Privacy

Independent research by Hiveminds. Updated .

In short

Expat Checked sets no cookies and uses no analytics or tracking. The site loads nothing from other servers: fonts and images come from this site itself. You do not need to give us any personal data to read it.

Server logs

Like any web server, ours writes an access log. Each entry records the IP address, time, requested path, response status, referrer and user agent (source). We use these logs for two purposes only: to keep the site secure and working, and to study which search engines and AI crawlers visit it.

The logs are kept for about two weeks (source) and then deleted automatically.

Crawler analysis

To see how AI assistants and search engines find this research, we analyse requests from crawlers. That analysis stores the requested path, time and user agent, not IP addresses (source).
