Privacy Policy
How we handle your data.
Information We Collect
We collect your email address, username, and display name when you create an account. We also collect usage data such as pages visited and actions taken. Reviews, earnings reports, and community posts are stored with your account but displayed anonymously.
Encryption & Security
All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms. We never store plaintext passwords. Database connections are encrypted and access is restricted to authorized services only.
Two-Factor Authentication
We offer optional two-factor authentication (2FA) via authenticator apps. When enabled, you'll need both your password and a time-based code to sign in. Backup codes are provided for account recovery.
Cookies
We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. Optional analytics cookies help us understand how the site is used. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time from this page.
CAPTCHA & Bot Protection
We use CAPTCHA verification on login and registration to prevent automated abuse. This helps protect the platform from spam accounts and fake reviews.
Account Lockout
For your security, accounts are temporarily locked after multiple failed login attempts. This protects against brute-force attacks. If your account is locked, wait a few minutes before trying again or contact support.
Advertising
We may display third-party advertisements. Ad networks may use cookies to serve relevant ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising through your cookie preferences.
Third-Party Services
We use third-party services for authentication (Google, Discord), analytics, and hosting. These services have their own privacy policies. We only share the minimum data necessary for these services to function.
Data Retention
Account data is retained as long as your account is active. Deleted accounts have their personal data removed within 30 days. Anonymized reviews and earnings data may be retained for statistical purposes.
Content Moderation
All reviews are moderated before publication. Reports are reviewed by our moderation team. We may access content for moderation, legal compliance, or to investigate violations of our guidelines.
Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. You can export your data or request account deletion from your dashboard. For any privacy-related requests, contact us at the email below.
