Plausible: Privacy (legal) page changed

Privacy policyChanged (not classified) (rule)Changed 2026-11-10 08:45 UTCplausible.io

Summary

Plausible clarified its privacy wording: website stats are encrypted on European-owned infrastructure in Falkenstein, Germany, with main servers powered by 100% renewable energy; account data is handled by listed service providers. The November 2026 update explicitly states there is no change to data handling, so this is a wording clarification rather than a new privacy restriction.

Compared with the previous archived version (#110 to #18671). Text is normalized before comparing: dates, counters and tokens show as ‹date›, ‹count›, ‹tok›, and noise-only edits are hidden.

Archive proof

Rewindex commits each page capture it captures to a daily checkpoint, chains it to the day before, and has the checkpoint timestamped by FreeTSA and DigiCert. That proves these records existed by then and have not been changed since, by anyone, Rewindex included.
