Privacy

Last updated 10 November 2026.

Reading the site

You can read every public article without an account. The site sets no advertising or analytics cookies and loads no trackers. It remembers a few display choices, such as the colour theme, in your own browser; they never leave it. Links to videos open YouTube, which has its own privacy policy; videos are not embedded.

Having an account

• What we store: your e-mail address (to sign you in), and what you choose to add to your profile: handle, display name, a short bio, your GM setting and allegiance. With Google sign-in, Google tells us your e-mail address and name.
• A sign-in cookie keeps you signed in. It is needed for the site to work and is deleted when you sign out.
• Private to you: bookmarks, followed articles, notifications and drafts. Editors can read drafts and messages waiting for review, because they decide what is published.
• Public once approved: your edits and discussion messages, shown with your handle and display name, and kept in each article's history.
• Public at once: forum messages, shown with your handle and display name as soon as you send them. If you report a message, only editors see your report.

Who processes the data

The database and sign-in run on Supabase, in the European Union (Ireland). The site is hosted on Vercel. Sign-in e-mails are sent by Supabase or, later, by Resend. None of them may use the data for anything else.

Your choices

You can change your profile at any time in Settings. To see what we hold about you, or to have your account deleted, write to the contact address on the About page. When an account is deleted, approved contributions stay in the articles' history but are no longer linked to your name.
