Privacy policy

This page explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.

What we collect

• Account: username, email, WhatsApp number, password (stored as a hash), language, time zone, the categories you asked for.
• Safety signals: IP addresses, a device cookie and the devices you log in from. We use them to stop duplicate accounts and vote fraud. They are kept as hashes where we can.
• Activity: follows, votes, reviews, reports, support messages, orders and payments.
• Payments: order records and the proofs you upload. Payment proofs are stored privately and seen only by staff who check payments.
• Clicks: short links and landing pages count visits with country, device and referrer, without storing your IP address in readable form.

Why

To run your account, count votes fairly, protect the site from fraud, process payments, answer you, and send the emails and notifications you choose.

Marketing email

Only with your consent, given unticked by default. Every marketing email has a one-click unsubscribe. We keep a record of when and how you agreed or left.

Who sees your data

Our staff, as their role needs. Email, WhatsApp and payment providers process what they need to deliver their service. Server owners never get your email or number; they see only counts.

Your choices

From your account settings you can download a copy of your data or delete your account. Deletion takes effect after 14 days; payment records and fraud signals are kept as long as the law and ban enforcement require.

Cookies
