Privacy
Privacy, self-evident.
Most privacy policies are an apology written by lawyers. Ours is short because the data we’d have to apologize for doesn’t exist. Axiom 2: we can’t sell what we refuse to collect.
Last updated: August 16, 2026
The whole policy in three lines: This website sets no cookies and runs no analytics. The only outbound request it ever makes is the one you trigger yourself — a live demo search, forwarded through a stateless proxy that doesn’t log it (source public in this repo). Nothing here builds a profile of you, and nothing ever will.
This website (AXIOM.INC)
The site you’re reading is static files — HTML, CSS, a small script for the search demo, and some images. It:
- sets no cookies and uses no local storage;
- includes no analytics, no tracking pixels, and no fingerprinting of any kind;
- loads with no third-party requests — no CDNs, no external fonts, no embedded widgets;
- answers questions about Axiom in the demo entirely in your browser — those canned answers never leave your device;
- for other demo searches, forwards your query through our stateless search proxy to the Brave Search API to fetch live web results. The proxy passes the query through without logging or storing it — its full source code is public in this site’s repository (/worker) precisely so that claim is checkable — and Brave’s handling is governed by the Brave privacy policy. If the proxy is unreachable, your browser falls back to querying Wikipedia’s public API directly. Either way, the result card labels its source every time.
You can verify all of this in your browser’s developer tools; the network tab is the whole audit.
The site is served by GitHub Pages, which — like any web host — receives standard request logs (such as IP addresses) to deliver pages and keep the service secure. That data is handled under the GitHub Privacy Statement; we never see it, enrich it, or use it.
Axiom search, at launch
The product is in private beta, and this section is the standard we’re building it to:
- Queries are ephemeral. Your query is processed to serve your results, then aggregated (to count things like “how often do people search this”) or discarded. It is not stored against your identity.
- No accounts required. Search works logged out, first-class, forever. Accounts exist only for optional paid features, and paying is the only thing they track.
- No advertising profile. There is no ad system, so there is nothing for one to feed.
- No sale or sharing of personal data. Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to “trusted partners.”
What we will never do
- Build or buy a profile of you.
- Sell, rent, or trade your data — in bulk or retail, anonymized or otherwise.
- Inject tracking into links you click.
- Quietly weaken this page. Changes get announced, dated, and explained, and the history stays public in this site’s repository.
