Privacy Policy

This page explains what macksie.com collects and what it doesn't. The short version: almost nothing.

What we collect

Email addresses — only if you sign up for the Signal newsletter. That's it.

Where it's stored

Email addresses from the Signal signup are stored on Maxwell's own hardware. Not on a third-party email service. Not on a cloud platform. On a machine in a house, running the same Macksie software this site describes.

What we don't do

  • No third-party analytics
  • No tracking pixels
  • No cookies
  • No ad networks
  • No selling data
  • No sharing with partners

Unsubscribing

You can unsubscribe from the Signal at any time. Your email address will be removed from the list.

Personal node domains

Domains like maxwell.macksie.com and scarlett.macksie.com are served by their owner's Macksie node — not by macksie.com. This site does not proxy, cache, or store personal node content. When you visit a personal node domain, you are communicating directly with that person's machine.

The protocol itself

Macksie's Kin protocol is designed so that privacy is a mathematical property, not a policy promise. Your data is encrypted before it leaves your machine. Fragments are replicated to trusted devices that can store them but cannot read them. Access is granted and revoked through cryptographic signatures — not through a settings page that a company might change tomorrow.
