Build behavioral profiles
- Identify individuals
Local storage
We use your browser's localStorage (not cookies) to save preferences locally:
pb-theme— your light/dark mode choice
This data never leaves your device. You can clear it from your browser's site settings.
What we don't collect
- No third-party advertising trackers
- No social media pixels (Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, etc.)
- No Google Analytics, Adobe, or Mixpanel
- No cross-site tracking
- No behavioral profiles
- No sale or transfer of data to third parties
Cookies
We do not set any first-party cookies. Third-party embeds (GitHub, YouTube, etc.) may set their own cookies when you interact with them. We disclose those embeds where they appear.
Data retention
- Form submissions: retained in our email inbox until the inquiry is resolved, then archived for up to 2 years for business-record purposes.
- Newsletter subscriptions: retained in Buttondown until you unsubscribe, then fully deleted within 30 days.
- Analytics data: retained by Umami for up to 365 days, then aggregated and purged.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (GDPR, CCPA, UK GDPR, etc.), you may have the right to:
- Access the data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Delete your data ("right to be forgotten")
- Export your data in a portable format
- Object to processing
- Restrict processing
To exercise any of these, email hello@projectbroadsheet.com. We respond within 30 days.
Children's privacy
This website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has submitted data to us, contact us and we will delete it immediately.
Third-party services
This website uses a small number of third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy:
- Web3Forms — form submissions → web3forms.com/privacy
- Buttondown — newsletter → buttondown.email/privacy
- Umami (if enabled) — analytics → umami.is/privacy
- Bunny Fonts — web fonts → bunny.net/privacy (GDPR-compliant, no tracking)
- instant.page — link prefetching → no data collection, runs entirely client-side
- Cloudflare Pages — hosting → cloudflare.com/privacypolicy
Product privacy
This policy covers this website. Project Broadsheet — the framework — is something you host yourself. Its privacy behavior is controlled entirely by your configuration:
- If you enable Buttondown, Buttondown's privacy policy applies.
- If you enable Umami, Umami's privacy policy applies.
- If you enable Cusdis comments, Cusdis's privacy policy applies.
- If you enable none of those, your Broadsheet site collects nothing at all.
Self-hosted Broadsheet sites have a minimum privacy footprint by design.
Changes to this policy
We update this policy when our practices change. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be announced in our newsletter or on the blog.
