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.
The hosted site at parleyprotocol.com (homepage and demo) is different — it uses Google Analytics (GA4) so we can tell whether the site is reaching anyone worth talking to.
What's collected
- Standard GA4 page views and browser/device metadata (the same as most websites).
- 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, shared, or used for anything beyond understanding demo traffic.
Your options
Any ad-blocker or tracking-protection extension that blocks Google Analytics will block this 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).
