The Privacy Stack™
Privacy protections built into every site we deliver — not added later.
Most websites are built for visibility and tracking. Ours are built for discretion and control.
The Privacy Stack™ is our foundation-level infrastructure — a set of technical protections configured before your site ever goes live.
These aren’t optional add-ons. They’re baseline requirements.
The Privacy Stack™ consists of five core components applied to every Delta Line site before launch.
Identity Protection
Protect your personal information from public exposure.
When a domain is registered, personal details — name, address, phone number, and email — are often published in public WHOIS databases.
- Private domain registration – Your personal information is shielded from public WHOIS lookups
- WHOIS protection enabled by default – No searchable records linking the domain to your identity
- Registrar-level privacy – We use registrars that respect privacy and don’t sell your data
Why it matters:
Your domain shouldn’t be a public directory entry. We ensure it isn’t.
Data Sanitation
Remove hidden metadata from all images and files.
Photos taken with phones and cameras often contain hidden EXIF metadata such as GPS coordinates, timestamps, device information, and software details.
Uploading these files to your website can unintentionally expose your location, equipment, or patterns.
What we do:
- EXIF metadata stripping – GPS coordinates, timestamps, and camera data removed from all images
- File sanitization before upload – All client-provided media is processed to remove embedded information
- Automated checks – Images are verified clean before going live
Why it matters: A professional photo shouldn’t reveal where you live or when you work. We make sure it doesn’t.
Secure Communication
Route contact inquiries without exposing your personal email.
Standard contact forms often route messages directly to a personal email address, exposing it in headers, logs, or page code.
What we do:
- Contact form routing protections – Messages reach you without revealing your personal email address
- No email exposure in page source – Your contact information is not embedded in visible or hidden code
- Secure form handling – Submissions are transmitted securely and not logged in third-party systems
Why it matters: Clients should be able to reach you without gaining access to your personal inbox or learning your private email address.
Privacy-Respecting Analytics
Understand your visitors without tracking them.
Most websites use Google Analytics, which tracks individuals across the web, builds behavioral profiles used for advertising and cross-site tracking.
What we do:
- Plausible Analytics – Privacy-first analytics that measure traffic without cookies or personal data collection
- No cross-site tracking – Visitors are not followed across the internet
- GDPR-compliant by design – No consent banners required because no personal data is collected
- No data selling – Your visitor data stays private and is never monetized
Why it matters: You can understand your site traffic without turning your visitors into a surveillance product
Word Press Security Hardening
Reduce attack surface and common vulnerabilities.
Out-of-the-box WordPress installations have known security gaps that make sites easy targets for automated attacks.
What we do:
- Login security – Strong passwords, two-factor authentication, limited login attempts
- Attack surface reduction – XML-RPC disabled, file editing disabled, admin username changed
- Software updates – WordPress core, themes, and plugins updated before launch
- Automated backups configured – Regular snapshots so your site can be restored if needed
Why it matters: A compromised website can expose client data, get taken offline, or damage your professional reputation. We reduce those risks from day one.
Enhanced Privacy Layer
For clients with heightened security needs, we offer an Enhanced Privacy Layer that adds server-level protections.
Includes:
- Cloudflare proxy – Hides your site’s origin server IP address from public view
- Bot protection – Automated filtering of malicious traffic and scrapers
- DDoS mitigation – Protection against denial-of-service attacks
- Geofencing capabilities – Option to block traffic from specific countries or regions
- Advanced server hardening – Additional security configurations at the infrastructure leve
Available in Premium tier ($2,800) or as a standalone upgrade.
What We Don't Do
We do not install:
- Google Analytics
- Facebook Pixel
- Advertising trackers
- Third-party behavioral scripts
Delta Line sites prioritize privacy and operational discretion over marketing surveillance.
Most web development companies include tracking and advertising infrastructure by default. We explicitly do not.
