nods records the click and leaves the visitor alone.
This page lists every piece of data nods stores, for visitors and for studios.
A site that carries a credit sends nods nothing at load.
The credit is static markup in the page. Loading the page makes no request to nods and sets no cookie.
A click on a credited name stores six facts.
- The time of the click
- The project the credit belongs to
- The credited name that was clicked
- The host of the page the click came from, with its path and query removed
- A two-letter country code, worked out by the hosting provider
- A device class: phone, tablet, desktop or bot
nods stores no IP address, no user agent, no cookie and no identifier for the visitor. Clicks made by bots are stored and left out of every count.
A studio’s page can lead with the site you came from.
When a credit sends you to a studio’s page on nods, the address of that page names the project the credit was on, and the page shows that project first. nods stores nothing for this beyond the six facts above.
Opening a credit’s panel stores three facts.
Where a site carries the Full tier, opening the panel sends nods one request. nods stores the time, the country code and the device class against that installation.
A studio’s account holds what the studio gives it.
Clerk handles sign-in and holds each member’s name and email address. nods stores the records a studio writes, the sites it installs credits on, and who agreed each tier and when. A record page is public only when the studio publishes it.
Stripe takes payment for the paid plans.
Card details go to Stripe and never reach nods. nods stores the customer and subscription identifiers Stripe issues, the plan and the date the current period ends.
Vercel and Neon host the service.
Vercel serves the pages and the redirect. Neon holds the database.
Write to nods to see or delete what it holds.
The address is support@nodsto.com. A studio’s owner can ask for a copy of what the studio has stored, or for the studio and everything in it to be deleted. nods holds nothing that identifies a visitor, so a visitor has nothing to ask for.
