Privacy
Koru Grid doesn't ask who you are. There are no accounts, forms, cookies or ads, and visits are counted without keeping your IP address.

What Koru Grid collects
Nothing you type or choose reaches us. Koru Grid has no sign-ups, forms or comments. It gives visitors no cookies, runs no advertising or third-party scripts, and embeds nothing from other companies; even its typeface is served from usekoru.io.
Visit counts: we count page views and visitors with short codes made by one-way scrambling (hashing) your network address and browser type together with a secret key that belongs to this site alone. A code lasts one day or one calendar month and is deleted after that day or month is over; backup copies expire within 30 days. Visit counts never store your IP address itself. We may record the name of the website or app that sent you here, or a link's campaign tag, never the full address.
Your browser keeps one setting on your own device: the light or dark theme, if you pick one, saved in local storage as koru-theme. It is never sent to us, and clearing this site's data in your browser removes it.
Hosting
Koru Grid runs on Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes the details that come with every request (your IP address, browser type, the address requested and the time) to deliver the site and protect it from attacks. Browsers that support Network Error Logging may also tell Cloudflare when a connection to the site fails, so it can find network problems. Cloudflare explains how it handles this data in Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Cloudflare shows us overall traffic, such as how many requests the site served. It can also show us the details of single requests in two cases: requests its security tools blocked or challenged, and requests made while we are watching the site live (that view isn't saved). We use these only to keep Koru Grid running. The automatic log of every request that Cloudflare would otherwise keep for us is turned off. The site's own code still writes short notes to a log, such as a scheduled refresh that failed, and Cloudflare deletes them after seven days. We never put your IP address, browser type, the page that sent you here, the address you asked for or an email address in those notes, though Cloudflare may attach basic details of the request a note came from.
Your visit never reaches the California ISO. Koru Grid collects the ISO's public data on Cloudflare's servers, on a schedule, and your browser loads it from usekoru.io.
Selling, sharing and tracking signals
We don't sell or share personal information. Koru Grid doesn't follow you across other websites or build a profile of you, and apart from Cloudflare's role as host, no other company receives information about your visit.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control don't change how visits are counted: everyone is counted the same way, a day's codes can't be matched with another day's or a month's with another month's, codes from different sites never match, and nothing is sold or shared.
Children
Koru Grid is for everyone, students included. It asks no one for personal information, children under 13 included.
Links to other sites
Koru Grid links to the California ISO, which publishes the data, to the public agencies whose reports it cites, and to Valencia Labs, which makes the site. Those sites have their own privacy practices.
Your California privacy rights
California's Online Privacy Protection Act asks sites that collect personally identifiable information to say what they collect and who they share it with, whether other companies track visitors across sites, how they respond to Do Not Track, how they announce changes and when their policy took effect. This page answers each.
The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, applies to businesses above a revenue threshold or that buy, sell or share large amounts of personal information. Valencia Labs is neither. If you have a question or a request anyway, write to us and we'll answer it.
Changes
If we change how Koru Grid handles information, we'll update this page and the date at the top, and say what changed. This version took effect on . What changed: the visit counts and Do Not Track passages now say that the secret key belongs to this site alone, so codes from different sites never match, and that backup copies of the codes expire within 30 days; Cloudflare's automatic log of every request is now turned off, and the Hosting section says what we can still see.
