1. Who is responsible
The controller under the GDPR is the person named in the legal notice above. Write to the email address there for anything about your data.
2. What this site does
You can hang a prayer flag. A language model, the machine, then reads its words on the schedule you choose. No person reads them, and the site never shows them, not even to you. You can also move the mouse to send wind across the page; that wind stays in your browser and is never sent to us.
3. What we store when you hang a flag
- The flag's colour, print and schedule, which everyone can see on the mountain.
- The words and the name you enter. We store them encrypted. Only the machine reads them, at each reading.
- A one-way hash of a random key that your browser makes and sends once, with the flag. With the key, your browser can take the flag down again.
- The time you gave your consent.
- A receipt for each reading: its time, the number of tokens and how long it took. A receipt never holds the words.
We do not ask for your name, email address or an account. The name field is optional; "someone" works.
4. Why we may do this
We store the flag to give you the service you ask for (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR). Words of a prayer can say something about religious or philosophical beliefs, which the GDPR protects specially. So we only read them with your explicit consent (Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR), which you give with the tick box before you hang the flag.
5. Who reads the words
The machine is a language model that runs on our own server. We do not send your words to any outside AI service.
6. How long we keep it
- The words and the name are deleted at the flag's last reading.
- You can take the flag down at any time, from the browser that hung it: open the flag and choose "take my flag down". This deletes the flag, its words and its receipts at once.
- After the last reading, the flag and its receipts stay for 90 days, without words, and are then deleted.
7. Hosting
The site is delivered by Cloudflare, Inc., which also connects our server to the internet. To deliver a page, Cloudflare processes technical connection data such as your IP address. When you hang a flag, its words pass through Cloudflare on the way to our server, encrypted in transit; Cloudflare handles them as our processor and does not store them for us. Cloudflare may process data outside the EU. See Cloudflare's privacy policy. We have a legitimate interest in a site that loads fast and safely (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Our own server does not store visitors' IP addresses; it logs only failed requests, for one day.
8. Weather, fonts, tracking
The wind on the page follows the real wind at Mount Everest. Our server asks Open-Meteo for it; your browser does not contact Open-Meteo. The fonts come from this site. There is no tracking and no analytics, and the site sets no cookies.
9. Storage in your browser
Your browser keeps two things in its local storage: your day or night choice, and the keys of the flags you hung. Both stay on your device and are needed for what you asked the site to do. Your browser sends a key to us twice: once when you hang the flag, so we can store its hash, and again if you take the flag down. You can delete both in your browser's settings; the flags then stay on the mountain until their last reading.
10. Your rights
You have the right to access, correct and delete your data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability (Art. 15 to 21 GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time by taking the flag down; this does not affect the readings before. Because we store no names or accounts, we can only find your flag with the key in your browser. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority, for example the one in the country where you live.
11. Changes
When the site changes what it stores, this page changes first.
