Privacy

Browser-local exploration with explicit storage, deletion, hosting, and external-service boundaries.

Session and local storage

Current selections use session storage. Deliberately saved comparisons and followed issues may use local storage on this browser only. There is no Finder account or cloud synchronization.

Export, import, and deletion

Export contains only user-created local records. Import validates the saved-data schema and current IDs; corrupt data is quarantined rather than loaded silently. Hard delete removes supported WS Musings local and session keys from this browser.

Optional analytics, hosting logs, cookies, and forms

WS Musings supports optional Google Analytics 4 using measurement ID G-98B0V3KHS7. Google Analytics is disabled until you affirmatively accept analytics. If accepted, WS Musings sends a coarse route family and viewport class; it deliberately does not send issue slugs, Finder combinations, group IDs, searches, query strings, fragments, saved work, names, emails, or user IDs. Google is an external provider and receives the minimized event request. The static host may separately retain ordinary request logs under its platform policy. Support payments, if configured, occur on Stripe and remain separate from Finder data.

Analytics choice and administrative limits

Use the persistent Analytics settings button to accept, decline, or change the choice. Declining prevents the Google loader from being requested. Revoking disables later analytics events and removes accessible GA cookies. WS Musings configures no automatic page views, Google Signals, advertising personalization, user ID, or content-level custom dimensions in site code. Account-level retention, data-sharing, and product-linking settings require separate owner verification and are not claimed complete by this static release.

External sources and provider boundary

Opening a cited external source sends a normal request to that publisher. Build-time model work contains research packets, not visitor selections. The deployed Finder makes no runtime OpenAI request.

Control

Use Saved to inspect, export, retry migration, or hard-delete supported browser-local records.

Universal issue expansion boundary

This v7.11 candidate contains 1,139 current-taxonomy issues across 36 categories. Newly added issue analyses are structured research frames with missing evidence recorded explicitly; they are not reviewed conclusions. Tags, similarity, pair screening, and stakeholder proximity are navigation aids only.

Research review drafts

The v7.12 deterministic evidence assessment Console is a static browser-local workflow. Draft status and note fields use wsmusings.review-console-drafts.v1 in local storage and are not written to a WS Musings server. Exporting a draft downloads a local JSON file; it does not make the draft canonical.

Review drafts, evidence IDs, issue selections, candidate IDs, search text, and note contents are prohibited analytics fields. Optional consented GA4 remains limited to coarse route family and viewport class.
