Privacy

The short version

The small privacy notice shown on the site is a fixed message. The reader may choose to store four plain-text preferences in this browser. None is sent to Young Machines:

• aifables-animation-preference remembers whether optional illustration motion is on.
• aifables-reading-mode remembers illustrated or text-first reading mode.
• aifables-remember-place records whether the reader has opted in to saving a reading place.
• aifables-reading-place stores the most recent section identifier only while that opt-in is on.

These values remain until the reader changes the setting, uses the visible forget control, or clears site data in the browser. They contain no name, account identifier, reading history, or analytics identifier.

Hosting data

This site is hosted by GitHub Pages. GitHub states that it logs visitors’ IP addresses for security purposes when a Pages site is visited, whether or not the visitor is signed in. The operator of Young Machines does not receive or maintain those server logs.

GitHub processes hosting data under its own privacy statement. Its description of Pages data collection is available in GitHub’s Pages documentation.

Children and families

The book is written for shared reading around age ten. The site does not knowingly collect information from children or adults. There are no profiles, comments, purchases, newsletters, or direct messages on this domain.

Downloads and external links

Downloading the PDF or EPUB makes an ordinary request to the same GitHub Pages host. Links to other websites are governed by those sites’ own privacy practices.

Contact and changes

Young Machines is operated by Nell Watson. Questions about this notice can be sent through Nell Watson’s contact page. If the site later adds analytics, forms, commerce, or embedded services, this notice will be updated before those features are enabled.
