What we collect
Account details, private submission content, optional evidence, purchase records, and newsletter consent are collected only for the relevant product flow. Marketing consent is separate from submissions and purchases.
Analytics choices
Google Analytics loads only after a visitor chooses “Allow analytics.” It helps us understand visits, traffic sources, devices, and use of public pages. We remove query parameters and URL fragments from the page address sent to Google, and we do not send private submission content or payment details. Visitors may decline without losing access to the site and can change their choice at any time through “Analytics settings.”
What stays private
Contributor contact details, raw submissions, evidence, private review notes, buyer email addresses, and payment-provider payloads are not public. Evidence is stored in private access-controlled storage and is available only to its owner and authorized editors.
Publication and anonymity
Public cases contain an editorially anonymized version. Details may be rounded, ranged, omitted, or generalized to reduce identification risk.
Service providers
Supabase supports account, database, and file-storage functions. PayPal processes payments and receives checkout information under its own privacy terms; Failfolio does not store complete card details. Google provides consent-based website analytics. When an administrator selects AI-assisted screening, an AI provider may process the private submission text; manual screening remains available as a separate route.
Account deletion
Deleting an account removes private identity linkage and private evidence according to the deletion policy. A licensed, already-published anonymized case may be retained without contributor linkage where the publication license permits it.
