pev.What pev collects, what it doesn't
Privacy
Privacy at pev.
Short version: pev collects almost nothing. No accounts, no emails, no tracking pixels by default. If you accept the consent banner, Google Analytics 4 tracks anonymous pageviews. If you decline, even that doesn't happen. The rest of this page is the long version.
What pev tracks by default
Nothing. No cookies, no analytics, no fingerprinting. The page loads, you read it, you leave. We don't see it on our end.
What changes if you accept the consent banner
Google Analytics 4 loads in your browser and records:
- The URL of each page you visit on pev.silknodes.io
- How long you stay on each page
- Your browser type and operating system
- Your country, sometimes city-level (never your IP address)
- Whether you arrived via a link, a search, or directly
What pev does NOT collect
- Email addresses (you have no way to give us one)
- Names, phone numbers, locations, or any personally identifying information
- Wallet addresses you paste into the search bar (those queries run server-side without being logged)
- Anything from the keyboard while you type into the search bar
- Browser fingerprints or device identifiers
- Behavior on other websites
Where your consent choice is stored
Locally, in your browser's localStorage, under a key called pev-consent. It never leaves your machine. We don't have a server-side record of your choice. Clearing your browser data resets it, and the banner will ask again next visit.
On-chain data
pev displays public Monad mainnet data: contract addresses, transaction hashes, block numbers, storage slots. These are public chain identifiers, visible to anyone running a Monad node. We index them and surface them in readable views; we don't link them to people, and you should assume anyone who can read a chain explorer can see the same data.
Third parties
When you click an external link in pev (Sourcify for contract verification, the 4byte directory for method names, Silk Nodes' main site), those services have their own privacy policies and we don't control what they collect. We don't share data with any of them. They only see the request when you click the link.
API access
pev exposes read-only JSON endpoints under /api/v1/ for developers. These have no authentication and we don't log identifying info about who calls them, only the standard request headers needed to serve the response. If we ever add rate limiting we'll need to log IPs short-term to do it; that change will be announced here.
If you want pev to forget you
Clear the pev-consent key from your browser's localStorage. The banner will reappear on your next visit and you can decline. Google Analytics keeps its own retention rules; we've configured the property to delete data after 14 months.
Changes to this policy
If we change what pev collects, we'll update this page and bump the date below. There's no mailing list to subscribe to. Re-read whenever.
