Based on the following principles, seldom strictly employed online today:
- Altruism - the principle and moral practice of concern for happiness of other human beings and/or animals, resulting in a quality of life.
- Honor - donations are not distributed outside of our scope of service, for example, funding partisan or any type of affiliated political group. We do not believe that political activism or appropriation of funds from common web services is ethical. Yak respects and appreciates your support, which is used to support the completely independent developer, maintainer and network.
- Integrity - the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles, or moral uprightness. It is a personal choice to hold one's self to consistent standards. In ethics, integrity is regarded as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one's actions.
- Privacy - the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves, or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively and on the basis of their own control and full discretion. The handling, storage, methods of disclosure and use of data corresponding to the individual concerning technology and applications.
YAK.ONL supports and loves open-web policies and open-source technologies. We love the power of the mature and fluid core web technologies, and maintain secure, up-to-date linux servers. We support technological choices correlative to the US Constitution and Bill of Rights (and our belief that online data and privacy is 100% commensurate with the first 4 and 9th Amendments), free will and voluntarism. YAK.ONL asks for your support as well, on a volunteer, pure grassroots basis in any manner you see fit or comfortable.
YAK.ONL offers simple document-based webpages, micro-sites or tools for most of public projects. We host and have the same developer going back years who maintains our secure virtual private server. We simply do not collect or store any user data. Simple. In the past 15 years, we have offered our flagship public startpage (homebase now at go.yak.onl), no one else has been able to claim the level of full privacy for a startpage that we have offered. No strings or hidden elements. Simple, literally and figuratively clean, minimal.
Being primarily a simple web document network: any cookies, javascript or sessions on the YAK Network conform to our firm ethical standards and are used to serve themes or visual styles across pages, for a particular webpage, or commonplace and apparent site functionalities related to displaying our webpages or content. Some microsites may offer non-intrusive advertising or promos - nothing that will compromise your privacy, safety or performance of your browser.
YAK.ONL is entirely independent and offers micro-sites or apps with generally pure core web technologies minus databases with storage of any user data. We like raw, hand-coded HTML, CSS, PHP with some basic javascript that is non-intrusive nor annoying.
Our free, secure, unbiased and truly* private homepages / startpage service
yak.onl network is based on over a decade-and-a-half of privacy-aware and independent web service. (Former brands and maintainer moved to yak.onl include Kiwibeak homepages since 2005 - now go.yak.onl).
