Last updated on launch

Template text. Adapt it to what your deployment actually does, then have it reviewed.

What we store

  • Account: username, email, password hash, and anything you add to your profile.
  • Content: your threads, replies, critiques, votes and uploaded photos.
  • Photo metadata: EXIF read from your uploads (camera, lens, exposure, capture time) is stored and shown publicly. GPS coordinates are not stored.
  • Technical: server logs containing IP address and user agent, kept for abuse handling.

Why

To run the forum, show your posts to other members, prevent abuse, and power the gear pages. We do not sell personal data.

Third parties

Sign-in with Google is optional and only used to authenticate you. Hosting, database and image storage providers process data on our behalf.

Your rights

You can edit or delete your content at any time, and request full account deletion — which removes your profile, posts and uploads.

Cookies

A session cookie keeps you signed in and a small preference is stored locally for your light/dark theme choice. No advertising cookies are set.
