Privacy Policy

What we store. When you scan an account we may persist: the handle, score, tier, confidence, generated report JSON, optional snapshot data (bios, post text samples, avatar references, follower/following samples), feedback labels you submit, and your account email if you register.

Why. Stored runs power history charts, library search, corpus coordination detection across accounts you have scanned, and rule tuning from feedback. Snapshots on disk support re-scoring without re-fetching when data is still fresh.

Retention. A public report stays listed while the latest run is less than 180 days old. After that, with no newer run, we unlist it (status expired). Guest free-scan claims older than 90 days are deleted. We do not sell scanned account data.

Disputes. If you own or represent a scanned account, submit a response at /u/:handle/dispute or /dispute. We acknowledge within 7 days at [email protected]. A subject dispute keeps the public report up and adds your statement as a banner.

Deletion. Contact the operator to request deletion of your user account and associated private runs. Public-by-handle reports may remain addressable by handle until separately removed.

Cookies. Authenticated sessions use an HTTP-only session cookie. Site analytics is Plausible: cookieless pageviews, referrers, and country at aggregate level, hosted in the EU — not a profile of you, and not used for ads. We do not use third-party advertising trackers. On signed-in report pages we may load X or Bluesky embed scripts so live posts appear automatically. On the public /u/:handle page those scripts load only after you choose “Show the live post”. The widgets can set their own cookies; snapshot cards never load them.
