Governance

What this site knows about you

Short answer: nothing that identifies you, except what you write yourself. No account, no tracking cookie, no advertising profile. One surface receives text from you, the “Report” tab, and it is up to you whether you name yourself there. A glossary that explains the GDPR applied to AI owes it to itself to be exemplary on this point, so here is the detail, in plain words.

Today

What actually happens

Your progress

When you tick a term in a path, the information is written to the local storage of your browser, on your device. It is sent nowhere and no one but you can read it. Clearing your browser’s site data erases it for good.

What is kept: A concept identifier, the mention “seen”, a date
Where: Your browser, key lexigraph.progression.en
Sent to: No one
For how long: Until you erase it

Your answers to the questions

They are not recorded at all. The verdict is computed in the page, then forgotten on reload.

The typefaces

They are served from this site, along with the other files. No request goes out to a third-party service to display them, so your IP address is exposed to no one other than the host of this page.

Audience measurement

It is live, and it is without cookies and without identifiers: nothing is stored on your device, and nothing makes it possible to recognise you from one visit to the next. What is counted: the pages displayed, the domain you arrived from if it is external to this site, and 21 named actions: a run of questions taken to the end, an instruction copied, a plate downloaded. They are counted by volume, and nothing ties them to a person or to a visit: the site knows that ten instructions were copied, it knows neither which ones nor by whom.

What is kept: A page path, an action name, a date
Where: With this site’s host, which counts them for itself alone
Shared with: Nobody: no ad network, no social platform
What is read from it: Totals: a number of views per page, a number of actions per name

Your reports

Every entry, frontier, infographic, practice and path carries a “Report” tab. What you write there is sent and kept: it is the only surface of this site that receives text from you. Before sending, the panel shows in plain words what will go with your message, and nothing is added along the way: the kind of page, its title, its reference and its address. The email address is optional, and without it a report stays anonymous: it will be read and handled, but it cannot receive a reply.

Purpose: To correct the page reported, and to reply to you if you left an address
Legal basis: Your consent, given by the act of sending
What is kept: Your message, the page it designates with its reference, the language read, and your address if you gave one
Where: With the host of this site, in a store reserved for reports
Passed on to: No one but the person answerable for this glossary
Retention: Twelve months at most, then automatic erasure by the host

External resources

There are none: no remote font, no library, no script loaded from another domain. The one that counts the audience is served by this site like the rest, and everything your browser downloads to display this page comes from lexigraph.org.

Planned

Announced, not live yet

An anonymous count of failures per entry. That figure is not there to assess you, it serves to spot badly written entries: a question that is massively failed points to a writing defect before it points to a reader. It requires counting per entry, which the measurement above does not do: it counts actions, never their object.

A separate team bench, reserved for the members of an organisation, will be able to receive test results submitted voluntarily. It will live at another address, with its own notice: nothing you do here goes up to it.

Data controller

And your rights

The controller is The Operating Shift. Only one thing concerning you can be held here: a report you chose to send, and the address you attached to it, if any. To access it, correct it or have it erased, use the same “Report” tab, quoting the reference shown when you sent it. Everything else is on your device, and you erase it yourself by clearing your browser’s site data.
