What we collect
Information you give us directly. When you submit a manifesto, report a correction, contact us, or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the information you provide — typically your name, email address, and the contents of your submission. We do not require you to create an account to use the archive.
Information we collect automatically. When you visit the site, our hosting infrastructure logs basic technical information including your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. We use this for security and to understand how the site is used.
Cookies. We use a small number of cookies, explained in our Cookie Policy.
We do not collect special personal information — including racial, political, religious, or biometric data — through the website.
