Privacy

Last updated 2026-09-04

Parley itself — the protocol and the code in github.com/5uper0/parley — collects nothing. It is a zero-dependency Python library and a self-hosted demo; if you docker run it locally or on your own infrastructure, no data leaves your machine and there is no telemetry, ever.

What's collected

• Standard GA4 page views and browser/device metadata (the same as most websites).
• Microsoft Clarity (free) records how pages are used: clicks, scrolls and page layout. It runs with cookies switched off and with strict masking, so all text on the page is hidden in the recording and nothing you type into the demo is captured. Without cookies, Clarity cannot link visits together; each page view is separate. Microsoft processes this data under its own privacy terms. An ad-blocker or tracking-protection extension blocks it as well.
• A handful of click events scoped to this page: running a scenario, clicking verify, clicking the Arena "join the beta" link, or clicking through to GitHub, Discussions, or LinkedIn. No content you type into the demo (party names, preferences) is sent — the events log that a button was clicked, not what the decision was.

What's not collected

• No account, no email, no login — the demo doesn't ask for either.
• No advertising identifiers, no ad network, no retargeting pixels.
• No data is sold, or used for anything beyond understanding demo traffic. It is shared only with the two analytics processors named above.

Your options

Any ad-blocker or tracking-protection extension that blocks Google Analytics or Microsoft Clarity will block them too — the demo works identically either way, nothing is gated on analytics. For zero analytics of any kind, run the demo yourself: docker build -t parley . && docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 parley (see the README).
