Privacy policy
Last updated 2026-05-27
What we collect
- Review submissions you send us (title, body, ratings, category).
- A salted SHA-256 hash of your IP address for rate-limiting and abuse correlation. We never store the raw IP.
- If you provide a contact for a content-removal request, that contact email.
- Standard server logs (timestamp, route, status) retained 30 days.
What we don’t collect
- No account login is required to read content.
- Reviews are anonymous by default; we do not link your handle to a real identity unless you explicitly verify employment.
- We do not sell personal data.
Cookies and ads
We use a single essential cookie for cookie-consent state. With your consent, Google AdSense may set advertising cookies. You can change consent at any time by clearing site data in your browser. See cookie details.

Retention
Reviews are retained while they remain useful for the community. Removed reviews are kept in a tamper-evident moderation log for 24 months (NIST 800-53 AU-11), then deleted. IP hashes are pruned after 90 days.
