Website privacy

Updated October 16, 2026

Gransee Engineering LLC operates gransee.com. Gransee LLC operates the PaOS Forge project and its website. This notice covers those sites and the browser-based PaOS simulator. The simulator is a design preview; it does not access your computer's files unless you explicitly choose a local file in a simulated feature.

Basic hosting

Netlify hosts the sites and receives ordinary web requests. Like most hosts, it may process IP address, requested page, time, browser information, and security logs to deliver and protect the service. Those requests happen whether or not you choose optional analytics.

Optional usage analytics

We offer a separate choice before loading Google Analytics 4 on the Gransee and Forge pages or the public simulator. If you select Share basic usage, Google may receive page visits, broad device and browser information, network information, a referring-site origin from a short allowlist, and limited named actions. On the simulator, these can include a chosen preview area, app opened, or broad action category. We do not send terminal input, simulated files, filenames, messages, email addresses, contact-form text, or arbitrary URLs as analytics event fields. We disable Google Signals and advertising personalization in our site tag. Analytics helps us improve the site and see which PaOS features attract interest; it is not needed to use the sites or simulator.

Your choice is stored in this browser for each site. Select Analytics choice or Usage choice to change it. Turning analytics off stops future optional events and attempts to remove first-party Google Analytics cookies; it cannot erase reports already received by Google. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals suppress our optional analytics. Browser settings can also block cookies. Google may process data under its own terms; see Google's privacy policy.

Fonts

gransee.com loads its typeface from Google Fonts, so your browser contacts Google's font servers when the page loads. Google receives your IP address and browser details for that request.

Contact and invitations

If you submit the Gransee contact form, we use your name, email address, selected service area, and message to answer you. The form is handled by a Netlify function and may deliver the inquiry to Peter through Fastmail and a brief notification through ntfy that contains no form content. That content is separate from optional analytics. The public simulator's email-link and beta-invitation functions are not currently active; if activated later, they will have their own explicit choices.

Retention and requests

We retain contact correspondence for the business relationship and any applicable legal obligations. Analytics retention follows the live Google Analytics property settings; aggregate reports may remain available longer than individual event detail. Hosting, email, and notification providers apply their own operational retention. You can ask what personal information we hold, request correction or deletion where applicable, or ask about these practices at peter@gransee.com. Please do not send sensitive information through the simulator.
