Static Website
OpenFactBook is a static website. There are no user accounts, no databases storing your information, and no server-side tracking. When you visit a page, you're simply downloading pre-built HTML files.
Hosting Provider
Our website is hosted by a third-party hosting provider, which may collect standard server logs (IP addresses, request times, pages visited) as part of normal web server operations. These logs are used solely for security and operational purposes and are not used for tracking or analytics.
Children's Privacy
OpenFactBook is an educational resource suitable for all ages. Since we don't collect personal information from any visitors, we are compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
