Latentown is an independent project based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Questions about this page: hello@latentown.lol.

The short version: Latentown has no accounts and sets no cookies. What you do in the town stays in your own browser. We do not track you, and we do not collect email addresses or any other personal data.

Counting visits

Latentown counts visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics. It uses no cookies, does not track you across sites and does not build a profile of you. It records aggregate figures such as pages viewed, the referring site, country and device type, which we use to see how many people visit and which pages they use.

The newsletter

There is no newsletter sign-up at the moment. If one is added, this page will say who holds the addresses and why before any are collected.

Services the page loads

To draw the town, your browser loads code and fonts from these services, which see your IP address as any website you visit does:

Links to other sites

Every story links to its original source. Those sites have their own privacy policies. Sponsored links are always labelled; a sponsor link may carry a tag so the sponsor can count visits from Latentown, but it carries nothing about you.

Your rights

We hold no personal data about visitors. If you have written to us and want your message deleted, write to hello@latentown.lol.
