PRIVACY / CURRENT PRODUCTION STATE
Collect less.
Say exactly what.
The shortest useful privacy policy is a product architecture: do not collect data the publication does not need.
Beacon code is ready; no production token is configured and the reach clock has not started.
No display ads, targeting pixels, affiliate tracking, or sponsor-data access are installed.
AUDIENCE MEASUREMENT
Provider named before activation.
Fourth Down Labs selected Cloudflare Web Analytics for future aggregate audience and performance measurement. Cloudflare states that the product does not collect or use visitors' personal data, does not use client-side state such as cookies or local storage for usage metrics, and can operate without moving the site behind Cloudflare.
Collection is not active today. When a production token is added, this page, the public measurement contract, and the readiness ledger must change in the same release.

A success message must mean durable capture.
The launch prototype accepted an email address, source label, subscription status, tier, and timestamps into a local D1-compatible store. On Render, that store lived inside the service container and could disappear during replacement. Email delivery was never connected.
Because prior records cannot be proven durable, the production form is now closed and the API returns an unavailable response unless a deliberate durable mode is enabled. Anyone who previously submitted should not assume the address is retained or subscribed. We will reopen only with managed storage, delivery, double opt-in, unsubscribe handling, and a named support path.

Public evidence is not an advertising profile.
Research artifacts contain football data, model inputs, statistical outputs, prompts, reviews, and integrity receipts. Newsletter addresses are not included in research evidence and are not sent to OpenRouter. OpenRouter call ledgers exclude credentials, prompt text, evidence text, and raw response text.
Advertisers will not receive unpublished evidence, subscriber records, or reader-level analytics. The commercial policy prohibits using revenue performance as a research input.
