Privacy Policy

This page describes the third-party services and data practices used by arkbslabs.com, based on how the site is currently built. It is not legal advice. Contact: support@arkbslabs.com.

Website analytics (Metricool) — your choice

With your consent only, the site loads the Metricool tracking script from tracker.metricool.com to measure website traffic. Nothing is requested from Metricool until you accept. We do not use advertising pixels or remarketing. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage and you can change it at any time here.

Current choice: Not chosen

Withdrawing reloads the page so the tracker stops. Metricool's handling of data is governed by its own privacy policy.

Services used without a consent prompt

These are needed to run or display the site, and are not controlled by the analytics choice above:

  • Cloudflare Turnstile (challenges.cloudflare.com): a bot check, loaded when you use features that need it (posting a reader comment, submitting a book, or using the Mimir chat). Your browser contacts Cloudflare, and our server sends the challenge result and your IP address to Cloudflare to verify it.
  • Mimir chat: messages you send (together with up to your last 10 messages of the conversation) are sent through our backend to a third-party AI provider (Anthropic) to generate replies. Please do not enter personal or sensitive information. Our backend uses your IP address for in-memory rate limiting.
  • Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com): page fonts are loaded from Google, so your browser requests them from Google when a page loads.
  • Image hosting: many images are loaded from media.base44.com, and the QR codes in the footer are generated by api.qrserver.com (the QR content is our public social-profile links). Your browser contacts these hosts to fetch them.
  • YouTube: a book feature page may embed a video using youtube-nocookie.com.
  • Hosting and backend: the site's backend functions and data storage run on the Base44 platform.

Information you submit

  • Reader comments: the display name and comment text you enter are stored and shown publicly only after moderation approval.
  • Book submissions: author name, email, book details (title, genre, synopsis and optional links), your answers and consents, and an optional cover image upload (stored as a private file) are stored to review the submission and contact you.

Browser storage

  • Local storage: your analytics choice, and a flag that the Mimir intro was shown.
  • Session storage: a temporary Mimir chat session token that is cleared when the tab closes.

Links to other sites
