Privacy Policy
KnowSift respects your privacy.
Last updated: August 2026
Information we collect
You do not need an account to browse resources on KnowSift.
If you create an account, we may collect information such as your email address, authentication information, and activity associated with your account.
Account activity may include resources you save, learning statuses you choose, custom lists you create, and resources you recommend or upvote.
We use this information to provide account features, keep your personal library available across sessions, record recommendations, maintain the security of the service, and improve KnowSift.
Analytics and technical information
We use privacy-respecting web analytics to understand how the site is used. Our current analytics tool is cookieless and is not intended to track you individually across other websites.
We may collect limited technical information such as browser type, device type, referring page, and pages visited. We use this information to understand usage patterns, identify problems, and improve the site.
Your library and activity
Features such as Want to Learn, Currently Learning, Finished, saved resources, and custom lists are associated with your account so that they remain available when you return to KnowSift.
Personal library information is private unless a feature explicitly tells you that something will be public.
Recommendations or upvotes may contribute to publicly displayed aggregate recommendation counts. We do not need to publicly display your identity for those aggregate counts.
Account data and deletion
We keep account information and associated personal activity while your account remains active, except where limited retention may be necessary for security, legal, or abuse-prevention purposes.
You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data through available account controls or by contacting us.
Service providers
We may use third-party service providers to operate KnowSift, including services for hosting, authentication, email delivery, analytics, databases, or other infrastructure.
These providers may process limited information on our behalf only where necessary to provide their services.
External links
We make reasonable efforts to review the resources we link to before adding them to KnowSift. However, third-party websites may change over time.
We cannot guarantee the ongoing availability, accuracy, privacy practices, or safety of external content. When you leave KnowSift, the privacy policies and terms of the external website apply.
If you discover a broken or suspicious link, please let us know so we can review and remove it if necessary.
Changes
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time as KnowSift changes or introduces new features. Any updates will be posted on this page together with a revised "Last updated" date.
