PRIVACY NOTICE

IP Logging

The main Nicksphere mirror (nicksphere.ch) is configured not to log any IP addresses whatsoever. It does not log Gemini requests nor Web requests. It does not log IP addresses for the clearnet, Tor, nor I2P. I have no control over what the other mirrors log.

You shouldn't trust mine or anyone else's claims about IP logging. You have no way to confirm that I don't log IPs and even if I don't, there are several other ways an attacker can see that you're accessing the Nicksphere. So if privacy is important to you, use Tor or I2P.

Referrer Header

There's one more privacy concern, but it only applies to Web mirrors. HTTP supports a nasty anti-feature called a referrer header. When you click on a link, the destination website can see which website you came from.

The "noreferrer" attribute I added in the HTML prevents this on the main mirror and on SourceHut. The Flounder mirror leaks the referrer header and there's nothing I can do about it.
