Privacy

Anonymous participation

A signed first-party participant cookie enforces one response per collection and limits abuse. The server stores a one-way participant hash and a one-way network hash for short-lived rate limiting; public pages never expose either.

With each word submitted we record your network (IP) address and browser user-agent string, together with a one-way hash of the address, the country Cloudflare reports, and whether the request came from a mobile, tablet, desktop or automated client.

Your IP address and user-agent are personal data and we store them. They are held for abuse review only, are never shown on any public page, and are never attached to a word anyone can see. You can ask us to delete them at any time — write to [email protected].

This exists to keep the public word clouds honest. Without it, one person can submit the same word from many browsers and it would look like many people agreeing. None of it appears on any public page.

Accounts and comments

Email magic-link accounts protect longer public contributions and enable deletion, reporting and moderation controls. Public comments show the chosen display name, text and publication time—not the email address.

Professional report requests

Work emails are encrypted at rest and logically separated from public community queries. BrandTags records report consent, source page and delivery status, then securely forwards mapped requests to AI Rankia. Report delivery does not automatically create newsletter consent.

Contact and deletion

Before full public launch, this notice will include the operating entity, privacy contact, retention periods and jurisdiction-specific rights. Until then, the platform remains a controlled staging release.
