6. Cookies and local storage

We use only essential storage. See our Cookie Policy for full details.

7. AI content moderation

Posts and comments are assessed by an automated system that estimates the probability of AI-generated content. This produces a score used to flag content for review. No personal data is shared with third-party AI providers for this purpose — scoring uses a local heuristic model.

8. Security

We implement appropriate technical measures including encryption in transit (TLS), encrypted database storage at rest (AES-256 via Neon), security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), input sanitisation, and audit logging.

9. International transfers

Your data may be processed in the United States by our infrastructure providers (Vercel, Neon). These transfers are protected by Standard Contractual Clauses as approved by the European Commission.

10. Changes to this policy

We will notify you of material changes via email or an in-app notice at least 30 days before they take effect.

11. Complaints

You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
