Privacy & disclosures

Reading and searching

Stray Press serves its own fonts and article images. You can read without an account. The site uses no analytics or advertising trackers. When you search Discoveries, your browser searches the archive on your device. Your search words stay there.

Hosting and delivery

Cloudflare delivers our pages. When you visit, it processes technical details such as your IP address and the page you request to serve the site and protect it from abuse. Its privacy policy describes how it handles that information.

Emailing the publisher

When you contact the publisher, Zoho Mail receives your email address and message for Rick to read and reply. Include only details you’re comfortable sharing for a reply or a correction.

Advertising and links

Stray Press currently carries no paid placements or affiliate links. Source links take you to the archive, museum, researcher, or other publisher responsible for the material. Their own privacy practices apply when you visit.

Illustrations and evidence

Illustrations give a subject a face or help explain how something works. We label AI-generated illustrations and identify reconstructions. When an image supports a factual claim, its caption tells you what you’re looking at and where it came from. We identify details we’ve cropped, marked, or enlarged so you can compare our reading with the source.
