Privacy Policy

Information you provide

We receive your email address for magic-link sign-in; the country, province or state, and job title you enter; and any optional name, profile company, and profile photo you add. If you connect LinkedIn, our authentication provider records the connected identity and we store that connection status. We do not use the connection to verify employment or a story.

We also store stories, replies, pasted story images, optional story company names, reports, and applause you submit. Report reasons are available to moderators, not shown as public stories.

What becomes public

A published story or reply can be read by anyone. Story pages and map points show your job title and an approximate location based on your selected province or state, or country when a region is unavailable. They do not show a precise device location. Your display name and profile photo appear with your contributions only if you choose to show them. A company name appears with a story only if you separately choose to publish that story company name.

Your email address, private profile company, and LinkedIn account details are not displayed publicly. Public content can be copied, indexed, or shared by others. Hiding a story removes it from public views on this site, but cannot recall copies made elsewhere.

How information is used

We use account and profile information to sign you in, place stories on the approximate map, apply your display choices, limit abuse, and operate moderation. We use submitted content to display stories and discussions and to calculate site counts. We do not use member stories as verified research findings.

Storage, service providers, and browser data

Supabase provides authentication, the database, and private image storage. Vercel hosts the website. These providers may process information and technical request logs to deliver the service. To limit contact-form abuse, we store a one-way hash derived from the request's network address with each private request. Authentication uses session cookies. A theme preference is stored in your browser's local storage. The site does not currently run advertising trackers or sell member information.

Your choices and requests

You can update your profile and change whether your name and photo appear publicly in My account. You can choose whether to publish a company name with each story. Anyone can report content or request help with their information without a LinkedIn account. Requests are stored in a private operator queue, along with the email and details you supply. We use them to review and respond to your request. We may need to verify that a request comes from the account holder before disclosing or deleting account information.

Retention and changes

We keep account and submitted information while needed to operate the service, handle moderation, and meet applicable obligations. Hidden content may remain in our records. We may update this policy when our practices change; the effective date above identifies this version. See the Terms of Use for rules about posting.
