Accepting these terms

By accessing or using Simple Web, you agree to these terms of use and accept them as binding. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

What Simple Web provides

Simple Web is a community-maintained directory and documentation resource. It publishes information about privacy-focused web frontends and public instances as a public service. The site does not operate the projects or instances listed here, and it does not claim authorship of the software or services described on this site.

How the information is provided

This site and its content are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We make no warranties about the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of the information provided.

Instance details, project notes, and access methods can go out of date quickly. A listing may be fine one week and stale the next. We do not guarantee that any instance documented here will be available, functional, or suitable for your specific needs.

Third-party services and links

Links to external instances, projects, and services are included for informational purposes. We do not control, endorse, or accept responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or operation of any third-party service. Use of external services is at your own risk and is subject to the relevant terms and policies.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Simple Web and its maintainers are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages that arise from your use of this site or your reliance on its content.

Your responsibility

You are responsible for checking whether any information, instance, or project listed here is suitable for your own needs and threat model. Do your own research, and use privacy tools and services with care rather than assumption.

The privacy protections offered by the tools and instances documented here depend on proper use and on understanding what they can and cannot do. No tool can guarantee complete privacy or anonymity in every situation.

Intellectual property

The content and organisation of this site are provided for educational and informational purposes. We respect the intellectual property rights of the projects and services we document, and we do not claim ownership of their names, software, or other assets.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If you continue using the site after changes are published, that counts as acceptance of the updated terms. Check this page periodically.
