Privacy Policy

We respect privacy as a practical responsibility, not a checkbox or a slogan.

What We Collect

We collect only what is necessary for this site to function. This may include basic account information, content you choose to submit, and limited technical data such as timestamps related to site activity.

We do not collect behavioral profiles, advertising data, or information for tracking people across the internet.

Where Your Data Lives

All site data is stored on systems that are both under our control and in our physical possession. We do not rely on third-party cloud services to store user data, and we do not transmit site data to external analytics, advertising, or tracking platforms.

What We Do Not Do

• We do not sell personal data.
• We do not trade or rent data.
• We do not share user information with advertisers or data brokers.
• We do not run third-party tracking pixels or surveillance analytics.

Passwords and Account Security

Passwords are never stored in plain text. All passwords are encrypted using secure one-way hashing methods.

Because of this, passwords cannot be recovered if forgotten. If you lose access to your password, it must be reset.

Email and Communications

If we ever send emails, announcements, or updates, they will be strictly opt-in. You will only receive communications if you explicitly choose to receive them.

You can opt out at any time, and doing so will not limit your ability to participate on the site.

Security in Transit

Connections to this site are encrypted using HTTPS to protect data while it is being transmitted. This helps reduce the risk of interception or tampering between your device and our systems.

Account Access and Deletion

You may request access to your account data or request deletion of your account. When an account is deleted, associated personal data is removed unless retention is required for legitimate operational or legal reasons.

Changes to This Policy

If site functionality changes in a way that affects how data is handled, this policy will be updated to reflect that. We aim to make changes visible and understandable rather than hiding them in fine print.

Questions

If you have questions about how this site handles data, ask. We prefer clarity over legal padding.
