Privacy

A plain description of what this site collects, which is very little.

Updated 11 October 2026By the Pump Terms editors

This is a reading site. You do not need an account to use it, and it does not ask for personal details unless you choose to write to the editors.

What we collect

The pages do not set cookies, run advertising, or load analytics or tracking scripts. The site does not collect names, email addresses or health details through its pages. The glossary filter works entirely in your browser and nothing you type into it is sent anywhere. The contact form does not send anything by itself: it opens your email program with a message addressed to the editors, and nothing is sent until you send it.

What third parties see

Like any website, this one is delivered by a hosting provider, and ordinary technical request data such as your IP address and browser type passes through it. The typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts, so Google also receives a standard request when a page opens. The editors do not control how those providers handle technical data, and you can read their own policies. Pages link out to public bodies as citations, and once you follow one of those links, that site's own policy applies.

If you write to the editors

If you email the editors, your address is used only to reply and, where you have found a mistake, to correct a page. Messages are not added to a mailing list, sold or shared. Please leave health details and names out of any message. The contact page explains what the editors can and cannot help with.

Changes

If this policy changes, the update date at the top of the page changes with it. The about page explains who runs the site.

In short

No accounts, no advertising, no analytics, and nothing leaves your device through the contact form until you send it yourself.
