Privacy Policy

The site is designed to collect as little personal data as possible. The public commentary pages require no account and no sign-up. The non-monetary “support” action is stored only in your browser (localStorage) and is never sent to the server.

Browsing: the hosting/CDN provider may process standard technical logs (e.g. IP address, user agent) to deliver and protect the site. [PLACEHOLDER: name the hosting/CDN provider and retention period.]

Contributions (only if you contribute, and only once payments are active): payment is handled by Stripe. Stripe provides the operator with a payment record that may include your email, name, billing country, amount, and a payment identifier. Card details are handled by Stripe and are never stored by this site.

• To process and confirm contributions and to keep required financial and tax records.
• To compute an aggregate contribution total (if and when a counter is published).
• To handle refunds, chargebacks, fraud review, and legal/accounting obligations.
• To operate, secure, and defend the site against abuse.

By default nothing that identifies a contributor is public. Any public total shows only an aggregate. Names, emails, amounts, billing locations, IP addresses, and payment metadata are not published. If an optional public display (e.g. a nickname) is ever offered, it will be strictly opt-in and private by default.

Personal data is shared only with service providers needed to run the site (e.g. payment processor, hosting/CDN, and — if enabled — the database provider), and where required by law. Providers act under their own terms. [PLACEHOLDER: list processors and, if relevant, data transfer mechanisms.]

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data, subject to legal recordkeeping limits (financial records generally must be retained). To make a request, contact the address in the footer. [PLACEHOLDER: applicable privacy laws, lawful bases, and retention schedule to be set with counsel.]

The MVP does not use analytics, advertising pixels, or behavioral tracking, and sets no non-essential cookies. If that changes, this policy and any required consent notice will be updated first.
