On privacy, simply.

Aubade is a frontend-only demonstration of a learning portal. There is no server, no database, no user account, and no tracking pixel. Every interaction you take here happens entirely within your browser tab. When you close the tab, the state is gone unless your browser chose to remember it — and it only chose to remember a single thing: which theme you preferred.

The application uses your browser’s localStorage for one purpose: remembering whether you chose the light theme, the dark theme, or to follow your operating system. The key is digital-school.theme. Clearing your site data, in any modern browser, removes it.

No notes, no completion state, no marginalia is persisted across sessions in this demo. Refresh the page and the work resets, for the same reason a museum returns the lights to default each evening.

The typography is set in Fraunces and Geist, served by Google Fonts. When you load a page, your browser may request these fonts from Google’s CDN. Google’s privacy practices are documented separately at policies.google.com/privacy.

Should you fork this work into a real product with real users, please write a real privacy policy. This one is honest only because the demo is honest. A live deployment with backed services has different obligations — and rightly so.
