How BakeHQ treats other people's material

This matters as much as the paragraphs above, and it is enforced in the code rather than promised.

BakeHQ’s citation register stores metadata only — what a document is, and a locator pointing at the relevant part of it. It does not store the text. There is no field for an excerpt, a quotation or a body, and a validation rule fails the build if a record acquires one.

The reason is straightforward: a citation register that stores source text is an unlicensed copy of other people’s writing wearing a database schema. See sources and evidence.

If you think something here infringes your rights

Write to licensing@hekno.co.uk with the page, the material concerned and the basis of your claim. Substantiated complaints are acted on promptly.

BakeHQ would like to record anonymous usage — which pages are read, whether searches return anything, whether a diagnosis reaches an answer. No personal data, no advertising profile, and nothing you type is ever sent. The site works identically either way.
