Purpose
pgs.sh exists to allow people to create and share their thoughts without the need to set up their own server or be part of a platform that shows ads or tracks its users.
Ethics
We are committed to:
- No browser-based tracking of visitor behavior.
- No attempt to identify users.
- Never sell any user or visitor data.
- No ads — ever.
Code of Content Publication
Content in pgs.sh blogs is unfiltered and unmonitored. Users are free to publish any combination of words and pixels except for: content of animosity or disparagement of an individual or a group on account of a group characteristic such as race, color, national origin, sex, disability, religion, or sexual orientation, which will be taken down immediately.
If one notices something along those lines in a blog please let us know at hello@pico.sh.
Liability
The user expressly understands and agrees that Eric Bower and Antonio Mika, the operator of this website shall not be liable, in law or in equity, to them or to any third party for any direct, indirect, incidental, lost profits, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages.
Analytics
We are committed to zero browser-based tracking or trying to identify visitors. This means we do not try to understand the user based on cookies or IP address. We do not store personally identifiable information.
However, in order to provide a better service, we do have some analytics on posts. List of metrics we track for posts:
- anonymous view counts
We might also inspect the headers of HTTP requests to determine some tertiary information
about the request. For example we might inspect the User-Agent or
Referer to filter out requests from bots.
Account Terms
- The user is responsible for all content posted and all actions performed with their account.
- We reserve the right to disable or delete a user's account for any reason at any time. We have this clause because, statistically speaking, there will be people trying to do something nefarious.
Service Availability
We provide the pgs.sh service on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not offer service-level agreements but do take uptime seriously.
