Privacy and advertising
Anthony Fauci's Diary is a static archive of public records. It asks for no account, no email address and no personal information, and it stores nothing about you on its own servers.
What the site itself stores
Two preferences — your colour theme and text density — are saved in your browser’s local storage so pages don’t reset them as you navigate. They never leave your device and are not readable by us. Clearing site data removes them.
Standard server request logs (IP address, user agent, requested URL) are produced by the hosting provider for delivery and abuse prevention. We do not combine them with anything else or use them to profile visitors.
Search
Searches run on the server against the archive text. What you typed is not stored, not sent to any analytics tool, and not associated with you. Analytics records only that a search happened, how long the query was and how many results came back — never the query itself.
Advertising
This site shows advertising through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may set or read cookies and use device identifiers to serve and measure ads, including personalised ads where you have consented or where permitted by law. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this and other sites.
You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ad Settings, and review how Google uses data from sites that use its services in the Google privacy & terms notice. Third-party vendors’ own opt-outs are listed at aboutads.info.
Analytics
Usage analytics tell us which parts of the archive people actually read, so the site can be made easier to use. No account is needed to read anything here and none is created. Each tool below is named along with what it sees.
- Google Analytics 4 — page views, the site you arrived from, approximate location derived from your IP address, and your device and browser. Google sets cookies to do this.
- Microsoft Clarity— page views, plus session replay and heat maps, which record clicks, scrolling and pointer movement so we can see where a page is confusing. Clarity’s default masking hides what is typed into fields, so your searches are not captured in a replay.
- PostHog — page views and a few named actions: that a search happened and how many results it returned, changing the theme or density, and copying text. Not what you searched for.
None of this is sold, shared or used to build a profile of you, and none of it is combined with the names inside the records. You can block all of it with any content blocker without losing access to a single page of the archive.
Personal information inside the records
The archive reproduces U.S. federal public records exactly as released, including the names and email addresses that the releasing body chose to publish. Redactions applied before release — shown as ••• for an address or ▮ on a scanned page — are preserved; nothing has been unredacted or reconstructed here. No additional personal information about anyone has been researched, inferred or added. See how this archive was built for the full method.
If you appear in these records and believe material has been published in error by the releasing body, the request needs to go to that body, since this site mirrors what they published. If you have a concern about how this site presents it , write to mail@faucisdiary.com, that can be addressed here.
Children
This site is a reference archive for a general adult audience and is not directed to children.
Changes
Material changes to this page will be reflected here. Because the site is statically generated, the deployed version always matches what is described above.
