Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-01-10
This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We aim to collect as little personal data as possible.
1. What we collect
- Basic technical data: standard server logs such as IP address, device/browser information, and timestamps. This is used for security, reliability, and abuse prevention (e.g., rate limiting).
- Functional identifiers: we may set a small cookie (for example, a random voter_id) to help prevent duplicate votes and keep voting features working.
- Voluntary submissions: if you send feedback or contact us, we receive the information you choose to provide.
- Local-only storage: some features may store preferences locally in your browser (for example, a watchlist). This stays on your device unless you explicitly send something to us.
2. How we use information
- Operate and improve the Site.
- Prevent abuse, fraud, and automated spam.
- Respond to messages and feedback.
- Measure performance and reliability.
3. Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us run the Site (for example, hosting and database providers) strictly as needed to provide the service.
4. Cookies
We use minimal cookies for functionality. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features (like voting) may not work properly.
5. Analytics (only if enabled)
If we enable analytics, we use it to understand aggregate usage (e.g., page views) and improve the Site. When possible, we prefer privacy-friendly settings that minimize personal data. Where required, we will ask for consent via a cookie banner.
6. Data retention
We retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above (for example, security logs and abuse-prevention signals are kept for a limited period). If you contact us, we may keep correspondence to resolve requests and maintain records.
7. Your rights
Depending on your location (including the EEA/UK), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to certain processing.
8. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The Last updated date will reflect changes.
