  • content you voluntarily submit (reports, feedback)
  • technical data (browser type, device, approximate location)
  • usage data (pages visited, interactions)
  • server logs (IP address, browser type, device type) retained for security purposes

We do not require users to provide names, emails, or any personally identifiable information to submit a report.

Cookies and tracking

Submissions may be reviewed to protect privacy, reduce harm, and prevent identifiable or sensitive information from being published.

We may remove or modify content if it violates our policies or upon valid request.
