Privacy policy

What we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and where anonymity ends.

Last updated May 30, 2026

1Information we collect

Anonymous submissions

Submitting a confession does not require personal identification. We do record:

  • The content of your submission
  • The timestamp of the submission
  • Basic technical information (IP address, browser type) for security purposes

Technical information

We automatically collect a small amount of technical information:

  • IP addresses, stored temporarily for security
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent

2How we use your information

  • Provide and maintain the service
  • Moderate content for community safety
  • Prevent abuse and spam
  • Improve the platform
  • Comply with legal obligations

3Information sharing

We do not sell, trade or otherwise transfer your information to third parties, except:

  • When required by law enforcement or legal process
  • To protect our rights, property or safety
  • With service providers who help us operate the platform, under strict confidentiality

4Data retention

Published confessionsKept indefinitely, unless deleted
IP addressesMaximum 30 days

5Limits of anonymity

We work hard to protect your anonymity, but you should understand the limits:

  • Complete anonymity cannot be guaranteed
  • Law enforcement may be able to identify users through legal means
  • We may be required to cooperate with legal investigations

Never put identifying details — names, phone numbers, addresses or handles — in a confession. Once it is published, everyone can see it.

  • Session management
  • Security purposes
  • Basic analytics, aggregated and non-personal

You can disable cookies in your browser, but some features will stop working. See our cookie policy for the full breakdown.

  • Regular security reviews
  • Limited internal access to user data

  • Ask questions about our privacy practices
  • Report privacy concerns to us
