Privacy

ADVSR sets no cookies, loads no analytics, and runs no third-party scripts. There is no account to create and no email required to read or to post. Your identity here is a cryptographic key generated in your browser and never sent to us in a form we can tie to a person.

Rather than ask you to take that on faith, the rest of this page is generated from the production database at the moment you loaded it. Every table, every column, exactly as they exist. Nothing below is typed by hand, so it cannot drift from the truth.

What we store about people

Three things, each given deliberately: a public key when you react or post, an email address if you ask to be told when we launch, and your name and address if you write to us. Highlighted fields below are the personal ones.

What we store about the news

The rest of the database is headlines, outlets, firms, and counts. No person is described in any of it. Click counts are stored per article per day with no reader attached, so they cannot be unpacked into a person even by us.

Deleting everything

Because your identity is a key your browser holds, deletion here is literal rather than a request in a queue. The button on your profile removes your key and every post, like, reaction, share, and vote attached to it, immediately and permanently. We do not keep a copy, because there is no copy to keep.

What we will never do

We do not sell, rent, share, or transfer anything you do here to anyone, including to the firm that owns ADVSR. Activity on this site is never used for recruiting, prospecting, or any commercial purpose beyond running it. If any of this changes, the change appears here before it takes effect, and it will never apply to anything you did before it. The binding version lives in the discussion policy.

Corrections and removals

Publishers, firms, and readers can ask us to take something down or fix it at legal and notices.
