1. Privacy & Data Protection Design

We apply data minimization principles to reduce unnecessary tracking and protect contributor privacy:

  • Focused Collection: Only necessary post and account data required for platform operation are processed.
  • Automated Sanitization: Metadata and device signatures can be stripped in-browser before publishing.
  • Secure Storage: Information is stored securely via Firebase and Cloudflare with operational controls.

See the full Privacy Policy for details on what is collected and how it is used.
