Parley itself — the protocol and the code in github.com/5uper0/parley — collects nothing. It is a zero-dependency Python library and a self-hosted demo; if you docker run it locally or on your own infrastructure, no data leaves your machine and there is no telemetry, ever.
The hosted demo at parleyprotocol.com is different — it uses Google Analytics (GA4) so we can tell whether the demo is reaching anyone worth talking to.
What's collected
- Standard GA4 page views and browser/device metadata (the same as most websites).
- A handful of click events scoped to this page: running a scenario, clicking verify, clicking the Arena "join the beta" link, or clicking through to GitHub, Discussions, or LinkedIn. No content you type into the demo (party names, preferences) is sent — the events log that a button was clicked, not what the decision was.
What's not collected
- No account, no email, no login — the demo doesn't ask for either.
- No advertising identifiers, no ad network, no retargeting pixels.
- No data is sold, shared, or used for anything beyond understanding demo traffic.
Your options
Any ad-blocker or tracking-protection extension that blocks Google Analytics will block this too — the demo works identically either way, nothing is gated on analytics. For zero analytics of any kind, run the demo yourself: docker run -p 8080:8080 parley (see the README).
