The fine print.
Mostly readable.
Privacy, terms, acceptable use and trademarks, in one page. The short version: reading needs no account, the work belongs to the people who made it, and one inbox reaches a person who answers. The long version is below, and it is deliberately short too.
On this pagePrivacy
Privacy.
What we hold, who it goes to, how long it stays, and what you can ask us to do with it. The list is short, because reading this site asks almost nothing of you. The site and its database run in the United States, so that is where anything we hold is handled. If something here surprises you, treat it as a bug and tell us.
What we hold.
An email address, and a name if you gave one, for everyone on the newsletter mailing list, including subscribers carried over from the previous version of this site.
Standard request data, which our hosting and error-reporting providers see as an unavoidable part of serving and debugging a page: IP address, browser user-agent, and the URL requested. We use it to keep the site up and to fix what breaks.
Nothing else. Reading the public site needs no account. The appearance setting is the one exception: change it and that choice is saved on your device, where it stays.
Who processes it.
| Processor | What it does |
|---|---|
| Hosting | running the site and storing its pages, images and video |
| sending the newsletter and the messages you ask us for | |
| Diagnostics | error reports and rate limiting, so faults are visible and abuse is not free |
| Backups | nightly copies of the database, kept apart from the live one |
How long we keep it.
Database backups are deleted automatically 30 days after they are written. Mailing-list records are kept until you unsubscribe; unsubscribing marks the record rather than erasing it, because a deleted record is exactly what lets a later import add you back. Ask us to erase it outright and we will.
Your choices.
To ask what we hold about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted, email admin@webgpu.com. A human reads it. When the newsletter resumes, every issue will carry a one-click unsubscribe link.
When this changes.
The site is early and still being built, and what it does with data will grow. When what we hold, who processes it, or how long we keep it changes, this section changes with it, and the date at the foot of the page is when it last did.
Terms.
An independent project, free to read, with no account required. It indexes work made by other people and credits them for it. These terms are short because the site currently asks very little of you.
What this site is.
A curated public listing of WebGL and WebGPU work, filed by the techniques behind it as well as by what it is. Every entry links to its source and credits the people or studios who made it. Reading it is free and needs no sign-up.
Whose work is whose.
The showcased work belongs to its rightsholders. We link to it, describe it, and credit it; we claim no ownership and no licence over it beyond what displaying an entry requires. If you made something listed here and want the entry corrected or removed, email us. You do not need to explain why.
As-is.
The site is provided as-is and without warranty. It is run by a small independent team, and it may be unavailable, incomplete, or simply wrong. We make no uptime commitment. When something breaks badly we would rather tell you what happened than pretend it did not.
Acceptable use.
Short, because there is not yet much here to misuse: the site is read-only to visitors today. This section grows when accounts, posting, and comments land.
Automated access.
Crawling for search indexing is welcome, and robots.txt is the authority on what is open. Please do not hammer the site with automated requests. If you want the listing in bulk, email us. There is a better route than scraping, and we would rather give it to you.
Reporting a problem.
Security issues, takedown requests, and factual corrections all go to admin@webgpu.com. A human reads it, and we tell you what we did, even when the answer is that we did nothing.
Trademarks.
This site indexes work built on two open standards, and it is named after both of them. Neither standards body runs it, endorses it, or has any say in what appears here. This section says who owns what, so nobody has to guess.
WebGL.
WebGL™ and the WebGL logo are trademarks of The Khronos Group Inc. We use the name to say what the work on this site is built with, which is what the name is for. We are not a Khronos member, adopter, or licensee, and nothing here is a conformance claim about any implementation.
WebGPU.
WebGPU and the WebGPU Shading Language are specifications developed by the W3C GPU for the Web Working Group. W3C is a registered trademark of its host institutions. We track the specification; we do not speak for it, and nothing here should be read as the working group saying anything.
And this site.
We are an independent community project. The domains we run are ours, the editorial is ours, and the mistakes are ours. If either organisation would like something on this page worded differently, email admin@webgpu.com and we will change it.
