AI Field Notes
Privacy.
This notice covers ai-fieldnotes.com. It is a plain-language summary for UK GDPR and the EU GDPR. It is not legal advice.
Who publishes this site
AI Field Notes is published by Nigel Camp, in the United Kingdom. For privacy purposes, that person is the controller of any personal data this site processes.
For privacy questions, email fieldnotes.ai.film@gmail.com.
What this site is
A static, links-only directory of public finds in AI film and craft. It does not ask you to create an account, sign a form, join a list, or send a message. It does not run advertising. It does not sell data.
What we do not collect
- No accounts, profiles, or logins.
- No contact forms and no newsletter.
- No advertising, no advertising cookies, and no tracking that follows you across other sites.
- No cookie banner, because the site does not set its own cookies.
- Nothing is stored in your browser by this site, unless you use the Turn off analytics switch below, which saves that one setting.
What still happens when you visit
The site is served by a hosting provider. As the host, it receives the ordinary request data needed to deliver each page: IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time of the request. Those logs are kept by the host under its own privacy notice.
A DNS provider answers the lookup for ai-fieldnotes.com. It is used for DNS only, so your visit to the pages doesn’t pass through it.
The type (Zodiak and General Sans, from the Indian Type Foundry’s Fontshare) is served from this site’s own files, so loading a page does not contact Fontshare.
Thumbnails. Some cards show a small image loaded straight from the maker’s or organiser’s own website, so we never copy their files. When your browser loads one, that site can see your IP address. We don’t control those sites; their own privacy notices apply. We ask browsers not to send the page you were on with those image requests.
An ambient track, Charcoal Hope, can play from a file on this site. It starts muted. Unmute is a tap you choose. The player does not identify you.
Cards link out to other sites. Those sites have their own notices. This page stops at the click.
Page counts
To see which pages are read, the site uses a privacy-friendly analytics service that doesn’t use cookies. A small script from the analytics provider measures how the page loads and is viewed, and sends that to the provider. The provider states that it stores nothing in your browser and does not fingerprint visitors. The publisher only sees totals, such as page views and visits.
If you would rather not be counted, you can object at any time: use the Turn off analytics switch below, or email the address above.
Analytics are on. Turning them off saves a setting in this browser only.
Why this processing happens
Serving the page, keeping the host secure, loading the typeface and counting page views are done on the basis of legitimate interests: running a public resource, keeping it readable, and seeing which pages are useful. No consent is asked, because the page counts set no cookies and store nothing in your browser, and you can turn them off above.
Where data goes
The hosting provider is based in the United States, and the analytics provider may process page-count data outside the UK. A maker’s site that serves a thumbnail may be outside the UK too. Those transfers sit with the providers, under their own safeguards. Apart from the page counts, this site does not send a copy of your visit to anyone else. The providers’ names are available on request from the email address above.
How long it is kept
This site holds no visitor file of its own. Page counts reach the publisher only as totals. Log retention is set by the hosting and analytics providers, not by this page.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR and, where it applies, the EU GDPR, you can ask to access, correct, erase, or restrict personal data, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interests. Portability rarely applies here, because the site does not hold a file on you. You can also complain.
In the UK, the authority is the Information Commissioner’s Office: ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint. If you are in the EU, you can complain to the supervisory authority in your country.
Because almost nothing is held here, a request will usually be a short reply saying so, plus a pointer to the relevant provider if the data sits in their logs.
Children
This site is not aimed at children, and it does not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this site starts collecting anything it does not collect today, this page will change first. Last updated .
