Privacy policy
Last updated: 3 August 2026We collect the minimum data needed to operate community votes and basic site security.
Voting data
When you vote, the server derives a one-way HMAC hash from your IP address and a private secret. The raw IP address is not stored in the vote database. We store the site, vote direction, hash, and timestamps so you can change your vote and we can reduce abuse.
Technical logs
Our hosting provider may process standard request data, including IP addresses, user agents, and error details, for security and reliability. Retention is controlled by the provider configuration.
Cookies
We use a locale cookie to remember your language. We do not run advertising cookies in this version of the site.
External links
Marketplace and review links lead to third-party services with their own privacy policies. Some marketplace links may include a referral code.
