Privacy policy

What we need

You can browse public questions without an account. When you sign in, the authentication provider supplies an account identifier and authentication state. Your account stores progress, favorites, Track Preferences, submissions, and the public username you choose inside the product.

How we use it

We use data to provide the catalogue, sync your state across devices, protect the service from abuse, and review community contributions. We do not sell your data or use it for behavioral advertising.

Service providers

Authentication uses Google’s Firebase Authentication. Namecheap hosts the site and the Node backend, and data is stored in a MySQL database there. The backend talks to the database on the browser’s behalf; the browser does not connect to the database directly. Submissions are retained for review inside the product.

Public contributions

A contribution you approve for publication may become public after review and can include your display name, content, and submitted references. Do not send personal information you do not want published.

Retention and deletion

We keep data while it is needed to provide the service or complete moderation work. You can delete your account and its data permanently at any time from your account settings. To request a correction to content you published, send a suggestion from the Suggest a question page without including sensitive information.

Security and updates

We use reasonable access controls and operational practices to protect data, but no internet service can promise absolute security. We may update this policy as the service changes and will publish the current version here.
