What this is
Unmarked
No predatory algorithms, no data scraping, no privacy invasion, no advertising. Just travel tales by one travel bug.
Unmarked is my small, independent travel blog. Everything here is written and published by me — one person — not by a feed, not by a model, not by a panel of editors deciding what you should see today.
What I won’t do
- No algorithmic ranking.Posts appear in the order they happened. The latest day comes first, the earliest comes last. That’s the whole sorting policy.
- No data scraping or third-party trackers.The site doesn’t embed Facebook pixels, Google Analytics, ad networks, or heat-maps. If you want to know how many people read a post, the answer is “some, hopefully.”
- No advertising. No banner ads, no sponsored posts, no affiliate links sneaking gear recommendations into the narrative.
- No retention games.No infinite scroll, no push-notification harassment, no “you have unread updates” badges. Subscribe by email if you like — one message per published day, unsubscribe in one click.
What you can do
- Read the journeys and the daily entries.
- Leave a comment under your name; reply to others.
- Subscribe to a single journey or to everything — emails go out only when something new is published.
- Grab the RSS feed if you keep a reader.
What I collect
The minimum needed to run the site. When you comment I keep your name, the body of the comment, and a hashed version of your IP address (used only for spam control and bans). Email is optional and stored only if you tick “notify me of replies” or subscribe to a journey. I never sell, share, or analyse this data.
