Do you sell my personal information?
No. We do not sell personal information, we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information beyond what is needed to provide the service. There is nothing to opt out of — but the rights below still apply, and we honor Global Privacy Control signals automatically.
Rights you can exercise
| Right | What it means |
|---|---|
| Know / access | Get a copy of the personal information we hold about you and the categories we collect, use and disclose |
| Correct | Fix inaccurate personal information |
| Delete | Delete your account and personal information, subject to legal exceptions |
| Opt out of sale/sharing | Not applicable — we do none — but your signal is recorded and honored |
| Limit sensitive data use | Not applicable — we do not collect sensitive categories |
| Portability | Receive your contributions and account data in a machine-readable file |
| Non-discrimination | We will not degrade the service because you exercised a right |
These rights come from state privacy laws including the CCPA/CPRA in California and comparable statutes in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana and other states. Where a law does not apply to you, we extend the same choices anyway.
How to make a request
You can also email [email protected] from your account address with the words “privacy request” in the subject.
What happens next
- Verification. We confirm the request comes from you — normally by a link sent to the account email. For deletion we ask twice, because it cannot be undone.
- Response. We answer within 45 days, and may extend once by 45 days where the law allows, telling you why.
- Appeal. If we decline, we explain the exception we are relying on and how to appeal. Appeals are answered within 45 days. In some states you may then complain to your state attorney general.
Authorized agents
You may use an authorized agent. We will ask for written permission signed by you, and may ask you to confirm the authorization directly.
What we cannot delete
Some information survives an account deletion:
- Content that has entered a public record — for example, signatures on a petition already delivered to a government body.
- Records we must keep to comply with law, resolve disputes or enforce our agreements, including moderation records for repeat violations.
- Aggregate, de-identified statistics that cannot be linked back to you.
Where content remains, we can usually replace your display name with an anonymized label on request.
Children
We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. A parent or guardian can write to [email protected] to have a child’s account and data deleted.
Records
We publish an annual count of privacy requests received, complied with and denied, in line with California’s reporting expectations for larger businesses. The full picture of what we collect and why is in the privacy policy and the cookie policy.
