This page covers the anonymous visit statistics this site collects, and what happens if you record a reading of a poem. roughly80poems.co.uk has no advertising, and doesn't sell or share any data.
Visit statistics
The site uses Plausible to see how many people visit and which pages are popular. It doesn't use cookies, doesn't collect anything that identifies you personally, and doesn't track you across other websites.
If you send in a recording
You give your name and email address, and can give a nickname. Your name and email address are never shown on the site - they exist only so there's a real person behind each recording, and so you can be sent a private link to manage it.
Your nickname is shown publicly next to your recording, but only if it's approved and published.
What happens to it
- Your recording is sent for review. It isn't published automatically - every recording is listened to first.
- You'll get an email with a private link. That link lets you confirm your email address, listen back to your recording, and delete it, at any time - even after it's been published.
- If you never confirm your email address, the recording is deleted automatically after 7 days.
- If you tick the box agreeing to it, and your recording is approved, it's published and plays publicly on that poem's page. If you don't tick that box, it's only ever used for review and is never played publicly.
- Deleting your recording - by you, or by the site - removes it and your name and email address completely. Nothing is kept afterwards.
Other services involved
The confirmation email is sent using Sender.net, a transactional email service. Sending a recording also asks Cloudflare Turnstile to confirm you're not a bot - Cloudflare sees your IP address and some technical details about your browser for that check, the same as any website using it.
Getting in touch
If you have a question about a recording you sent in, or want something deleted and can't find your private link, just reply to the confirmation email you were sent.
