Privacy Policy

The short version: this Site does not use cookies, does not run analytics or tracking scripts, does not require an account, and does not knowingly collect personal information from visitors. This policy explains exactly what does happen when you use the Site.

Who we are

The Humanoid Benchmark (the "Site") — including the Xodexa Humanoid Index (XHI) ranking and the humanoidindex.io domain — is operated by autogovern.io ("we", "us", "our"). This policy applies to everyone who visits or uses the Site.

Information we collect

We do not collect personal information through the Site. Specifically:

• No cookies. The Site sets no cookies of any kind — not for the public pages, and not for the administrative review-queue tool, which is authenticated by a bearer token in the request rather than a browser session.
• No analytics or tracking scripts. We run no Google Analytics, Plausible, tag manager, advertising pixel, or any other third-party JavaScript. Every script on this Site is either inline structured data (JSON-LD) or none at all.
• No accounts, sign-ups, or forms that collect personal data. There is no registration, newsletter, comment system, or contact form. The search box on every page submits your query as part of the page URL to filter results on our server; we don't log, store, or otherwise retain search queries or associate them with you.
• No sale or sharing of personal data. We have none to sell or share.

Third-party images

Robot, company, and component-manufacturer photos shown on the Site — including on robot detail pages, the Companies pages, and the Parts pages — are linked directly from the sources we cite for each image rather than copied onto our own servers. Each individual robot page additionally shows an explicit "photo source" credit link for its main photo when one is available. When your browser loads a page with one of these photos, it makes a direct request to that third party's server, which may log standard connection information (such as your IP address) under its own privacy practices — we don't control this. We set referrerpolicy="no-referrer" on every such image, sitewide, so your browser does not send the referring page's URL along with that request, but we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you're referred to. We do not embed any third-party widgets, iframes, or social-media embeds anywhere on the Site.

Hosting and technical logs

The Site's own application code does not read, log, or persist visitor IP addresses or request details. The Site is hosted on Railway's infrastructure; as with any hosting provider, the underlying network and servers may generate standard, short-lived technical/security logs (e.g. connection timestamps and IP addresses) as a normal part of operating the service. Those logs are managed under Railway's own privacy practices, not ours — see Railway's privacy policy for details.

Children's privacy

The Site is a general-audience research/reference tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children, because we do not collect personal information from any visitor at all.

International visitors

autogovern.io operates from the United States, and the Site's hosting provider (Railway) may serve or process traffic from infrastructure located in the United States or other countries. If you access the Site from outside the United States, be aware that the technical request needed to load the page (which, as described above, does not include personal information collected by us) may be processed outside your own country.

Your choices

Because we don't collect personal data, there is generally nothing on file for you to access, correct, or delete. If you have a specific privacy question or concern about the Site — including about the third-party image-hosting behavior described above — contact us at governance@autogovern.io.

Changes to this policy

If our practices change — for example, if we ever add analytics, an account system, or a mailing list — we will update this page and its effective date above. Continued use of the Site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
