Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2026
What we collect
To create an account, we ask for your email address solely to verify eligibility. This email address is permanently and irrecoverably deleted from all our systems immediately after your account is created. We retain only a one-way cryptographic hash to prevent duplicate registrations — this hash cannot be reversed to recover your email address.
After verification, your account consists only of a randomly generated internal ID, your chosen username, your community slug (derived from your email domain), a hashed password, and a hashed recovery code. None of these can identify you as a real person.
What we do not collect
- Your real name
- Your email address (deleted after signup)
- Your IP address (not stored in our database)
- Your location
- Any device identifiers
- Any tracking cookies or analytics
Your posts and comments
Posts and comments are stored under your anonymous username only. No metadata linking your content to your real identity is retained. You can delete your own posts and comments at any time. Deleting your account anonymizes all your content permanently.
Account recovery
Because we do not store your email address, account recovery is performed using a recovery code shown to you once at signup. If you lose both your password and recovery code, your account cannot be recovered. This is a deliberate privacy-preserving design choice.
Legal requests
If we receive a lawful legal order requesting user data, we can only disclose what we actually have. Since email addresses are permanently deleted after signup, we cannot produce them even if compelled to do so. The only data we hold is your anonymous username, community slug, hashed password, and content you have posted.
OPSEC reminder
While we take strong technical measures to protect your anonymity, your anonymity also depends on what you post. Avoid including identifying information in your posts such as your name, workplace details, or unique personal experiences that could identify you. Writing style can also be used to identify authors — be aware of this if you are at risk.
