Privacy Policy

• Account details - your name, email address, username, password (stored only as a cryptographic hash), and any profile details you add such as a photo or bio.
• Content - the articles, comments, flashcard sets, and reactions you create.
• Messages - direct messages between users are end-to-end encrypted. We store only scrambled ciphertext and cannot read them.
• Newsletter subscriptions - if you subscribe (at sign-up or in the footer), we store your email address for that purpose.
• Usage data - standard server logs such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, used for security and reliability.

We use your data to operate Prosetify: creating and securing your account, showing your content to other readers, sending service emails (verification, welcome, and password-reset messages), delivering the newsletter if you asked for it, notifying you about activity on your articles, and keeping the platform safe from abuse.

We rely on a small number of providers to run Prosetify:

• Vercel - application hosting and delivery.
• Render - database hosting for your account and content.
• Our media hosting provider - storage of the images and files you upload, such as article covers and profile pictures. Images are served to you and other readers from Prosetify's own address, so this provider is never contacted directly by a reader's browser.
• Brevo - delivery of transactional email (verification, welcome, password reset) and newsletter messages.

These providers process data only on our instructions to provide their services.

Private chats are encrypted in your browser using keys generated on your device. Your private key never leaves your device except in encrypted form protected by your password. We cannot recover your messages, so please keep your password safe.

Prosetify uses a single session cookie to keep you signed in. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

You can delete your account at any time from your profile settings. Deleting your account permanently removes your articles, comments, flashcards, follows, notifications, and messages. Newsletter subscribers can unsubscribe by writing to us; we remove the address promptly.

Where applicable law grants you rights of access, correction, export, or erasure of your personal data, you can exercise most of them directly through the app, or contact us for help.

Prosetify is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

If we change this policy materially, we will announce it on the site and update the date above.
