Security
A static, minimal, privacy-first website with a reduced attack surface.
Static Website Architecture
This website is built using static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
There is:
- No server-side application serving website content
- No database used to generate public website content
- No user account system
- No session management
- No dynamic page generation for public website content
This greatly reduces the attack surface compared to traditional web applications.
No User Accounts
This website does not support:
- User registration
- User login
- Password management
- User sessions
Because no account system exists, there are no user credentials stored by the website.
Minimal Data Collection
This website does not collect data during normal browsing.
Dataset requests are submitted through a first-party form that posts to a private API endpoint operated by MyWaypoint. If the API is unreachable, the form falls back to opening your local email client.
No request data is stored by this website. Submitted data is received and processed by our own backend infrastructure.
No Third-Party Tracking or Analytics
This website does not load:
- Analytics platforms
- Advertising scripts
- Social media widgets
- Tracking pixels
- Third-party JavaScript libraries
Reducing external dependencies helps reduce security and privacy risks.
Responsible Operations
Dataset requests are reviewed manually.
Projects are evaluated for feasibility, available sources, and legal considerations before work begins.
We communicate clearly about what can and cannot be delivered.
