The Ikigai Collective is a volunteer-run community. This website is a static site: it has no accounts, no forms, no analytics, and it sets no cookies. In plain terms: we collect no personal data through this site. The rest of this page explains the few things that happen anyway, and what your choices are.
This site is served by GitHub Pages. Like any web host, GitHub may log technical data about visits (such as IP addresses) for security and operational purposes. That processing is governed by the GitHub Privacy Statement; we never see those logs.
The Collective lives on platforms we do not operate. If you follow a link from this site and sign up, your data is handled by that platform under its own policy:
Joining any of these is your choice, and leaving them is handled through those platforms.
We publish weekly Lab Notes, a public record of our sessions. Our editorial rule: members are not named and personally or commercially sensitive details are not published without that member's consent. If something in a published note concerns you and you want it changed, anonymized, or removed, contact us and we will do it.
Since we hold no personal data from this site, most data-protection requests (access, deletion, portability) should go to the platform that holds the data: GitHub, Discord, or Substack. For anything under our control, including newsletter subscriber data on Substack and the content of Lab Notes, contact us and we will honor access, correction, and deletion requests without drama.
This site and community are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children; there is nothing here to collect it with.
The fastest route is the Discord server (message an admin) or an issue on GitHub.
If our practices change, for example if we ever add analytics or forms, this page will change first, with an updated date at the top. The history is public in the site's repository.
