Our privacy promise
news.jao.life is built to be the least invasive way to read the news. Here is exactly what we do and don't do:
What we don't do
- No cookies. None. Not even a session cookie.
- No analytics, no pixels, no beacons, no fingerprinting.
- No third-party requests from the page — no CDNs, no fonts, no ads, no trackers.
- No JavaScript on the page (CSP
script-src 'none'). - No server-side logging of which stories you open or which categories you browse.
- No account, no email, no login.
What we do
- Fetch RSS feeds server-side, with a generic User-Agent, and cache them at the edge for 5 minutes.
- Strip your
Refererheader on every outbound click (Referrer-Policy: no-referrer). - Route every story link through /out so you can see the destination before you go, and so the publisher never learns you came from here.
- Serve the same cached HTML to everyone — meaning your request is often served entirely from Cloudflare's edge without ever touching an origin server.
What we technically must process
- Your IP address reaches Cloudflare (our host) to deliver the page, as it does for any website. We don't store it and don't correlate it with what you read.
- Standard Cloudflare edge logs may exist briefly for abuse prevention, under Cloudflare's privacy policy.
That's the whole story. If you have questions, the source lives on jao.life.
