Utah Preppers is a static blog about emergency preparedness, survival skills, and self-reliance, published at utahpreppers.com. It is not a company store, membership service, or data-brokerage business. This page describes what actually happens when you use the site—not a generic legal template.
What this site is
Pages are generated as static HTML with Astro and served as Cloudflare Workers Static Assets. There are no user accounts, comment threads, or checkouts. Questions go through the Contact page, which opens your mail app rather than posting to a server-side inbox. The current editorial feed is RSS at /rss.xml; we do not operate a newsletter signup.
What we do not collect
The site’s own code does not:
- Create accounts, profiles, or logins
- Collect email addresses or run a mailing list
- Set first-party cookies
- Load advertising pixels or first-party analytics scripts
- Take payments or store customer records
We do not sell personal information. There is no visitor database on this site to sell, rent, or “share for cross-context advertising.”
What is processed when you visit
Cloudflare (hosting and security)
Every request is handled by Cloudflare, which is the host and CDN. Like any web host, Cloudflare necessarily receives ordinary request data: IP address, date and time, requested URL, HTTP headers such as User-Agent and Referer, and similar connection metadata. Approximate location can be inferred from IP address. That processing is Cloudflare’s, under Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.
Security features such as Bot Fight Mode are Cloudflare dashboard controls, not something this repository configures. If a challenge page is shown, Cloudflare may set its own cookies (for example bot-management or clearance cookies) in order to distinguish browsers from automated traffic.
This project enables Cloudflare Workers Observability in its Wrangler config. That lets the site operator see request logs and traces in the Cloudflare dashboard. It is operator telemetry, not a visitor-facing analytics product in the page source. Retention and access follow Cloudflare’s platform, not a separate Utah Preppers data warehouse.
Google Fonts
The site loads the Inter typeface from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and
fonts.gstatic.com). Your browser contacts Google’s servers to fetch that CSS
and the font files. Google may receive your IP address and other standard request data. See
Google’s Privacy Policy.
Theme preference (on your device)
A light/dark theme toggle stores a theme value in your browser’s
localStorage. That preference stays on your device. It is not a cookie, and the
site does not transmit it to a server as a tracking identifier.
Search
On-site search runs in your browser against a JSON index hosted on this site. Queries are
not sent to a third-party search API. If you submit a search, the terms can appear in the
page URL (for example /search?q=…) and therefore in ordinary web-server and
Cloudflare request logs.
RSS
Fetching the RSS feed is a normal HTTP request for a public XML file. Utah Preppers does not receive your email address from that. If you use a third-party feed reader, that reader’s own policy applies.
Contact
The Contact page includes a form that builds a
mailto: link to the site mailbox and opens it in your email app. The static
site does not store the form fields. If you send the message, ordinary email delivery
applies (including whatever your mail provider and the receiving mailbox log).
Cookies
Utah Preppers’ published pages do not set first-party cookies. Cloudflare may set cookies as part of its security or challenge flow, on Cloudflare-controlled domains or paths. Google may set cookies on Google’s own domains when your browser loads Fonts. This site does not use a cookie banner because it does not set its own tracking cookies.
Outbound links
Articles—especially older archive posts—link to other websites, including vendors, government agencies, and historical product pages. Some archived posts contain old commercial or affiliate-style links. Those destinations are not Utah Preppers, and their privacy practices are their own. We do not control what they collect if you follow a link.
Children
This is an adult-oriented preparedness resource. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your choices
- Use browser or network controls to block third-party font requests (the layout will fall back to the system sans-serif stack).
- Clear site data in your browser to remove the stored theme preference.
- Avoid putting information you consider sensitive into a search URL.
Because this site does not keep user accounts, there is no Utah Preppers profile to download or delete. We cannot erase Cloudflare’s platform logs on demand the way a SaaS app deletes an account.
Changes
If how the site is built or hosted changes in a way that affects this description (for example adding a form, analytics, or a newsletter), this page should be updated and the date above changed. Until then, treat the published source and this page as the record of current practice.
Contact
Use the Contact page (or email the address listed there). That is a mailbox, not a privacy portal with statutory response deadlines. The public source for the site is the Jayceh/utahpreppers GitHub repository. Opening an issue there does not create a legal correspondence relationship.
