Privacy policy
Effective 2026-09-10 · VOLO, Singapore
In one paragraph: the site collects nothing you type — no accounts, no comments. The one exception is the optional subscription form (section 5), which holds your email and the occupations you chose, and nothing else. What remains is ordinary web-server logging by our host, a cookie-free page-view counter, and a single cookie that remembers your language choice.
1. What reaches our servers
The site is served by Cloudflare. Like every web server, it sees the IP address, browser identifier, requested URL and time of each request, and uses them to deliver pages and to block abuse. We do not build profiles from these logs and we do not join them to anything else. Cloudflare's own handling of this data is described in its privacy policy.
2. Analytics without cookies
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views. It sets no cookies, does not fingerprint your browser and does not track you across sites; we see aggregated numbers per page, never a visitor. You can confirm this yourself: open your browser's storage inspector on any page of this site and you will find no analytics cookie.
3. The one cookie
If you arrive at the homepage for the first time and your browser's language setting (or, failing that, the country Cloudflare reports) points to a language we publish in, we redirect you there once and set a cookie named NEXT_LOCALE so the choice sticks. It holds only a language code, lasts one year, and is never sent to anyone else. Delete it to reset. There are no advertising or third-party cookies.
4. Third parties
Pages load no third-party scripts other than Cloudflare's analytics beacon. Fonts are served from our own domain. Evidence entries link to external sources — publishers, companies, regulators — and once you follow such a link, that site's policy applies, not ours.
5. The subscription (optional)
If you ask VOLO to follow occupations for you, we store your email address, your language, the occupations you chose, the confirmation and unsubscribe token, and the dates issues were sent — in a Cloudflare D1 database attached to our conversation service, separate from this site, which holds no database of its own. We store no name, no employment situation and no conversation. Nothing is sent until you click the confirmation link in the first email; every issue carries a one-click unsubscribe, which stops sending immediately; write to the address below to have the row deleted. Emails are sent through a transactional email provider, which sees the address and the message in order to deliver it.
6. Your rights
Under Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act and, where it applies, the GDPR, you may ask what personal data we hold about you and request its correction or deletion. Because we hold nothing tied to you, the honest answer will be "none" — but you are welcome to ask, and we will reply.
7. Changes
This page changes when the facts change — for example, if we ever add accounts or a contact form. Each version carries its effective date at the top; we do not edit it silently.
