Privacy information for a static informational site
Overview
Plain Signal is a static informational website focused on explaining eSIM technology and travel connectivity. This site does not maintain user accounts, subscription lists, analytics tracking or server-based form processing. The primary way the site receives direct communication from visitors is when a visitor deliberately uses their own email application to send a message to our published contact address.
No accounts or newsletters
This site does not offer user accounts, sign-ups for newsletters, or any password-protected content. There is no server-side subscription processing. If a page on the site contains a contact link or a contact action, that link is intended to open the visitor's email program so the visitor chooses whether to send a message.
No analytics or advertising pixels
We do not embed third-party analytics, advertising pixels, or tracking scripts that collect behavioral metrics on visitors. Pages are delivered as static content without client-side trackers placed by Plain Signal. Visitors concerned about privacy should note, however, that typical browser requests made to display content may include third-party asset retrievals as described below.
External resources and routine requests
To present a readable layout and photographic illustration, some pages may reference externally served resources. Examples include a content delivery network for a CSS framework (for example, a public Tailwind CSS CDN), public font providers (for example, Google Fonts), and editorial photography hosted on third-party image providers. When a visitor's browser requests these external resources, the external providers will receive routine request data (IP address, user agent, timestamp and similar network-level details) and will process that data according to their own privacy policies. Plain Signal does not control those third-party collecting practices and recommends that users review the privacy statements of any external resource providers their browser contacts.
Local storage and cookies
This static site does not set server-managed session cookies or persistent analytics cookies for tracking visitors. Browsers may still store local data related to navigation or loaded components (for example, caching of fonts or stylesheets) under normal browser caching policies. If a user enables or installs browser extensions, those extensions may store their own data or set cookies; that behavior is determined by the extension vendor.
External links
Articles may include links to manufacturer support pages, regulator documentation, carrier published policies, and other third-party resources for readers who need authoritative, account-specific or device-specific information. Linking to an external page is intended for educational reference only and does not indicate endorsement of the third party. Visitors who follow external links leave Plain Signal and are subject to the linked site's privacy practices and terms.
Content and intellectual property
Plain Signal retains copyright in original content published on the site, including explanatory text, original diagrams and editorial photographs produced for the site. Visitors are welcome to link to and share content for non-commercial, educational uses provided the source is attributed. For republication requests beyond fair-use sharing, contact us with details and the intended use; we will respond to consider permission on a case-by-case basis.
Contact and data handling
If you choose to contact Plain Signal by email, any personal data you include in that message will be contained within the email you send. We will process the information you provide only for the purpose of responding to the enquiry or correction and to maintain editorial records of reported issues and corrections. We do not combine such messages with broader analytics or tracking. We retain contact emails for editorial record-keeping and correction history, and we will delete or anonymize personal data upon reasonable request where retention is not required for correction transparency.
Security and limitations
We strive to keep the site and its content secure, but the nature of static publishing means content can be cached in multiple places and external resource requests are outside our control. We recommend that visitors do not share passwords, activation codes or other sensitive account details over email. For account-level or activation assistance, contact your device manufacturer or service provider using their official support channels.
Changes to this page
Plain Signal may update this privacy information to reflect changes in site practices or third-party resource usage. Substantive changes will be noted with the date of revision. Because the site does not maintain user subscriptions or push communication channels, it is the responsibility of readers to review this page periodically for changes.
Further questions
If you have questions about the privacy practices described here or need clarification about how we handle contact emails, please use the contact link on the site to open an email and write to us. We will respond to editorial and privacy enquiries in line with our transparency and corrections practices.
A static informational page can still cause routine browser requests. Loading a stylesheet, a font or a remote photograph asks the relevant technical service to deliver that resource. This publication does not use those requests to build a marketing profile or run analytics. Plain Signal frames this as general educational guidance for travellers, not a service offer or a guarantee.
