Privacy policy

What we collect

• Questions you ask. Questions sent to the ask/chat feature are processed to generate an answer and may be retained in aggregate to identify gaps in the knowledge base.
• Account data. If you create an account: your email address and a salted password hash. Votes you cast on entries are stored with your account.
• Usage analytics. We use Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights — aggregate, cookie-free page metrics (page views, referrers, web vitals). No cross-site tracking, no advertising identifiers.
• Guest answer quota. The free-answer limit is enforced three ways: a localStorage counter in your browser (display only), a signed al_guest cookie (HttpOnly, functional — it holds only your guest answer count, is used solely to enforce the free-answer quota, is never used for tracking or analytics, and expires after at most 1 year), and a daily abuse-prevention counter in our database keyed by a salted one-way hash of your IP address — the raw IP is never stored, no message content is stored, and expired counter rows are pruned automatically within 48 hours.

What we never do

• No selling or sharing of personal data with third parties.
• No advertising cookies or cross-site trackers.
• No use of your questions to train models.

Processing

Answers are generated using a hosted large-language-model API; your question text is sent to that provider solely to produce the answer. The site is hosted on Vercel; standard server logs (IP address, request path, timestamp) are retained briefly for security and abuse prevention. Rate-limit counters (chat, sign-in, and registration) are kept in our database keyed by a salted one-way hash — never the raw IP address — store no content, and are pruned automatically within 48 hours of their enforcement window expiring.

Your choices

You can use the site without an account. To delete your account and its data, contact us via the KB repository and we will remove it.
